The acting in this animation is amazing. With an all-star cast I would not expect anything less, but it really does astound you the way all of the players are in sync with each other. You can feel yourself getting drawn into the animation and this plot over and over again. It's extremely intense animation. You can watch it at fr#eec#artoo#ns (delete all #)!!
i know ever video theres atleast one comment saying somthing about how many dislikes there are. but this cartoon looks awesome i live in a small town so it never came to our theatre but i watch it on "cartoons free us"...
I honestly believe this is one of the most under rated Disney movies that have come out in the past 20 years. People complain about it being too dark amd perverted for kids. I watched it ALL the time as a kid and never had an issue. Watching it as an adult and truely understanding the situations is amazing still. Its made for all ages and executes that purpose masterfully.
@StudioVibe i 100% agree with you, but i also have to say that this is also one of disney's best films. everything is perfect and it is dark but it also has a perfect, likeable hero, an amazing score, an awesome heroine, a truly realistic and evil villain and amazing source material.
This trailer doesn't do the movie justice. I remember watching this exact trailer as a kid, from a VHS of another Disney movie I had. I never saw it the movie itself until last year, and it blew me away. This trailer doesn't show how dark, complex and mind-blowingly epic this film is.
DIsney is all about this kind of animation, theatrical, romantic, memorable, nostalgic. I hate how they destroy disney films today like minute men? camp rock? and now a god damn, muppets 2011?
@darkariser07 I have to agree disney has sunk to lows with movies like those, but don't hate the muppets movie. It was actually VERY good and it was almost as if Jim Henson himself worked on it!
Main character isolation in a tower lol a rebel character inspiring for the person to escape evil parental guardian all that jazz lol they're not all actually the same thing but might as well be cept quasi and 'punzel are opposite sex as well as opposite on looks but same kind hearted characters :)
As a kid I always dreamed of being a goo filmmaker, and watching these early 90's Disney films always made me feel small, asking myself "How am I going to top that?" Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Hunchback of Norte Dame these were to me part of Disney's masterpieces.
I think if Disney showed a trailer that gave a true feel of the movie, parent wouldnt have taken their kids and it would have failed. So I can see why they make everything look so fun and happy.
I truly appreciate this work. It was well animationed beautiful story. I'm a big fan of dramas in general, and it's really great to see something like this. I would recommend this to all who don't believe! Hear this voice in this trailer and continue watching it on freecartoons.
this is a story about hating people that are different if i remember correctly the movie starts out with a mother throwing her baby down a well because it was so ugly but some how it survived and this sick guy with some kind of fetish kept it inside the church but when the people found about his fetish they burned the church to the ground to kill the monster
@scar504 actually, she was running from a judge who believed she was carrying stolen goods--he killed her and tried to drown the baby, but the archdeacon told him to keep it as penance for murdering an innocent woman.
lol I always laugh when I think of this movie, because I remember when I was in middle school, in 7th and 8th grade, there was a guy at school that everybody used to call him "Hunchback" I know it was fucked up back then, and still is, but I was like 12 or 13 years old at the time, so of course I was immature back then
I've read the book and know that Disney has ... well, a happier ending in mind. But I still want to see this movie just to see how Disney interprets the story.
dident really appreciate this movie when i was a kid. i liked more like Tarzan and those movies because it was more action. But now this is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. it has such a beutiful messega. Everytime i see this movie it gives me goose bumps and i almost starts to cry. Quasimodo is a TRUE hero!
This cartoon is great revolution in the cartoon industry. Lots of twists and turns and even some fantasy scenes will take you over, you will bask in every second of the cartoon. Fast ending with lot of questions will left you waiting for the next part...I just can not wait for freecartoons-us to bring on the next one.
Wow. Worst representation of this movie I've ever seen. If Disney was brave enough to make this masterpiece, why'd they chicken out on the trailer? They make it look like a goofy, fun, run-of-the-mill comedy when it's SO much more than that--I mean, it's based on a Victor Hugo novel, of all things, has a BRILLIANT score/beautiful songs, and fantastic animation. They should have been proud of that and advertised it that way.
And who else would LOVE to see the Nostalgia Critic review this?
@TheaterRaven I think Disney knew that if parents knew what the film was really going to be like, they wouldn't have taken their kids to watch it and this film would've failed commercially.
@Sanguiluna True, but it's not like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is an obscure story. It's one of Victor Hugo's most famous novels, probably the one he's best known for, after "Les Miserables". I know that, in this day and age, it's rare to find people who read classic literature for fun, but it would be hard to escape this story. Several films based on the book, including a silent one, were made long before Disney's version came out, so I don't know why they'd expect parents to be surprised.

@TheaterRaven Probably because Disney is famous for "Disneyfying" even the most grimm of stories into kid friendly versions, so even if parents knew the original story, this trailer probably made them think this was yet another example of this.
@Sanguiluna True. It's just a shame that this trailer doesn't present their version for how dark it is. If you search for the Spanish trailer of this movie, they really captured the epic scale and brooding emotions of the story.
@TheaterRaven Ya see here's the funny thing about Disney especially in this day and age. They have a tendency to provide better marketing for films that aren't so hot and lousy marketing for movies that are actually really good.
Like for instance in 2010: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was the former category and Tangled was in the latter.
@MrTristy22 I totally agree with you about Tangled. It's why I never went to see it in theaters. The promo for it on TV made it seem like it was a silly movie. Wish I had. I finally saw it 2 months ago on TV. I think most of the marketing was online, well the best ones anyway. Like that Smolder by Flynn video. If they had shown that on TV, I would've gone straight to see it. (Then again, I barely watch TV so who knows.)
@TheaterRaven They didn't want to alienate their key audience. The film, as I remember, works on subtlety. It's one of those films that kids will probably enjoy but their parents will enjoy more because they can understand it better. Of course, to get parents to see the film, their children have to be interested, hence this kid-tacular trailer.
@Tacom4ster Well, he's done reviews of good-quality films, and even films he personally enjoys, like in his "Hook" review, he started it with "Is it possible to make fun of a movie you actually like? . . . I don't know, but I'm doin' it."
And yes, I saw Nostalgia Chick's partial review of it and it made me wish she'd do a full episode dedicated to it.
@TheaterRaven I thought this trailer was pretty good. What you want the trailer to do? Give out spoilers which would kinda ruin the movie? I don't think it was chickening out, its just they didn't want to reveal too much and ruin the surprise of how good the movie really is.
@TheaterRaven Oh and as for them making the movie look like a comedy, remember despite the darkness in this, the movie was generally made for children. They wanted to make it to where kids would come with families. If they showed all the dark and scary parts in the trailer, it might have discourage kids from wanting to see it.
They wanted to make a good impression for kids and people in general first and leave the darkness as a surprise for those who caught onto the dark themes.
@TechouNoKokoro Just because the movie is for kids doesn't mean they had to totally sugarcoat the story/show spoilers. Look at the Spanish trailer for this movie (search for "El Jorobado de Notre Dame (Trailer de Cine)"). In even less time than this trailer and with hardly any dialogue, it manages to showcase this film for the epic, dark awesomeness that it is. Disney took kids seriously by adapting Victor Hugo's book in the first place; the trailer should have done the same. :)
@TheaterRaven Well I still think that they were trying to make it more appealing to kids and of course the trailer of another country is gonna do it differently. What you really expect from the US? To me they were just trying to make it appealing to kids and have the dark spots as a surprise for when people watch the movie. That's just my opinion and I've see worse trailers.
I know I shouldn't let this get to me but what's with the smile face at the end of your paragraph?
@TechouNoKokoro I could have sworn I saw a much darker (than this) trailer for this movie. And maybe it's because I was a very mature 8-year-old (I even understood the concept of Quasimodo's heartbreak over Esmeralda not loving him without needing to see him rip the heart card), but if I saw this trailer, I would be mad at Disney for trying to convince me this was a fluffy comedy when it was more. :) was to show I was debating friendly, not arguing or anything.
@TheaterRaven Hmm I was kinda clueless when I first watch this movie when I was a kid. I didn't see the deeper or dark stuff. When I first saw Frollo, I just thought he was another insane villain babblying about nonce sense stuff and he just wanted to kill Quasi cause he was ugly to him. I think I got that he hated Esmeralda for being a gypsy but for what reason I didn't know until I got older and watch this again. I was a naive little kid back then.
@TheaterRaven As for the trailer, I say, I thought it was good to me, though I guess it's cause I'm not like a deep deep movie fan (I barely watch movies nowadays) and a movie trailer is just a trailer to me so I guess I just don't see the "injustice" in it when in order to really judge a movie you gotta see it or read the full beginning to end summary of it.
@NymphadoraBeeWolf It's mainly happy in the end but basically what it's about is that, Frollo (creepy old dude) unwilling takes Quasi in after killing his mother for being a gypsy. Esmeralda appears and both Quasi and Frollo fall in love (though Frollo's mainly lusts for her not love) Quasi ends up going against his master Frollo to protect Esmeralda and his new found friends. I won't spoil the end.
*Gigglesnort* Once you've seen the movie, this trailer is aweful. It does the film no justice, it makes it look so lighthearted and happy. Then you watchi it and the heros almost get hung bbuy the guuy who introdiced the story. The heroine almost gets burned alive, and the villain falls into a pit of lava after quoting the Bible for his own devices. Can't scare the kiddies though! Hehe, marketing at its finest here folks ;) Loved the movie by the way, just noting how they tried to advertise it.
I was thinking back of watching some Disney movies and recently I've watched quite a few old ones, and thought I'd give this one a chance. When I was younger this movie creeped me out, and it still does. I can't believe I even watched this trailer.
Have you forgotten there's also other animated movies for adults? but some of them usually get cult followings. There's Heavy Metal, Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Nightmare Before Christmas, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (Warriors of the Wind), Fire and Ice, Princess Mononoke, Wicked City, Fist of the North Star, Golgo 13 The Professional, Heavy Traffic, South Park The Movie, Urotsukidoji, Perfect Blue, American Pop, Pink Floyd's The wall etc.
I saw this movie in theaters 3 times when i was 15 and loved it, i thought Esmerelda was boner-vision and had fantasies about her as a teen. Definitely a Disney movie with balls and the darkest since The Black Cauldron.
@Johnlindsey289 I saw it in theaters too. I wanted to ever since i saw a trailer found in the Aristocats 1996 tape and my mom took me. I was four at that time. I had a Golden book and a stuffed Quasimodo. Tomorrow marks its 15th anniversary. I'll celebrate by sitting on a comfy couch in front of the tv with nothing but a bowl of buttered popcorn, a can of Pepsi and a box of Raisinets just as i have done in the summer of 1996.
@dominosoul Well, even for a kid's movie it was still dark. Try to find a kid's film these days that has songs about burning in hell and the plight of minorities that go along with themes of corruption, racism, and xenophobia, among others.
I wish kid's films these days were just as ballsy. Darker films are always more entertaining, and while for kid's films there should certainly be some limits to how dark they can get, there is no reason for them to be completely light-hearted.
@persianking44 Agreed, I loved this movie as a kid...although I didn't register it as being dark at the time(obviously when you're super young stuff just goes over your head)I love it more now for pushing boundaries.
@dominosoul Likewise. Grew up with these films. And of course any kids like ourselves back then didn't think it was that dark, but we certainly identified who were the villains and had some basic understanding of why they were villainous. Only now when we reflect upon them do we go, "Damn, didn't know Frollo was that evil!"
Also, having read some of Hugo's original novel, I have to say that this is probably the best adaptation possible. Movies have to appeal to a broader audience after all....
@dominosoul ...and a literal adaptation would have probably failed as it would be more difficult to identify with Quasimodo and the other characters. I mean, if I remember correctly, even the priest who saved his life in the film barely tolerates him in the book, and Esmeralda only accepts him if she cannot see him.
Ya know, I'm almost 19 and it wasn't til about a couple of weeks ago that I saw this movie for the first time, and now I know why. It's so dark. A great movie, but dark nonetheless.
This is a much better movie than this suggests. It's probably not on the same level as The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast, but it isn't nearly as terrible as some of the crap Disney currently churns out either.
Im 16 and half right now(yeah I still say "and a half" deal with it) and looking back this is one disney movie i havent seen like aive seen trailers and stuff but I havent seen the whole movie maybe i should watch it
There is no fun in this movie. It's actually scary, sad, eye-opening, inspiring, & makes-you-think. Some of it isn't even really intended for kids. It almost got a PG-13 Rating. That's saying something for a Disney cartoon.
They probably had to market it like this so people would take their kids and go see it.
interesting!! guys, its something that you ought to watch...just check out cartoonsi.co.cc and find the best of online cartoons, that will surprise you with its quality!
When you get something really unexpected, you don't know what to say, but the whole day gets better. This cartoon made my day better...Open you eyes, people and be free to see this perfect story. I just couldn't help myself from laughing...very amusing. View it on cartoonsi.co.cc!!
Leading candidate for the year's best movie. From the opening scene to the end, this movie that I saw on cartoonsi.co.cc keeps the audience on its collective toes moving in unexpected directions.
@baxic666 I think most children have seen these Classic Disney films. First of all, they air on Disney Channel quite often (which is a channel that a lot of children today watch). Also, children today get Pixar films, which are also very, VERY good.
...uh...um....uh...how was this movie marketed towards kids again? You know there's an issue with the advertising when they only show the first third of the movie. Well, at least Disney learned their lesson and--wait...the Tangled trailer did this too, didn't it...?
If they could just cut the "Fun, family adventure" stuff this would be a great trailer. The Bells of Notre Dame is the perfect song to sum up the story with; it portrays the heart of the film very well and it's a great song to use in a trailer. Now, I'm not saying they should make it completely dark, I mean just look at the Pocahontas trailer. It shows some comedy but the true heart of the film is in it's depth and beauty and the trailer is evidence of that.
the more i look at all this old disney stuff the more i wanna be out of highschool and start film school and make the film of my dreams a film adaption of kingdom hearts
They should have marketed it as they did with the Lion King and Pocahontas and just used "The Bells of Notre Dame" opening sequence (maybe cut down a little) without any voice over. Let the music and animation do the talking.
For the people out there that think this trailer doesnt make justice to the movie... I agree with you all.
In the other hand, search in this site El jorobado de Notre Dame trailer the one uploaded by ricklan (is the first result). It is in spanish, it is really simple, but it captures the movie perfectly- you watch this and you know the movie will be epic-
Thank goodness I watch the movie without had watched the trailer or for sure I´ll had missed this masterpiece. (as a child I wasnt sure if I liked more Aladdin, The beauty and the beast or The little mermaid; but now at my twenties Im sure that the best two Disney movies are this one and Fantasia)
Okay, I LOVE this movie, but this trailer did not do it justice at all. It makes it look like your typical family-friendly, goofy, sometimes-serious run-of-the-mill Disney movie instead of the awesome epic that it is. They kept this brilliantly dark--for a kids' movie adaptation of the great Hugo novel, anyway--and to see the trailer present it as otherwise almost seems like an insult, like they didn't think the audience could appreciate such an epically amazing, dark tale.
i really miss the 90s i hope the princess and the frog inspired disney enough to go back to making good hand drawn movies while i admit i understand why they originally decided to start making only cgi films because animation is changing but i hope they see how much people like me and everyone here on youtube love the old animation and decide to make alot more 2d animated films
I truly cannot contemplate a single way to improve this film that I saw on freecartoonsus, it has earned the status of a masterpiece and a classic to last for years to come.
If we are in group and Decide to watch a Disney Movie and I Propose The Hunchback of Notre Dame (which is my favorite Disney movie of all) everybody votes for Lion King. Sure, why you should watch a movie with an ugly protagonist when you can watch a lion which is more visually attractive? Nobody cares of Quasimodo, and Nobody Cares about the message and point of the movie. That's not fair.
@coralin378 i agree completely. this movie was made masterfully, even if it wasn't entirely correct ot the book.(i read the entire book in a month and i LOVED it. i even made my own HoND bookmark out of a cheap hyvee chopstick :))
I watched this movie years ago when i was a child. I never understood the message behind it but years later i watched it again and now i finally understand what this movie means. For those who found the meaning and i can say is good for you.
If they made this movie in real life, I would pick Katey Sagal to play Esmeralda. I think she would make a feirce gypsy.

@Sanguiluna True, but it's not like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is an obscure story. It's one of Victor Hugo's most famous novels, probably the one he's best known for, after "Les Miserables". I know that, in this day and age, it's rare to find people who read classic literature for fun, but it would be hard to escape this story. Several films based on the book, including a silent one, were made long before Disney's version came out, so I don't know why they'd expect parents to be surprised.

@TheaterRaven Probably because Disney is famous for "Disneyfying" even the most grimm of stories into kid friendly versions, so even if parents knew the original story, this trailer probably made them think this was yet another example of this.
Sanguiluna 5 months ago
@Sanguiluna True. It's just a shame that this trailer doesn't present their version for how dark it is. If you search for the Spanish trailer of this movie, they really captured the epic scale and brooding emotions of the story.

@TheaterRaven Ya see here's the funny thing about Disney especially in this day and age. They have a tendency to provide better marketing for films that aren't so hot and lousy marketing for movies that are actually really good.
Like for instance in 2010: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was the former category and Tangled was in the latter.
MrTristy22 5 months ago
@MrTristy22 I totally agree with you about Tangled. It's why I never went to see it in theaters. The promo for it on TV made it seem like it was a silly movie. Wish I had. I finally saw it 2 months ago on TV. I think most of the marketing was online, well the best ones anyway. Like that Smolder by Flynn video. If they had shown that on TV, I would've gone straight to see it. (Then again, I barely watch TV so who knows.)

@TheaterRaven They didn't want to alienate their key audience. The film, as I remember, works on subtlety. It's one of those films that kids will probably enjoy but their parents will enjoy more because they can understand it better. Of course, to get parents to see the film, their children have to be interested, hence this kid-tacular trailer.

@TheaterRaven I thought this trailer was pretty good. What you want the trailer to do? Give out spoilers which would kinda ruin the movie? I don't think it was chickening out, its just they didn't want to reveal too much and ruin the surprise of how good the movie really is.
TechouNoKokoro 3 months ago
@TheaterRaven Oh and as for them making the movie look like a comedy, remember despite the darkness in this, the movie was generally made for children. They wanted to make it to where kids would come with families. If they showed all the dark and scary parts in the trailer, it might have discourage kids from wanting to see it.
They wanted to make a good impression for kids and people in general first and leave the darkness as a surprise for those who caught onto the dark themes.
TechouNoKokoro 3 months ago
@TechouNoKokoro Just because the movie is for kids doesn't mean they had to totally sugarcoat the story/show spoilers. Look at the Spanish trailer for this movie (search for "El Jorobado de Notre Dame (Trailer de Cine)"). In even less time than this trailer and with hardly any dialogue, it manages to showcase this film for the epic, dark awesomeness that it is. Disney took kids seriously by adapting Victor Hugo's book in the first place; the trailer should have done the same. :)
TheaterRaven 2 months ago
@TheaterRaven Well I still think that they were trying to make it more appealing to kids and of course the trailer of another country is gonna do it differently. What you really expect from the US? To me they were just trying to make it appealing to kids and have the dark spots as a surprise for when people watch the movie. That's just my opinion and I've see worse trailers.
I know I shouldn't let this get to me but what's with the smile face at the end of your paragraph?
TechouNoKokoro 2 months ago
@TechouNoKokoro I could have sworn I saw a much darker (than this) trailer for this movie. And maybe it's because I was a very mature 8-year-old (I even understood the concept of Quasimodo's heartbreak over Esmeralda not loving him without needing to see him rip the heart card), but if I saw this trailer, I would be mad at Disney for trying to convince me this was a fluffy comedy when it was more. :) was to show I was debating friendly, not arguing or anything.
TheaterRaven 2 months ago
@TheaterRaven Hmm I was kinda clueless when I first watch this movie when I was a kid. I didn't see the deeper or dark stuff. When I first saw Frollo, I just thought he was another insane villain babblying about nonce sense stuff and he just wanted to kill Quasi cause he was ugly to him. I think I got that he hated Esmeralda for being a gypsy but for what reason I didn't know until I got older and watch this again. I was a naive little kid back then.
TechouNoKokoro 2 months ago
@TheaterRaven As for the trailer, I say, I thought it was good to me, though I guess it's cause I'm not like a deep deep movie fan (I barely watch movies nowadays) and a movie trailer is just a trailer to me so I guess I just don't see the "injustice" in it when in order to really judge a movie you gotta see it or read the full beginning to end summary of it.

NymphadoraBeeWolf 9 months ago
@NymphadoraBeeWolf It's mainly happy in the end but basically what it's about is that, Frollo (creepy old dude) unwilling takes Quasi in after killing his mother for being a gypsy. Esmeralda appears and both Quasi and Frollo fall in love (though Frollo's mainly lusts for her not love) Quasi ends up going against his master Frollo to protect Esmeralda and his new found friends. I won't spoil the end.

*Gigglesnort* Once you've seen the movie, this trailer is aweful. It does the film no justice, it makes it look so lighthearted and happy. Then you watchi it and the heros almost get hung bbuy the guuy who introdiced the story. The heroine almost gets burned alive, and the villain falls into a pit of lava after quoting the Bible for his own devices. Can't scare the kiddies though! Hehe, marketing at its finest here folks ;) Loved the movie by the way, just noting how they tried to advertise it.

I saw this movie in theaters 3 times when i was 15 and loved it, i thought Esmerelda was boner-vision and had fantasies about her as a teen. Definitely a Disney movie with balls and the darkest since The Black Cauldron.

@Johnlindsey289 I saw it in theaters too. I wanted to ever since i saw a trailer found in the Aristocats 1996 tape and my mom took me. I was four at that time. I had a Golden book and a stuffed Quasimodo. Tomorrow marks its 15th anniversary. I'll celebrate by sitting on a comfy couch in front of the tv with nothing but a bowl of buttered popcorn, a can of Pepsi and a box of Raisinets just as i have done in the summer of 1996.

@dominosoul Well, even for a kid's movie it was still dark. Try to find a kid's film these days that has songs about burning in hell and the plight of minorities that go along with themes of corruption, racism, and xenophobia, among others.
I wish kid's films these days were just as ballsy. Darker films are always more entertaining, and while for kid's films there should certainly be some limits to how dark they can get, there is no reason for them to be completely light-hearted.
persianking44 10 months ago 2
@persianking44 Agreed, I loved this movie as a kid...although I didn't register it as being dark at the time(obviously when you're super young stuff just goes over your head)I love it more now for pushing boundaries.
dominosoul 10 months ago
@dominosoul Likewise. Grew up with these films. And of course any kids like ourselves back then didn't think it was that dark, but we certainly identified who were the villains and had some basic understanding of why they were villainous. Only now when we reflect upon them do we go, "Damn, didn't know Frollo was that evil!"
Also, having read some of Hugo's original novel, I have to say that this is probably the best adaptation possible. Movies have to appeal to a broader audience after all....
persianking44 10 months ago
@dominosoul ...and a literal adaptation would have probably failed as it would be more difficult to identify with Quasimodo and the other characters. I mean, if I remember correctly, even the priest who saved his life in the film barely tolerates him in the book, and Esmeralda only accepts him if she cannot see him.

There is no fun in this movie. It's actually scary, sad, eye-opening, inspiring, & makes-you-think. Some of it isn't even really intended for kids. It almost got a PG-13 Rating. That's saying something for a Disney cartoon.
They probably had to market it like this so people would take their kids and go see it.

If they could just cut the "Fun, family adventure" stuff this would be a great trailer. The Bells of Notre Dame is the perfect song to sum up the story with; it portrays the heart of the film very well and it's a great song to use in a trailer. Now, I'm not saying they should make it completely dark, I mean just look at the Pocahontas trailer. It shows some comedy but the true heart of the film is in it's depth and beauty and the trailer is evidence of that.

Okay, I LOVE this movie, but this trailer did not do it justice at all. It makes it look like your typical family-friendly, goofy, sometimes-serious run-of-the-mill Disney movie instead of the awesome epic that it is. They kept this brilliantly dark--for a kids' movie adaptation of the great Hugo novel, anyway--and to see the trailer present it as otherwise almost seems like an insult, like they didn't think the audience could appreciate such an epically amazing, dark tale.

If we are in group and Decide to watch a Disney Movie and I Propose The Hunchback of Notre Dame (which is my favorite Disney movie of all) everybody votes for Lion King. Sure, why you should watch a movie with an ugly protagonist when you can watch a lion which is more visually attractive? Nobody cares of Quasimodo, and Nobody Cares about the message and point of the movie. That's not fair.
