thesterlingweaver Review of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II

The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002 Video)

I was looking through the sequel heap, and I saw this, and it offended me

[1/10 · 10 August 2022]

I was absolutely offended by how God awful this movie is, the movie is only an hour long, which is short, even for a Disney sequel, in the first 10 minutes of the movie, they have to tell us several times that Esmeralda and Phoebus are married and somehow already have a kid, which is eventually used as a plot device in the end but I will get on that later, so of course this movie does the basic sequel thing of "our main character didn't have a love interest in the first movie, let's just slap one in this pointless second movie without putting any effort of originality into it" and what they give us in this boring relationship that literally nobody cares about, is Terrible songs, and the whole "liar revealed" trope that EVERYONE IS TIRED OF SEEING IT, DISNEY, JUST STOP USING IT OR SO HELP ME, every single character in the first movie except Quasimodo is now minor and serve almost no purpose, and as usual in these terrible Disney sequels, they change the voice actors to unknown celebrities that were probably overpaid because Disney doesn't know what to do with their money anymore, the animation is, and this is debatable, the worst in any Disney sequel, and by debatable, I mean that some people would have said that belles magical world has worse animation, and I that is totally understandable, this movie is just so boring because literally nothing happens, the villian is terrible and all he wants to do is steal a bell because he somehow knows that for some stupid reason, they put diamonds inside of the bell, yes, I'm being serious, THEY PUT DIAMONDS INSIDE OF A BELL, WHY THE (expletive) WOULD YOU DO THAT? DO YOU IDIOTS NOT KNOW HOW BELLS WORK? BING, BONG! THATS IT! BONG, BONG! And so back to that kid of Esmeralda's and Phoebus's I talked about earlier, Disney just smashed the plot device button on him because if the villian doesn't get the bell, he's gonna take the kid back to his EVIL circus, so even though the villian, I guess, got what he demanded for, he still takes the kid back to his EVIL circus, OH NO, I SHOULD PROBABLY START BITING OFF MY NAI- oh wait, Quasimodo, 5 seconds later just swings down to take the child back, WOW, WHAT A CLIMAX BECAUSE SOMETHING TOTALLY HAPPENED, (if you can't tell I'm being sarcastic) this is one of the worst animated abominations I've ever seen, I got nothing out of this movie, and I want you to burn your copy of The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, please do, there is nothing good about this movie, it is worthless.
