Negative Positive
Title: Very mature
Review: In the "lessons in parenting" category, I have The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Since my daughters love Disney movies, I picked this up with several others and popped it in one Family Movie Night. What a mistake; and I will certainly pre-watch other Disney movie going forward.THoND is dark, and devoid of much of the typical Disney charm - surprising since it's by the same director and producer duo asBeauty and the Beast. There is a scene in which the priest locks a family in their house and lights it on fire, and another in which he sings about his lust for Esmeralda while watching her dance erotically in the fire. Other Disney cartoons have hinted at such things, of course, but usually off-screen or in a humorous way for the adults watching that the kids will miss. Fortunately my 4-year-old had wandered away bored before the very mature parts, but it left me wondering what Disney was thinking, especially in a G-rated film.
Is the review positive or negative?
