The Hunchback of Notre Dame II (2002)

Rating: G
Run Time: 1 hour 8 minutes

Genre(s): Animation, Fantasy, Romance, Musical
Production Co.: Disney Television Animation
Director: Bradley Raymond
Starring: Jason Alexander, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Tom Hulce


Who would I recommend this to?
Fans of straight to video sequels.

What is this about?
Quasimodo has found love, or is she a liar and a thief?!

When would be a good time to watch this?
Whenever, take your time.

Where does it take place?
Paris, France.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I hadn't seen it before and why not...

How did I like this?
It's not terrible. It's actually pretty cute at times. The songs aren't good though, and this villain cannot even compare to the epic evil of Judge Frollo. But this is meant to be rather light-hearted to give Quasi his happily ever after.

It's certainly better than other Disney straight to video sequels.

When would be a good time to watch this?
Never.

Where does it take place?
Arendelle.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because it was on Disney+ and I make bad life decisions.

How did I like this?
I need to speak to a manager. I demand a thirty minute refund. The writers tried way too hard with the jokes and references; they were beyond forced. And Olaf sounded like a serial killer.
