In 1996 Walt Disney released the animated musical film The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was loosely based on the much darker novel by Victor Hugo. In becoming a family-friendly feature, the film added in three singing gargoyle sidekicks and dropped the main character deaths that occur in the book. Still, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is often overlooked and lacks the popularity seen with many of the other classic Disney Animation films from that time period. However the disregard for the film isn't due to a lack of quality, the story itself is quite moving and examines a lot of heavy topics.

Disney's version of Victor Hugo's tale follows the kindhearted Quasimodo, a physically deformed bell-ringer who has been taken in and raised by the cold-hearted and villainous Minister of Justice, Judge Claude Frollo.
