Didi and Betty in Notre Dame, Rugrats in Paris

This reference comes from Rugrats In Paris. In this movie the Rugrats crew go to Paris and admits their normal wacky misadventures the babies have to stop a wedding. The Wedding takes place as Notre Dame de Paris. Didi marvels at being at the grand Parisian edifice while Betty makes remarks that if you see one church you have seen them all and to wake her if Didi should see a hunchback.

Plus the film has a couple of great shots of Notre Dame.

What can I say I’m a sucker for a movie that has elements of French and Japanese culture in it.

I’ve been a fan of  Animaniacs since the begining, but like some many children a lot of the joke went right over my head. I was watching Volume 2 recently and I notice a wonderful little refernce to the 1923 version.

Ok, so the opening has a line that is varied, this line has to end with an “Y” sound and one of these lines is “Where Lon Chaney” and the visual is  Wakko is dressed as Quasimodo and not as Phantom of the Opera which is probably Chaney’s most well-known role. So point for the Hunchback.
