This gown by Renato Balestra from spring 2014, is akin to Disney Esmeralda's costume in terms of its color story and verticality. I also like that it - [The Plot of Roland Petit's Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/02/the-plot-of-roland-petites-notre-dame-de-paris/) - This version of Hugo's novel is very pared down to a very minimal telling of the story. You have the four principal characters: Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo and Phoebus. The ballet doesn't have Gringoire, Clopin, Fleur de Lys, or extra characters. As one can guess having only the love/lust plot-line it follows that trajectory and - [Anti-Hypothetical Casting for Quasimodo; Tommy Wiseau](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/05/anti-hypothetical-casting-quasimodo-tommy-wiseau/) - This idea both horrifies and excites me, so it's perfect. It's like the pope of fools in movie form. So let's break down idea of Tommy Wiseau playing Quasimodo. In Greg Sestero's book, The Disaster Artist, Sestero referenced to Wiseau looking like "the Hunchback of Notre Dame following corrective surgery." So the groundwork - [A look at Hiba Tawaji and Bohemienne](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/03/a-look-at-hiba-tawaji-and-bohemienne/) - I have been watching videos of the most recent cast of Notre Dame de Paris and I noticed something about Hiba Tawaji's portrayal of Esmeralda that was just off.

Indeed this Quasimodo falls into the more sad, devoted thoughtful brand of Quasimodo. There is nothing in this characterization that is morose or hateful to the masses but nothing that worships Notre Dame either. Instead - [Anti-Hypothetical Casting Post for Frollo; John Cena](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/19/anti-hypothetical-casting-post-for-frollo-john-cena/) - Sometimes bad casting isn't about a terrible actor or a celebrity pretending to be an actor, sometimes it just bad casting.

He's been in a few movies but they seem - [Frollo of Roland Petit's Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/23/frollo-of-roland-petits-notre-dame-de-paris/) - Given this version's characterization of Esmeralda and Quasimodo it's not surprising that there is very little to this Frollo outside of what the plot demands. He is a priest who lusts after Esmeralda. He doesn't feel any guilt over feeling lust towards Esmeralda versus his lofty opinion of himself because of his position as a - [Anti-Hypothetical Casting Post for Fleur de Lys; Britney Spears](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/29/anti-hypothetical-casting-post-for-fleur-de-lys-britney-spears/) - This was a suggestion by Roman. I suppose for this suggestion to make sense we are going to have to posit that this casting would have to occur in the early 2000s, like after 2002 with Spears' film debut in Crossroads but before she gave up her dream to be a film actress because Spears had - [Happy Thanksgiving 2018](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/11/22/happy-thanksgiving-2018/) - If you are like me and live in USA you may have to endure football on the TV.

Pending on what version is question Esmeralda is four years younger than Quasimodo in the book. In the Disney version while she may be maternal towards Quasimodo we know she is not because we see Quasimodo's mother die. But who is Quasimodo's mother? In the Disney we see a - [Fan Art Friday 9/14](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2012/09/14/fan-art-friday-914/) - Today's piece is the third piece by Ida Christensen. It's Quasimodo and Phoebus. I love the attention to detail especially in Quasimodo. - [Fan-Art Friday 09/21/12](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2012/09/21/fan-art-friday-092112/) - Today's Fan-art is a bit different, I used the Tudor Scene marker from Azalea Dolls and made a Esmeralda and a Fleur de Lys. I have a bunch of these Hunchback related Paper images so this won't be the last. - [Fan-art 9/28/12](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2012/09/28/fan-art-92812/) - Today's Fan-art is by YurikoSchneide. It's the Court of Miracles which is one my favorite parts in the Disney film. I love the vibrancy and the framing with the noose and the skulls. It's a very fun piece. http://yurikoschneide.deviantart.com/#/d5fq551 - [Fan-Art Friday 10/12/12](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2012/10/12/fan-art-friday-101212/) - Today's Ghoulish Hunchback Halloween Fan-art is by TheLastUnicorn1985. I have no words for how awesome this is. I love the inclusion of Bruno Pelletier as Drucula, that is genius. Plus Hunchback combined with The Nightmare Before Christmas is an instant win for me.

It's Esmeralda representing the element of fire and it's done in an Art Nouveau style.

It's an adorable drawing of Gringoire and Djali. I love that Djali and Gringoire got away to together end and had a happy ending unlike anyone else. http://clayangel.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=24#/d1lg9el - [Hunchback at Italy Pavilion?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2019/01/29/hunchback-at-italy-pavilion/) - I maybe the only person to find this remotely interesting but at EPCOT in Walt Disney World there is a part of the park called The World Showcase, (that's not the interesting part.) It's made up of Pavilions that are themed on a specific country or region. However today were are only going to consider - [Beauty and the Beast Nitpicks](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2019/01/23/beauty-and-the-beast-nitpicks/) - There is a lot of discourse around Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Two elements that get addressed are the Beast's age relative to his curse, I.E was he eleven when he was cursed or an adult and Belle's desire for adventure in the great wide somewhere. First lets consider the Beast's age. Technically both readings - [Disney is Remaking Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2019/01/17/disney-is-remaking-hunchback/) - This is the exact reason I still have Google Alerts. Disney announced today that Hunchback is the next film in their roaster to get a live-action remake. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Here is what is know so far. Josh Gad is produce the film. Just a quick - [Disney Park and Hunchback Part 1; Face Characters](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2019/01/16/disney-park-and-hunchback-part-1-face-characters/) - Here is a meet and greet with Phoebus from 3 years ago at the France pavilion at Epcot. Hunchback characters meet and greets seem to be extremely rare these days so if you see a hunchback character walking around try to see them, if you like that experience. - [Happy New Year 2019](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/31/happy-new-year-2019/) - Happy 2019! I hope it's a better year. - [Conclusion of of Roland Petit’s Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/30/conclusion-of-of-roland-petits-notre-dame-de-paris/) - While I personally do not understand the unique artistry of Petit's choreography, as someone who doesn't understand ballet, I do think that there was a lot of passion and love put into all aspects of this version. In that sense it was a breath of fresh air amongst some of the other versions of hunchback. - [Video Game Soundtracks I like](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/29/video-game-soundtracks-i-like/) - Since I said that Maurice Jarre's score for Roland Petit's Ballet reminded me of video game music I thought why not just share 10 or so Video Game OSTs that I like. This is not best of list or in any order. It also gives me the chance to learn more about wordpress's new editor - [The Sets of Roland Petit’s Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/28/the-sets-of-roland-petits-notre-dame-de-paris/) - The sets of the ballet were designed by French film and theater director René Allio. Like so many of the other past productions of Notre dame de Paris, Allio took the more symbolic representation of the cathedral. You know it's Notre Dame you're looking at but it's not an accurate depiction. It's depicted as brown - [10 Christmas Specials that I like](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/24/10-christmas-specials-that-i-like/) - I just watched the Neo Yokio Christmas special and it was great but then again I really enjoy Neo Yokio.

So because the internet likes list here - [Merry Christmas 2018](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/25/merry-christmas-2018/) - Happy Holidays Merry Christmas! The Esmeralda image was created using the Heroine Creator from Azalea Dolls. For this year I thought I would share something sort of special. A few years I wrote some Christmas Hunchback fanfics that I was vain enough to try and sell, which was a dumb idea. So this year I - [The Costumes of Roland Petit’s Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/12/the-costumes-of-roland-petits-notre-dame-de-paris/) - The costumes of the ballet are just so fascinating. First of there are no tutus in this production everything is very streamline and mod which fits the era. Though It was a little early for the trend of mod but we will get to that. The first area of interest is the use of colors - [Hunch Holiday Shirt](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/05/hunch-holiday-shirt/) - It may not be an ugly christmas sweater but it's still pretty ugly.

Which one of the Laverne's birds are you? Bet you didn't know they had names! Which one of the Gargoyles' Drawings are you? Which Bell of Notre Dame are you? Are you Team Achilles or Team Snowball? Are you a Quasimodo super fan? Which - [Could the Live Action Remake of Lion King be Live?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/12/04/could-the-live-action-remake-of-lion-king-be-live/) - Instead of being mad that this remake seems content to enjoy its false advertising or some how trying to redefine 'what is live action' let's just considered how this movie might incorporate the "live" aspect without anyone knowing so Disney can continues to capitalize on this trend. Disclaimer - This post is meant as joke. - [Disney's Ugly Christmas Sweaters](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/11/29/disneys-ugly-christmas-sweaters/) - Alas there are no Hunchback of Notre Dame ugly Christmas sweater just yet but since this blog has a Disney leaning here are some Disney Ugly Christmas Sweaters that you can get right now via amazon. Also I had wanted to showcase a Notre Dame Fighting Irish sweater just to be funny but I couldn't - [SNL Les Lobsters Skit](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/11/13/snl-les-lobsters-skit/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj-D0jc17D0 I may like Les Mis parodies a little too much. That being said I really love this skit. - [Phoebus of Roland Petit’s Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/11/01/phoebus-of-roland-petits-notre-dame-de-paris/) - Phoebus is an interesting character as he whatever a given version needs him to be. He can be a good guy, bad guy, romantic lead, asshole, just sort of there, or non-existent. In Petit's ballet he is the Captain of the Guard, saves Esmeralda, seduces her, tries to sleep with her, gets stabbed and dies. - [Happy Halloween](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/10/31/happy-halloween/) - Happy Halloween. This was made using Azalea Dolls. Haven't done one these posts in while and tried to go for a "spooky" Vampire Esmeralda. - [Random selection of Hunchback Songs iTunes](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/08/10/random-selection-of-hunchback-songs-itunes/) - Here's a dumb post, what is the chance of me getting a hunchback or hunchback related song (as in a singer who associated with a Hunchback version) to randomy play on itunes when it is on shuffle? I know, super important scientific enquiry! Now I don't really listen to my music on iTunes anymore. I tend - [Who is Esmeralda’s Non-Dinsey Counterpart?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2013/10/09/who-is-esmeraldas-non-dinsey-counterpart/) - For every Disney Heroine, there is a host of Non-Disney animated female characters. From Thumblina, to Princess Yum-Yum to Odette to Chel to Anastasia the list goes on. But of the myriad of Non-Disney Heroines who could be considered Esmeralda's counterpart? It's a tricky question. First off you need someone who has an equivalent - [Adventures in Netflixing Romance Edition; Red Carpet](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/07/adventures-in-netflixing-romance-edition-red-carpet/) - Last February I looked at four romantic period movies, this year I thought I would try something I have been watching to try for a while. I'm going to randomly pick a "romance" movie or TV show and review it. I'm going to this four time so one post a week. The selection is through - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 21](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/05/14/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-21/) - Homecoming This is the penultimate episode, after this episode there is one episode left before it's done, done, done or until there is another reboot maybe. This episode is the ultimate example of the main issue Once has; the creators have good story talent, they are good at coming up with ideas BUT they don't - [What Version should be review next?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/24/what-version-should-be-review-next/) - We're kind of at the bottom of the barrel here my friends. We have gone through all the major and not so major visual versions of Hunchback BUT there are still more versions that I know of and probably more versions that I don't know about. So much for being an expert on Hunchback of - [Once Upon a Time Season 5 Episodes 11 & 12 Review](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/07/06/once-upon-a-time-season-5-episodes-11-12/) - Episode 11: Swan Song Must be fun to be extra playing a Dark One. I swear though one of the Dark One's capes has the same fabric they used with Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens. What is a group of Dark Ones called? A Gaggle? A Constitution? An Unpleasantness ? A Murder? A Darkness? - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 18](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/23/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-18/) - The Guardian Aside from the Henry/Jacinda ongoing tepid romance subplot, this episode was pretty great. Then again it was a Rumple and Tilly heavy episode, so of course it was just better. In the past section Rumple tests Alice to see if she is indeed the guardian. She does pass the test but Rumple stops - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 17](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/18/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-17/) - Chosen This episode explores more of Hansel's backstory and what wrong Zelena did to him and why he is crazy. It also explains how he woke up, it was Facilier. Facilier is like the Palpatine of this season, he's behind it all. Considering Hansel's vendetta, two counts of murder, two attempted murders and two - [Conclusion to the 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/17/conclusion-to-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - If you like the 1977 version, I understand. I get the appeal of it. As of now it is the most book accurate movie version that exists. But being book accurate does not necessarily make for a good movie. Accuracy to the source material can't hide that this version is dull. From the sets, to - [The Costumes in The 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/10/the-costumes-in-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - Disclaimer: I know very little to nothing about Medieval Fashion and even less about the Romani people. Also this post only focuses on Esmeralda and Fleur de Lys' costumes. On first glance Esmeralda's costume in this version sucks. It looks like something a Juliet would wear. It's a pink overdress with a high waistline with - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 16](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/07/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-16/) - Breadcrumbs Things got real in this episode! The Hyperion plot has quite a bit going on. We have Henry getting a job offer to produce a podcast in New York because this podcast company liked his podcast about Hyperion Heights. Now Tangent time. HUH? Henry is a content creator so why would a podcast company - [The sets of The 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/06/the-sets-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - Perhaps it's mean to really be that judgmental towards the sets in this version of Hunchback. After all this is a BBC made for TV two part miniseries from the late 70's, and based just on the look and the fact that they used a painting for exterior shots of Notre Dame, it points to - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episodes 14 & 15](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/04/03/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episodes-14-15/) - Episode 14: The Girl in the Tower Let's get the stupid nitpick of this episode out of the way; The Death Card in a tarot card reading does not mean literal death. Granted the meaning of cards can be fluid but still. Otherwise this was a pretty great episode. Alice/Tilly has been a highlight of - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 13](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/22/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-13/) - Knightfall I like that this episode focuses on Nook. He has been a weirdly explained highlight of the season. While the episode wasn't bad on the whole there was some plot elements that makes you scratch your head. For instance the whole Maui's Hook and Nook and Captain Ahab was odd. Basically Nook wanted to - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 12](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/12/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-12/) - A Taste of the Heights This episode is all over the place. We have the A plot which is involves more food truck shenanigans. Sabine wants to take part in a neighborhood food truck festival, is that a thing that happens? She meets up with an old guy friend from culinary school, Drew, who is - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 11 Secret Garden](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/08/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-11-secret-garden/) - I guess I was off on the episode count, oops. Anyway, Once is back and I didn't notice, oops. While the show was on hiatus it was announced that this is the final season, which isn't really that surprising but it does seem unlikely that Hunchback will ever enter into the narrative. Though the way - [Clopin of the 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/06/clopin-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - There is a Clopin in this version and he is very forgettable. Sure, he does all the things Book Clopin does as the leader of the Court of Miracles but there is nothing intense or charming about him that makes him stand out. He just a guy who shouts all his lines. Maybe this is - [2018 Oscars Red Carpet Gowns](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/05/2018-oscars-red-carpet-gowns/) - Here are some gowns from the 2018 Academy Award Red Carpet that are are vaguely reminiscent of the costumes of Esmeralda and Fleur de Lys. There was a dire of gowns that were like anything that Esmeralda or Fleur de Lys were in any version, so I had to kinda broaden the scope of similar - [Hypothetical Casting for Esmeralda; Jessica Szhor](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/03/01/hypothetical-casting-for-esmeralda-jessica-szhor/) - This suggestion came off a ideas wiki list but that list has since changed but we're still going to go through them. Jessica Szhor is one of those actresses whom I have heard of but I have never actually seen in anything. She is most known for playing Vanessa Abrams on Gossip Girl and - [Adventure in Netflixing Romance Edition: To and From New York](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/28/adventure-in-netflixing-romance-edition-to-and-from-new-york/) - The final random pick is To and From New York. Its runtime of 80 minutes gives me pause but it's at least short. Of all the movies I could have randomly gotten, I got this, a low budget independent movie that is not as bad as The Room but not as enjoyable either. - [Fleur de Lys of the 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/27/fleur-de-lys-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - Fleur de Lys's most interesting function in Hunchback is to act of Esmeralda's foil. If Esmeralda is dreamy and romantic towards Phoebus then Fleur de Lys has knowledge of his tendencies for wantonness. In this version's case the Esmeralda is earthy yet childish. Many people call her "girl" and Phoebus calls her "child." So - [Adventure in Netflixing Romance Edition: Tamanchey](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/21/adventure-in-netflixing-romance-edition-tamanchey/) - The third random pick is Tamanchey. I have many bad feelings about this one. Tamanchey means a pistol, often one built locally with not so high quality materials, so it's the perfect metaphor for this movie's execution. This movie is a load of hot rotten garbage from start to finish. It just took my - [Adventure in Netflixing Romance Edition: A Cinderella Story; Once Upon a Song](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/14/adventure-in-netflixing-romance-edition-a-cinderella-story-once-upon-a-song/) - The second random selection is, A Cinderella Story; Once Upon a Song. Help me. Good news is this movie is mercifully short however I didn't hate it. Granted I set the bar really low at the onset but it's really just a dumb and silly movie with a Cinderella plot thrown in and set in - [Phoebus 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/02/06/phoebus-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - Ultimately, there is not that much to say about this version's treatment of Phoebus. He is book-accurate. He's a soldier and a slut, that's it for his characterization. He makes it clear he's only marrying Fleur de Lys for her money though they are well suited for each our but that could just be the - [Esmeralda-like Fashion 2018 Grammy Awards](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/29/esmeralda-like-fashion-2018-grammy-awards/) - I found two gowns wore at the 2018 Grammy Awards that I would consider to be Esmeralda-ish in style. This Vivienne Westwood gown wore by Camila Cabello is more in keeping with the red costume from the 1956 version. Of course the color but the lines on the gown and deep neckline harken back - [Jehan of The 1977 version of Hunchback of Notre Dame](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/30/jehan-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame/) - Jehan is this version gets a lot of screen time because he actually has a functional role within the narrative. He is a plot exposition machine, if something is in need of explanation he is there to explain it to the viewer. Like how The Pope of Fools is crowned and Quasimodo's deaf judge as - [Gringoire of the 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/22/gringoire-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - In many ways this version of Gringoire is on point with the book. He does pretty all the action in does in the book with the same attitude. He has a high opinion of himself with regards to his work, he does want Esmeralda but backs off when he rebukes with awkward attempt at seduction, - [Zendaya MTV gown](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/18/zendaya-mtv-gown/) - Way back in 2016 I did a post on award season gowns that looked vague Esmeralda-like in style. One gown I mention was this one worn by Zendaya. It looks very similar to the dress that Esmeralda wears on the poster/album cover for the Notre Dame de Paris musical. Anyway, I been - [Hypothetical Casting for Clopin; Mark Hamill](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/11/hypothetical-casting-for-clopin-mark-hamill/) - I'm still on the Star Wars actor casting, maybe next time I'll do an anti-one, like an all Gungun casting, shudders. As far as the different versions take on the role of Clopin they portray him in one of two ways, he's either leader of Gypsies or leader of the beggars and - [Esmeralda from the 1977 version](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/09/esmeralda-from-the-1977-version/) - This version of Esmeralda is baffling. It's neither good or bad. It's super boring though. This Esmeralda hits all the marks of the plot that this version is going for; she is a gypsy dancer who likes her goat and Phoebus and doesn't like Frollo very much. She doesn't fear him like in the book - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Mid Season thoughts](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2018/01/02/once-upon-a-time-season-7-mid-season-thoughts/) - So now that season 7 is on hiatus, I thought it would be a good time to reflect a little on this season. The season has a ton of problems, some are the story itself and other are more on the production level. For instance I can not buy into Jacinda/Ella and Henry's romance and - [Hypothetical Casting for Frollo; Adam Driver](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/12/14/hypothetical-casting-for-frollo-adam-driver/) - Frollo is an interesting character to cast because on the one hand we have the book which tells us that Frollo is 36. But the age of 36 is different in a modern setting than it was in 1482 when the story is set or even in 1831 even the book was written. The book - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 9](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/12/18/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-9-2/) - The Eighth Witch SPOILERS! Well at least this episode explains the Lucy scenes from the season 6 finale, only issue is that it was edited and structured in such a way in the finale to make it seem like the events are way more interesting than they actually are. SO Lucy was born in - [Quasimodo from the 1977 version](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/12/12/quasimodo-from-the-1977-version/) - There are only three ways to make the role of Quasimodo more Oscar baity; Set the story during WW2, make it about actors being great or have Quasimodo eat a raw bison liver or all three! Sure it would be a weird adaptation but you got to hedge your Oscar bets. All kidding aside, Quasimodo - [Once Upon a Time Season 7 Episode 9 Review](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/12/09/once-upon-a-time-season-7-episode-9/) - One Little Tear I think there was someone on reddit a few weeks ago who mentioned this twist, the twist that Victoria was Rapunzel. Anyway, I liked the badstory and the plot development. It does weaken Rapunzel and Druzilla's feud and why was Rapunzel working with Gothel?

No strong feelings towards it. It seemed more like a gap filler, giving us some nuggets of info without giving us too much. The biggest amount of character development comes from Ivy/Drizella.

On the one hand, this is one of the most accurate versions of the characters. He's a priest, he does practice alchemy, he expressives desire for Esmeralda. However one major fault with the character is just in the way the - [Hulu Lies!](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/11/10/hulu-lies/) - The words "Magic" and "favorite" should be nowhere near Hunchback 2 - [The Plot of the 1977 version of Hunchback](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/10/25/the-plot-of-the-1977-version-of-hunchback/) - Like the 1986 burbank version the 1977 follows the plot quite faithfully.

It was made in 1976 and it was based on a book of the same name. From what I can gather it was musical movie not based on a stage show, which was more of the standard back then. These days it's more typical - [Cinderella 2015 Review; The Mice Save the Day](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/11/05/cinderella-2015-review-the-mice-save-the-day/) - I feel like on some level, the 2015 version Cinderella was cast just for me. I mean it had people from Game of Thrones (Richard Madden and Nonso Anozie), Downton Abbey (Lily James and Sophie McShera), The Borgias (Holliday Grainger) and a former Frollo (Derek Jacobi). Plus it has pretty costumes. How could I could - [Hypothetical Casting for Esmeralda; Oona Chaplin](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/08/22/hypothetical-casting-for-esmeralda-oona-chaplin/) - This suggestion is off a list from http://fuckyeahnotredamedeparis.tumblr.com as part of an ideal casting.

Maybe](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/08/01/disney-live-action-hunchback-movie-maybe/) - I get a Google-Alert for Hunchback of Notre Dame. However it sucks. Mostly it just tells me about another regional production of Hunchback, which is great or something on Criaglist. To be honest I mostly ignore the alerts. Last Saturday though I got it in my head to just look on Google News for Hunchback - [Clopin of Notre Dame de Paris; Rules his Court from on High](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/03/17/clopin-of-notre-dame-de-paris-rules-his-court-from-on-high/) - Clopin is a complex character in Notre Dame de Paris. He is both intense and tender. If he differs between the cast versions, it's it most likely that the he is either playing up his intenseness or keeping it to the base level for the character. Like in the Book Clopin runs the the Court - [Phoebus of Notre Dame de Paris; He’s a Tramp but they love him](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/03/10/phoebus-of-notre-dame-de-paris-hes-a-tramp-but-they-love-him/) - I have said this more than a few times but Phoebus is a character that can be molded to fit a few roles in a Hunchback narrative; he can be a the handsome hero, the vain villain or the expendable extra, you know narrative needs. In Notre Dame de Paris is more on the villainous - [Quasimodo of Notre Dame de Paris; Love him Damn it](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/03/03/quasimodo-of-notre-dame-de-paris-love-him-damn-it/) - As is seemingly standard in Notre Dame de Paris, Quasimodo's depiction is one of the best in any adaption of Hunchback, and for the record I'm getting a little tired saying that. Unlike Frollo and Esmeralda, Quasimodo's characterization doesn't differ too much from cast version to cast version. While the role has its complexities and - [Frollo of Notre Dame de Paris; Richly Pathetic](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/02/17/frollo-of-notre-dame-de-paris-richly-pathetic/) - Like Esmeralda, Frollo's personality really come done to which Notre Dame de Paris cast you're watching.

Frollo was originally - [Notre Dame de Paris vs The Novel](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/02/03/notre-dame-de-paris-vs-the-novel/) - Notre Dame de Paris is often praised for being accurate to the novel but there are A LOT of differences.

For the most part the costumes in this version were pretty great. They expressed the characters and were made for dancing but I had issues with one costume. Can you guess which one? It's Esmeralda's. I can - [The Order of the Story in the Ballet](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/05/23/the-order-of-the-story-in-the-ballet/) - The order of how the story plays outs in La Esmeralda is baffling. It's near insulting to the original story. Who in their right mind puts a scene that is Quasimodo's grand introduction halfway through the story? At least that is what I thought at first. Yes, it's an odd choice to have key scenes - [The Rest of the Characters from La Esmeralda Ballet](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/05/16/the-rest-of-the-characters-from-la-esmeralda-ballet/) - I put a lot of thought into the pronouns for the subject line however there isn't much to say on the characters' characterizations, so we're combining them into one post.

Also a few comments on the subject of this video, I agree Djali is the far superior side-kick over the gargoyles. I do wonder if less would have been more with gargoyles. Instead - [Another Ballet Postponement](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/05/09/another-ballet-postponement/) - I'm writing this at 2am and this very much off the cuff.

In all honesty he isn't like his book persona but instead he resembles how Phoebus was adapted in the 1956 French movie. I'm willing to bet that the movie took its cues from the ballet, that - [Hypothetical Casting for Quasimodo; Justin Timberlake](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/04/26/hypothetical-casting-for-quasimodo-justin-timberlake/) - Recently I found this http://ideas.wikia.com/wiki/The_Hunchback_of_Notre_Dame_(Live-action_remake) which I consider a treaure trove of possibalities. For the record this is a hypothetical casting for a hypothetical live action Disney remake of Hunchback, it's not real. So I thought it would be fun to go through these casting picks and see how these actors be in the roles. - [Quad Frollo of La Esmeralda (Ballet)](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/04/25/quad-frollo-of-la-esmeralda-ballet/) - This iteration of Frollo is pretty by the book except for the lack of backstory and alchemy. He doesn't have a brother but since the ballet doesn't go in Frollo's motivates for looking after Quasimodo there is a little point to Jehan as character. Not complaining, never liked Jehan. This Frollo is a priest and - [Hellfire and Star Wars](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/05/03/hellfire-and-star-wars/) - Tomorrow is May 4th (May Fourth be with you) but since Thursdays are an OUAT day, I'm doing a Star Wars post today!

There is zero edge to him and that made him boring. Quasimodo in this version exists solely for the purpose of Esmeralda. He like-likes her, saves her and dies for her. While all that exists in the book Quasimodo doesn't strictly - [Alain Rivière-Lecoeur's Esmeralda & the Hunchback, 2015](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/04/12/alain-riviere-lecoeurs-esmeralda-the-hunchback-2015/) - Periodically I look through Amazon to see what kind of Hunchback stuff is around.

Sure, there IS a characterization being portrayed but it's not deep or as nuanced as something like Enchanted Tales or the Dingo versions, I'm totally kidding. The characters in this ballet have to be simpler than - [The Visual Emotions of Ballet and the Story of Esmeralda](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2017/03/21/the-visual-emotions-of-ballet-and-the-story-of-esmeralda/) - Ballets unlike movie have to convey all the story element through only motions and gestures.

My mind wants to do mental loops to make sense of it but the process isn't worth it. Why did this version not set the story in 1482? Did they REALLY not even look at the book?

In fact this is one of the worse versions of Quasimodo. He's like a weird lesson in total apathy. Quasimodo doesn't do much in this movie and he says much less. Sure, he does all things that Quasimodo does in the course of the story but the execution of - [Hypothetical-Casting for Gringoire; Terrance Zdunich](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/11/16/hypothetical-casting-for-gringoire-terrance-zdunich/) - Let's just say we live in a Fantasy world where they're making a movie version of Notre Dame de Paris and it's a better English translation of the musical.

It's a rather curious medley as it uses an instrumental version of The Bells of Notre Dame, the movie version of God Help the Outcast and the reprise of The Bells of Notre Dame from the stage musical. - [Other Burbank Frollo](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/11/08/other-burbank-frollo/) - Instead of just discussing the way Other Burbank decided to depict the Hunchback characters against the book, we're going to look at them against the 1939 version since this version blatantly ripped off that version. Is that fair? Who cares they brought it on themselves. Just to recap, Frollo in the 1939 version was the - [Pop-Up Hunchback Bool](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/11/02/pop-up-hunchback-bool/) - I spotted this while I was at my local comic book store.

Instead we have El Paris and its by all accounts nameless cathedral. Now is it ultimately important that Notre Dame isn't in the movie? I would say no, it's not. Just because Notre Dame inspired the story it doesn't - [Quasimodo d'el Paris Post Postponed](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/09/06/quasimodo-del-paris-post-postponed/) - Sorry guys, due my own procrastination and being sick there will be no new post on Quasimodo d'el Paris this week but I won't leave you with nothing.

First and foremost they combined her with Fleur de Lys as well as reversing her backstory. Instead of a little French girl named Agnes who grows up with Gypsies and the name Esmeralda, she is instead a Gypsy or in this movie's case a Cuban born Esmeralda - [Hunchback in Ogunquit](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/08/03/hunchback-in-ogunquit/) - If you follow TheHunchblog on Facebook then you might know that last week on July 28th I went to see Ogunquit Playhouse's production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I have a habit of focusing more on the Esmeraldas and the Frollo options that sometimes the minor character don't get that much attention. That's why it's great to be reminded, I want to thank Skylar for the suggestion of Freddie Highmore for Gringoire. So let's talk - [Quasimodo of Quasimodo d'El Paris; He likes everything but Pistachios](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/07/19/quasimodo-of-quasimodo-del-paris-he-likes-everything-but-pistachios/) - We have seen a lot of different characterizations of Quasimodo. Every adaptations changes him to suits their unique needs for their version of the story. He has been morose, sad, naive, a bookworm, a Disney princess and even an emo but Quasimodo d'El gives us a very new take on Quasimodo, unapologetically childish. Quasimodo in this - [Hypothetical Casting for Phoebus; Nikolaj Coster-Waldau](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/06/23/hypothetical-casting-for-phoebus-nikolaj-coster-waldau/) - There is no shortage of actors in the world who could be cast as Phoebus. At his most basic Hugo-ian level, a handsome jerk, is not a hard role but Phoebus does get facets in his personality that versions can and do add in to his characterization. He is sometimes the hero, a reformed rake, - [Quasimodo d'El Paris Plot](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/07/12/quasimodo-del-paris-plot/) - Quasimodo d'El Paris is a hard movie to sell. It's a comedic modern re-telling of a tragic romantic-period book. The styles and tones are in opposition to each other.

In the book Esmeralda is presented as a Romani, and without - [Quasimodo d'El Paris Introduction](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/07/05/quasimodo-del-paris-introduction/) - The winner for the next adaptation to be review was Quasimodo d'El Paris.

There is a lot of good textures and colors that match the spirit of the Disney movie but elevates them to the stage. In particular, I really like Esmeralda's main costume and Phoebus' costume. While I don't they are accurate to the actual historical times they don't really - [Hypothetical Casting for Esmeralda; Francia Raisa](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/25/hypothetical-casting-for-esmeralda-francia-raisa/) - Three years ago I did a post comparing HBO's Game of Thrones and Hunchback , in which I said Arianne Martel resembled Esmeralda in the looks department and I quote myself here "I would say whoever they get to cast her for the show could make a lovely Esmeralda..." However stupid poo show runners cut Arianne from the - [All the Moving Parts; The American Staging Vs Der Glockner](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/06/21/all-the-moving-parts-the-american-staging-vs-der-glockner/) - Last time we talked about the overall set from the American version and in general I liked it.

After looking through - [Postpone Post](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/06/14/postpone-post/) - Due to personal reasons and being quite sick I'm going to have postpone the review for this week.

This post is mainly focusing on the story and characters from mostly the Cast Album Point-of-View. I will not get into any aspect from the technicals of the show itself.

I feel a bit sad that I'm more mixed with siding more on the side of - [Live Action Fairy Tale Disappointments](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/12/live-action-fairy-tale-disappointments/) - This are movies that I was disappointed in and in a few cases just missed the worst list.

All and all, I wasn't excpeting a lot out of this movie and that is pretty much what I took away from it, it was ok to tepid. I didn't dislike it but I can't say I liked it either. The story - [Overall Thoughts of American Disney Hunchback Musical](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/31/overall-thoughts-of-american-disney-hunchback-musical/) - Just for the record, this more on the story/characters and not the technicals of the show, that comes next month. I think it's pretty clear that I'm a little mixed with a leaning towards not liking the show. The Disney plot and the book elements didn't blend together at all.

While the City Sleeps - A bridge song. Maybe it a slight bitterness in my mood, I'm not perfect in some of criticisms but I really do not care for the choir singing near operatics with the nasal singing of the chorus or rather the congregation. That nasal tone is very musical - [Google Translate Presents Out There](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/18/google-translate-presents-out-there/) - I have been wanting to this for a while. I was going to do Hellfire but for some reason Google Translate was being weird so I went with Out There. So this is Out There through Google Translation.

But when is - [Grimm’s Snow White Review; Da Fuck you say?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/12/17/grimms-snow-white-review-da-fuck-you-say/) - Guys, you have no idea how rancid this "movie" is. So Grimm's Snow White is another 2012 Snow White movie which was ONLY made to capitalized on Snow White and the Huntsmen. It was made by The Asylum films who made Sharknado and I hate to this it but Sharknado at least is more entertaining - [The Top Ten Worst Non-Disney Princess Movies](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/03/19/the-top-ten-worst-non-disney-princess-movies/) - The Top Ten Worst Non-Disney Princess Movies (that were reviewed.)

Jim Henson's The Frog Prince is from 1971 and if you can't guess from the title it's a Muppet retelling of The - [The Neverending Story Review; Yes, Moon Child is spelled with eight Os](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/12/10/the-neverending-story-review-yes-moon-child-is-spelled-with-eight-os/) - Ah, the 1980's when it was totally ok to traumatized the child audience with creepy imagery, weird complex meta plots and harsh heart-break. This is where the 1984 movie The Neverending Story comes in. It was based on the first half of a book of the same name by Michael Ende. It was a West - [Oz The Great and Powerful; Shut-up Theodora](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/09/24/oz-the-great-and-powerful-shut-up-theodora/) - Basically one day, some Disney executive smoked a joint and thought "let's have a prequel to The Wizard of Oz" but someone told them there was already a prequel floating around called Wicked. But the executive ignored that story and decided to throw money at pretty obvious prequel story based on the Wizard's origins without - [The Brothers Grimm Review; In French Occupied Germany there was no word for Subtly](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/10/22/the-brothers-grimm-review-in-french-occupied-germany-there-was-no-word-for-subtly/) - Prior to viewing The Brothers Grimm (2005) I more recall the trailer sucking but then I saw that it was written by Terry Gilliam and starred Matt Damon, Health Ledger, Lena Heady and featured Monica Bellucci and I then thought, "Hey, maybe this won't be so bad." Then I watched it. Here is me being - [Into the Woods Review; This movie is allergic to story](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/11/19/into-the-woods-review-this-movie-is-allergic-to-story/) - Here is a conversation I had with this movie right after I wanted it. Me: You can't have your characters sing/say how they feel, that makes me feel angry! Into the Woods: Look, what do you want? Me: I want my two hours back! This is common info but I have to say it anyway, - [Sydney White Review; Being a Dork in this world means you're not mean?](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/14/sydney-white-review-being-a-dork-in-this-world-means-youre-not-mean/) - In the scope of movies, this shit isn't the worst thing ever made by humans but it comes so close. Sydney White is "modern" retelling of Snow White from 2007. It's tries really hard to be funny, clever and delightful that it is unsettling, beyong dumb and painfully unlikable. If you want to know the - [The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale Review; The Plasma Ball tricks Flying Squirrels](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/28/the-swan-princess-a-royal-family-tale-review-the-plasma-ball-tricks-flying-squirrels/) - I have a bit of a litmus test when it comes to these movies. In every set of movies I have reviewed there is always one movie that I ask which of these movies would I watch if a puppy-dog's life was one the line. Those movies are The Sequel to Atlantis and Happy N'Ever - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 7](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/03/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-7-2/) - In a Place of Miracles - Technically this song is not new to this incarnation of the musical. It was originally written for the Disney movie along side As Long as there is a Moon which more or less did the whole wedding thing of Esmeralda and Gringoire but with Phoebus. Both Songs were scrapped - [April 16th 2016 Performance of Bella](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/05/04/april-16th-2016-performance-of-bella/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0D2zMhHr_Es This is a recent performance in Bari of Bella from the Italian Cast of Notre Dame de Paris.

Quasimodo - Giò Di Tonno Frollo - Vittorio Matteucci Febo - Graziano Galatone Esmeralda - Lola Ponce I never really discussed - [In the Company of Wolves Review; Symbolism!](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/03/03/in-the-company-of-wolves-review-symbolism/) - Right away I want to say, In the Company of Wolves is a weird dark movie even by 1980's movie standards, which is saying a lot. It is a deeply symbolic movie with some really creepy and disturbing images. It is based on Little Red Riding hood and was also based on a short story by - [Ondine Review: The Power Sigur Ros is strong](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/21/ondine-review-the-power-sigur-ros-is-strong/) - Ondine is a 2009 modern telling of not so much a fairy-tale but more of the concept of Selkies.

It's a movie that looks at the break down of a young ballerina in her quest to be perfect which is set against a metaphoric and literal retelling of Swan Lake. Let's just say I hate respect this movie. - [Paheli Review; Ghosts are Ticklish](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/02/18/paheli-review-ghosts-are-ticklish/) - Today we have a different fairy tale movie because it's a Bollywood movie.

Awesome! Moving on though. In the glorious year of 2012 the world was treated to not one BUT two Snow White movies. One was an epic sort of action movie that feautured Snow White leading an army and having "fairest blood," whatever the fuck that is. The other was - [Red Riding Hood Review: That Red Cloak does all the work](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/09/17/red-riding-hood-review-that-red-cloak-does-all-the-work/) - Let's not mince any words or waste any time, This movie sucks. Red Riding Hood (2011) tries to take an already dark story and tries to make it more dark and add a Twilight-esque love triangle and hey it was directed Catherine Hardwicke to boot (Twilight director). So why was it bad? In undisclosed medieval - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 6](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/19/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-6/) - One Song this week! Esmeralda - Before I start, can I just say that watching the La Jolla performance of this song was bat-shit stupid. It was dumb to have Frollo stab Phoebus, then blames Esmeralda for it and yet he just condemned Phoebus to die and Esmeralda is already wanted. It like what the - [Frollo goes Spooky](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/27/frollo-goes-spooky/) - I got this idea from http://www.thelovecraftsman.com. Where they replaced all the adjectives with the word Spooky. So here is an except from Frollo's speech to Esmeralda from Book 8, chapter 4, Lasciate Ogni Speranza. And because it's still pretty long there is a spoiler tag. Also since Hugo is heavy on the adjectives Spooky is sometimes - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 7](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/26/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-7/) - Second Act and we're back to three songs. Entr'acte - There isn't much to say on this on a contextual level as it just a the choir singing a melody of the songs as while as music in latin. That being said, it's gorgeous.

Arden performs it very well and is a better singer that Hulce in the movie. Though I would say, at least in the cast album, it seems like Arden is fighting the impulse to sing in that broadway nasal style, which - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 4](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/05/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-4/) - One thing before I start the songs, I will discuss the La Jolla performance a little when I'm done with the album because the scene prior to this was so much of a combo of the 1939 version and the Disney version plus the scene after Top of the World is such a massive change - [Hooked on a Hunchback Reference](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/04/13/hooked-on-a-hunchback-reference/) - It's another Hunchback of Notre Dame reference from Animaniacs.

It is also the reason why Madison is a popular girl name. Splash again was one those movies that I had heard of but didn't know anything about and I wished it had stayed that way. - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 3](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/03/29/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-3/) - Topsy Turvy Part 2 - And Now Part 2 of Topsy Turvy.

Also at this point I haven't heard the whole album in its entirety. Olim - Olim - [Songs of Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Review; Part 2](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/03/22/songs-of-hunchback-of-notre-dame-musical-review-part-2/) - Topsy Turvy Part 1- Topsy Turvy is broken up into two parts to allow two songs to happen as a mean to introduce Phoebus and Esmeralda.

Compared to the Enchanted Tales version, the character design in this version is marginally more preferable. - [The King and I Review - With Dragons and Monkey Antics](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2014/11/20/the-king-and-i-review-with-dragons-and-monkey-antics/) - Sometimes a movie comes along and it makes you just ask yourself why?

He wants simply everything, who can't relate to that? I really enjoy this song. It's so hammy and over-the-top that is just an utter delight. I think the voice actor/singer is REALLY - [The Secret of the Hunchback Song 1; Something More than this](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/26/the-secret-of-the-hunchback-song-1-something-more-than-this/) - Ok, let's be real, on the spectrum of songs that could be in a Hunchback movie there is one end that is Disney and Notre Dame de Paris i.e good songs and then there are the songs on the level of the rapping dog from Titanic The legend goes on or what that shit was - [Hellfire in Korean](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/02/03/hellfire-in-korean/) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyBr0W5BJg - [The Secret of the Hunchback Character Summary](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/19/the-secret-of-the-hunchback-character-summary/) - Like as the case with MOST version of Hunchback aimed at kids the characters are overly-simplictic water down versions of the book characters mixed with touched of Disney.

None of the - [The Phantom of the Opera, the Argento Version](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/25/the-phantom-of-the-opera-the-argento-version/) - One thing I will say about the 2004 version is that it is not the worst version of The Phantom of the Opera. This isn't even an opinion because I can guarantee that if you ask anyone they will say the 1998 Italian Horror version directed by Dario Argento is the worse movie version. This - [The Phantom of the Opera 2004 Musical](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2016/01/18/the-phantom-of-the-opera-2004-musical/) - It's a little unfair to discuss this movie against the book as it's a movie version of the famous musical version of the book. It's one degree off from anything related to the book, so instead let's just discuss the movie for what it is, a lovely little mess.

I think he's like if Gaston and Jafar a la Disney had a love child and dumped him in a stupid Knock-off discount version of Paris. I mean his face is Jafar, - [Notre Dame de Paris; Style](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/09/15/notre-dame-de-paris-style/) - We have been discussing Notre Dame de Paris' style for awhile, not just in the look of the show but in the music too.

It's far from worse movie ever made but it is so steeped in cliched cliches that is just so dull. The story follows Jane (Katherine Heigl), a - [Legend Review; I swear you can hear Navi’s “Hey Listen” at one point.](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/05/28/legend-review-i-swear-you-can-hear-navis-hey-listen-at-one-point/) - When I got it in my head to these Live-action Fairy tale-like movies, I ended using IMDB lists to get movie ideas. Many movies I had never heard or knew anything about and Legend, a film by Ridley Scott and released in 1985, was one movie that I had never even remotely heard of before. - [Ladyhawke Review; The hawk and the wolf were the best actors](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/04/30/ladyhawke-review-the-hawk-and-the-wolf-were-the-best-actors/) - My first experience with this movie is an episode of The Critic by the same name.

The things that are good about The Snow Queen are really good and things that really - [Three Wishes for Cinderella; The Power of Nuts](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/05/14/three-wishes-for-cinderella-the-power-of-nuts/) - Today's movie, Three Wishes for Cinderella, is interesting.

His real name is Lotney Fratelli and he is the middle child of the - [Horrible Hunchbacks and other Deformed Dudes; Ephialtes of Trachis from 300](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/10/12/horrible-hunchbacks-and-other-deformed-dudes-ephialtes-of-trachis-from-300/) - 300 is a dick-flick based on graphic novels.

It feels like a lot different ideas merged in one somewhat hastily thought narrative. Considering it was based on a rather strange book, I'm blaming screenwriters too much. It was released in the U.K. in 1992 and in the States in 1994. It - [Notre Dame de Paris; Conclusion](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/09/29/notre-dame-de-paris-conclusion/) - Despite its flaws Notre Dame de Paris is the one of the best adaptions of the novel.

Nothing about this movie stands out in way that is appealing. It is one of the most tepid movies I have ever seen. It's so bland and that is slightly amazing. Typically movies have something about that makes them standout even if its negative point but this is so under-whemling, - [Songs of Notre Dame de Paris Part 15](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/08/18/songs-of-notre-dame-de-paris-part-15/) - L'Attaque de Notre-Dame (Attack of Notre Dame) This songs just hits like a ton of bricks after Vivre.

Danse mon Esmeralda is the show tear-jerking finale. I challenge you not - [Songs of Notre Dame de Paris Part 14](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/08/11/songs-of-notre-dame-de-paris-part-14/) - Dieu que le monde est injustice (God made the world unfair) Dieu que le monde est injuste is heartbreaking.

This Frollo - [1986 Quasimodo - The Sweetest Quasi Ever](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2014/09/23/1986-quasimodo-the-sweetest-quasi-ever/) - The 1986 version of the Hunchback of Notre Dame of Quasimodo is, umm, well, there?

Despite following the major - [Mini Look Back of Hunchback versions that were reviewed in 2014](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2014/12/30/mini-look-back-of-hunchback-versions-that-were-reviewed-in-2014/) - Since this is the very last Tuesday of 2014, I thought I would do a mini look back and see what version was the best and which was the worst.

Starting with the song, Hunchback versions can give you a few options. I wouldn't recommend dancing to Hellfire UNLESS it has special significance to you as a couple. - [The Wedding in Notre Dame de Paris](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/06/29/the-wedding-in-notre-dame-de-paris/) - Notre Dame de Paris is often praised for being one of the more accurate version of Hunchback and while it is the wedding scene is REALLY rush to the point that it's hardly there.

It has of course Gringoire and Esmeralda's wedding and Fleur de - [You’re Invited to the Wedding of Quasimodo and Esmeralda](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/06/15/youre-invited-to-the-wedding-of-quasimodo-and-esmeralda/) - This wedding or rather marriage is both symbolic and quite literal. After Esmeralda is executed and placed in a crypt, Quasimodo seeks in, lays down besides her, embraces her and dies next to her. So no actual fancy wedding takes place but the union is very clear and by god is it bittersweet. Unlike the - [Fleur de Lys Inspired Wedding Gown](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/06/17/fleur-de-lys-inspired-wedding-gown/) - The other lady in Hunchback is Fleur de Lys.

Fortunately, no he does not. Gwynplaine comes to the conclusion that he would rather have Dea and his own life back. So he tries to leave the - [The Man who Laughs Part II: Book 6: Chapters 1-5](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/07/06/the-man-who-laughs-part-ii-book-6-chapters-1-5/) - The Man who Laughs Part II: Book 6: Ursus Under Different Aspects Barky is a jerk, this is known earlier but MY GOD.

It is sort of like the 1939 movie but only at its most basic core. Gringoire wanders into the Court of Miracles, he's almost hanged, Esmeralda saves him and they are married. - [You’re Invited to the Wedding of Esmeralda and Gringoire](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/06/01/youre-invited-to-the-wedding-of-esmeralda-and-gringoire/) - Let's kick off this month of wedding stuff by discussing the only actually wedding in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, the wedding of Esmeralda and Gringoire.

At the end Hugo tells us of all the tragic endings the characters have even if they lived to the ending. For our old pal Gringoire he writes tragedies, clever. - [Hunchback of Notre Dame Wedding Ideas; Part 1 Colors](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2015/06/03/hunchback-of-notre-dame-wedding-ideas-part-1-colors/) - Congrats, you're getting married and have decided that you don't want to be content being any old Hunchback fan.

I get that it's lyrical but I would buy that Phoebus would wonder why his shadow was a better dresser that him. Also Frollo's pose is kind of funny - [Esmeralda's Green Costume Defense](https://www.thehunchblog.com/2012/04/02/esmeraldas-green-costume-defense/) - I was reading on http://notredamedeparisfans.tumblr.com/ that tumbler user express a dislike for Esmeralda's green dress from Notre Dame de Paris.
