The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Today, I will talk about a animated-feature of my childhood, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

It's an American animated musical drama-romance film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. The film is based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same name. This movie focuses on Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and who wants to be accepted in society.

The main characters are :


  This movie is very important for me. Indeed, when I was little, I watched it all the time, and often on Mondays with my Dad. I had too the Esmeralda Barbie dolls : 


Then, I saw the musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in 2000. Popular songs from the show, were Belle and Le temps des cathédrales. The cast (in France) was consisted of Helene Segara (Esmeralda), Garou (Quasimodo), Daniel Lavoie (Frollo) and Patrick Fiori (Phoebus).


The Victor Hugo's novel inspired many movies, musicals... because the story is very important. She learns us that not trust appearances. For example, Quasimodo isn't beautiful physically, but he is a very an extraordinary person. This story shows us also that the wickedness can hurt more than the violence.

A word to the wise is enough (à bon entendeur... ?)

Xoxo.

    IT teaches us not to trust appearances (learn = apprendre dans la position de l'apprenant, teach = apprendre dans le sens d'enseigner)
    a very extraordinary person
