This is definitely a movie you can't really appreciate until your older. (as an addendum: I've never read the original novel, but you can spoil me if you want in comments. Wiki has already ruined my image of several characters ): but I think I'll be erasing that from my soul)

First off, that entire scene when Quasimodo saves Esmerelda? From when

I literally close my eyes (... while rolling them, apparently) or cover my ears during corny parts. WHY ARE WE SO DIFFERENT, Hannah. Though when Esmerelda gave Quasimodo a peck on the cheek (early on in the movie, I think), I went all "aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww."

I used to think that about Phoebus/Esmerelda, too! (the they're-together-cause-they're-so-pretty) (and I still do, a little bit) however, it wouldn't have made sense in the movie with the way all the scenes were laid out. it's really clear that Esmerelda is really interested in Phoebus - even before the movie's halfway done.

CORN IS A MATTER OF PREFERENCE. you are not lame for liking them, just as I am not lame about completely hating horror movies!

SPOILER: Everybody dies.

That's just how Victor Hugo rolls.

(I agree with everything! Except re: the primarily white Disney females. Strong female characters are excellent, yes, and I will never, ever dispute that, but when the default is "white female," something needs to be addressed.)

[satora_chan]

Oh man, Hugo. So... so... spontaneous with your ideas. (HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING NOTES FROM SHAKESPEARE? Hamlet, meet Notre-Dame de Paris. )

(I know, intellectually, that it should be addressed, but for some reason I don't particularly care. I know it's bad! I know I'm just allowing social injustice just prance by! but! but!

does this mean I'm a bad person, memlu? DDDD: )

Ooh. Yeah. I wanted to rewatch this movie but I...somehow completely forgot. I only have vague memories of this movie. I remember the bells ringing. I remember Esmerelda because I had a barbie doll of her. I remember having such a crush on Esmerelda. And the lack of main character getting Esmerelda totally confused me. Do not even speak to me of Disney sequels. x____x;

[satora_chan]

I am in love with the bells; no joke. During some of the scenes in the movie, they start ringing, and it adds such power to those scenes... a;sldkjf

DO NOT SPEAK OF SEQUELS. LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA. (LOVELY FACT: apparently we can forever say good-bye to disney sequels after Little Mermaid III. SO HAPPY)

[kyouten]

...Little Mermaid III? What. What. What?

[satora_chan]

Witness a sneak peek. Oh man, look at that colouring.
