It is even painful to me, a young adult to stomach alot of what is portrayed in the original Hunchback. Let's face it the story of the Hunchback is definately one of the darkest, and the combination of religion,lust,and racism which is major concept in the book, needs to be toned down. Of course there are alot of things in the book that MUST be taken out of the movie in order for the movie to remain children-friendly. On the contrary, I admire Disney for trying to reninvent themselves by attempting this challenge. It didn't follow the Hunchback's novel completely but it doesn't mean that it was horrible. So in saying all of that, why should this one be any different. And though most of us know that Sleeping Beauty's original story didn't include 3 good fairies, nor did Beauty and the Beast feature singing Dishware or Gueston (sp), but we still loved those movies regardless, and that it because they were well done. I dont think I have seen one of their animated features, that was derived from a story that they didn't change the plot around on. Now although I am a huge advocate of Disney it's no mystery that they have turned storylines around on mostly all of their movies. I have been reading all of the negative comments on this movie, and it just baffles me how people can't really see the big picture here (no pun intended) Though Disney has enchanted us in the past with sickly sweet renditions of timeless fairytales in the past, I think that it's a good thing that Disney embark on creating a more dark and looming satire.
