Desmond RyanPhiladelphia Inquirer
Whatever its flaws, however, this gorgeously colored and darkly hued Hunchback remains a towering and bold addition to the Disney canon. [21 June 1996, p.03]

The film is a beautiful work of art to look at with some scenes that you just want to pull off the screen and have framed on your wall. Its use of color, character designs, and subtle CGI combine to create one of the best-looking traditionally animated films ever made. show more
