Wow, that is absolutely disgusting. I wondered what could possibly be worse than Disney's Hunchback 2 and this was it. I'm autistic and while yes, that's different from being physically disabled like Quasimodo, watching the Disney film as a kid, I identified with his worry of how other people perceive him and his need for self-worth. Like you say, this is despicable and hateful.
Jesse himself/themself is non-binary and has ADHD.
Good Lord, I wasn’t expecting the third act to pull a character betrayal of THAT kind of a level. God bless you for sitting through this for us
Not only is Quasimodo one of culture’s most prominent disabled characters, but Esmeralda is one of its most prominent Rromani characters.
In this movie, she’s basically stripped of all cultural identity right down to her name and is made into this…nothing…of a Generic Peasant Girl character.
Not to mention just straight up made white.
@@CodedLockFilms And remember how “Bells of Notre Dame” told an entire story as a piece of anti-Frollo satirical puppet theatre in the Disney version? And it was awesome?
What does this movie’s “Welcome to Paris” song tell the audience about the Plot, Themes, and Characters of this movie? How does this film visually convey how Jean Claude is a tyrant who robs the people of their spirit?
@@CodedLockFilms If you don’t mind me saying this, I would like it if no one puts an adaptation that stuck with the source material as a Disney knockoff, unless they do what Disney does by removing key important elements that were from the book, and replace it with “no one dies at the end” or that they have no lessons to learn from the experience. This is one of those examples where they deviated heavily from the source material, much like Disney did with their first Jungle Book movie.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Esmeralda actually isn’t a prominent Romani character because canonically, she’s not actually Romani. In the book, there’s a sub-plot involving Esmeralda trying to find her biological mother. Her only hint as to who her mother might be is a little pink shoe that she wore as a baby. Later, she finds out that one of the nuns of Notre Dame has the other shoe and is therefore her mother. Turns out that Esmeralda was actually stolen from her mother by the Romani folk and then replaced by Quasimodo.
Yeah, the book had some pretty racist undertones.
@CodedLockFilms technically esmeralda was white bc in the books she was kidnapped and didn't find out till later. But I doubt goldenfilms actually researched the og book
I agree Jess , That message/ending is absolutely vile and sickening!😡😤
As somebody who has a disability aka autism, that is disgusting!
Wow. I wasn't expecting you to hate this movie that much but based on what I've seen, I agree with you. That message that this movie provides is terrible to send to any audience. Good job, Jesse!
Heinz Doofinshmertz's running gag of him slouching in Phineas & Ferb is a better empowering message of having a physical disability than THIS! I think that trip to Hawaii is looking better since its a GOOD franchise with a lot to talk about both good and bad.
This is probably the WORST adaptation of Hunchback I've ever seen. The twist with Quasimodo was downright insulting, and I HATED the renaming of our leading lady. Her name is ESMERALDA, not Melody! I mean, what? Did the writers think that kids can't say Esmeralda?
Didn't Phelous call her Esmer-melody?
@@gingergoddess8953 no. They simply called her Melody, because the writers didn't care about children's intelligence.
I'll be honest i never saw this one. Mostly because everytime it played I'd always fall asleep to it. My auntie even said when i was a young she'd always play this to put me to bed during naptime which was news to me. And yet, this movie still , just hearing some of the audio, actively made be tired.
Great vid man, sorry u had to get shocked just to entertain us. Be here for years and i still look forward to your stuff
It's funny what sticks with us from childhood, isn't it?
Its like your brain tried to protect you from it!
That part when they made Quasimodo normal and handsome was a huge slap in the face to the story
Quasimodo turns handsome in the end:
Esmeralda: LOOKS DONT MATTER AWOOGA 😩
Oooh the nostalgia, I used to have this one on VHS and even as a kid I didn't like it. But as an adult it's even worse. Worst part was it was soooo badly dubbed in dutch, but not the songs, so as a kid I couldn't understand one word of it 😨😨
Hope you do more of these, good to see you're doing better 🥰🥰
I honestly don’t know what’s worse. The fact that Quasimodo becomes handsome at the end, or the fact that this isn’t even the only version where that happens.
What!? There's OTHER adaptations that do that!?
@@thomashuffman3237 Mondo TV’s _Quasimodo_ does it. Though at the very least, that version is a lot more blatant in ripping off _Beauty And The Beast_ with a more dramatic transformation.
He doesn’t just brush his hair aside and stand up straight like he does in the Golden Films one.
@@superfanmusicmaker smh. Either or, like Jesse said, both cases give ableist messages. And, being autistic, myself, I'm offended by that.
happy to see you doing more reviews, hope to see more from the disney rip off collection.
or whatever you feel like looking at.
Take care Jesse!
lord knows the rest of Goldenfilms line up will be a challenge to review
Your videos brighten my day bro. Thanks so much for what you do 😊 This is great to eat my breakfast too.
This movie is the worst kind of adaptation: The kind that not only gets literally everything wrong about the source material, but comes off looking like it absolutely loathes said source material and everyone who knows and loves it. And the fact that it also practically said “Fuck the disabled to Hell” by making the titular character not even remotely a thing like his inspiration really makes it a whole lot worse than if it would’ve been otherwise.
Damn, that was rough! Good on you for tearing it apart in the end.
I also noticed that this seemed to rip-off more from _Beauty and the Beast_ than from _Hunchback._
I honestly don’t know which ending is worse, Quasi ending up being an angel or Quasi being “healed” of his Hunchbackness.
To all the people who hate on the ending of the Disney version, at least it’s a good moral. Learning that you don’t need to change or that you’re a “monster” for having a disability is a beautiful message, I honestly prefer it to the actual book.
This adaptation (if you can call it that) is honestly so disrespectful in basically every way, to the original author to the book, to disabled people, to everyone
Quasimodo being an angel is at least hilarious. This is infinitely worse.
@@CodedLockFilms True and his appearance didn't change (you know except the wings)
Phelous has done it, SaberSpark has done it, and now you.
Waking up to this was definitely such a treat! This one looks horrifyingly bad, so I’m impressed you were able to put it into words at all.
Also, yes, Entropy does have Big Dick Energy.
"Horrifying" doesn't even cover it...
BTW, I really dig Entropy's new suit! It looks like he's wearing body armor!
Thanks!
When I was at school, I remember seeing a show they put on of the hunchback where at the end they gave quasi a handsome potion. It wasn't until years later I realised how awful that was.
Was that made up by young kids who didn't know any better? If not..... that's just sad.
Great to see you again, Jesse! Hope you are doing better
During the beginning I was wondering which ripoff of hunchback it would be(trust me there are a lot) and when you said Goldenfilms I said "oh God its this one" this one is truly the worst of them, others were bad, but they were bad to the point of being funny, but this one was so bad that it pisses me off. It really is migraine inducing.
@jbiehlable yes even worse than that one.
@jbiehlable indeed such a shame
The word to describe every inch of every frame of this movie is….
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@jbiehlable Well, at least that one was cheesy on semi-enjoyable levels, it was TEN TIMES more faithful to the book, and didn’t have an ableist ending. Oh, and in that version, they kept Esmeralda’s original name.
@jbiehlable hey, don’t feel bad. She’s the second hottest version of Esmeralda. Speaking of which, that was the one of thing that enraged me the most about the Golden Films version of Hunchback (besides the ending), renaming Esmeralda. I’m like “THE NAME IS ESMERALDA, NOT MELODY!!” I mean seriously! The writers think that kids can say “Quasimodo”, but somehow can’t say “Esmeralda”? That’s insulting to children’s intelligence.
Is this the Hunchback? or a knockoff Beauty and the Beast? I think I seen someone else reviewed this, and rip it a new one. Lol That transformation of him being quote handsome again was stupidly offensive. 😅 I remembered that part from the review. He flipped his shit how bad it was. 🤣
ive watched enough hilarious mock reviews of this movie but yours give a new and serious perspective on the ending being problematic that i didnt even think of. for that alone, ill subscribe to youe channel.
Yay, another review. I'm sorry this one was so painful and yes it is even less than worthless. I know/think you're done with the Hunchback section, but a better movie for a "rip off" I think is the Jetlag version. It sticks closer to the book while also being kid friendly (though they still use the slur). That's just a suggestion and I look forward to your next review :).
Yeah, I think I've put the Hunchback to bed as best as I can for sure. I know there's tons of different adaptations of it, but these are the ones I wanted to do and I'm satisfied.
Fantastic commentary on disability/cure-all-culture at the end!
Thanks!
Oh Christ, this one. I knew you'd hate this one. Not only is it mind-numbing, but it had to be offensive on top of that. At least the other ripoff was kind of hilarious in its badness. This just shouldn't exist. Plain and simple.
Somehow, your reviews reflect those of early Nostalgia Critic and I like that. You got some skits implemented in them, but you don't overdo it like in current Nostalgia Critic vids and you actually have some interesting things to say about the movies you talk about. Keep it up. ^_^
I haven't watched the Nostalgia Critic in years because I consider his approach to reviewing to be pretty much the antithesis of good faith criticism, and overall I find him very toxic. I try to have interesting things to say and to have my content have actual academic rigor and value whilst still being entertaining, and I hope it comes through in the final product.
I’m so happy to see you again
Your rant that starts at 14:58 and ends at 15:25 was SO GOOD. The people who wrote this "movie" (if you can even call it that) are just as bad as Frollo!!!
Don't you hate it when your evil plan is thwarted because a bell doesn't ring on schedule?
Oh hey! What a pleasant surprise to see you again in my recommended after... What, 10 years? You weren't posting for a long time at some point and I thought the channel was dead! LOVE the salt-and-pepper look, that's simultaneously badass and very fluffy... like a teddy lumberjack. Noice.
I just wanted to let you know here that while the g-slur disclaimer is well-meaning and I'm sure very much appreciated, it's kind of pointless to say that you won't say a slur while showing the slur visually. I'm sure that you were just concerned that most people wouldn't understand what you were referring to if you had just said something like "the G slur", since that slur is still widely normalized (in large part due to the original Disney film aimed at children lol.) But imagine if you showed the uncensored, hard-R, n-word on screen in that same way! Within the first 5 seconds, no less! That would still be jarring even if you openly referred to it as a slur, no? Especially with youtube mobile showing small soundless video previews, which is how I was introduced lol.
My recommendation is to hyphenate missing letters so people can make an educated guess in the future, like g-psy or g--sy. Or, you could provide a little context to point people to what you're referring to, i.e.: "If you're as familiar with Hunchback media as me, you probably already know that most characters in these adaptations refer to Esmerelda and her community as a certain word starting with 'g'. That word is a racial slur targeting Romani, so I have no interest in it, check out my other video for more info."
Anyways, seeing you in my recommended made me nostalgic, so excuse me while I catch up on whatever I've missed. Good to have your content in my life again!
I also think the golden film Tarzan was a ripoff too.
I may be missing some context (because I'll be damned if I'm hunting this movie down to confirm), but from what you showed, it kinda sounds like the movie isn't just magically curing Quasimodo's disability at the end, but implying that it was never actually real, and it was all in his head, which is just... so gross.
It's honestly not clear which way they're trying to go, and either way, it's awful.
Um I’d like to point out the meaning of that word where I live is traveller and refers to anyone who lives in a mobile caravan😅 not everyone is aware of the um meaning mentioned here😅
@Codedlockfilms Will you cover Disney's Live Action films ? Especially with Maleficent?
This version is even worse than the Dingo one. At least that version wasn't an active insult to the original story.
Great video, Jesse!
Thank you!
4:09 ooh a robotic hand, like what happened in my dream
Hope to see more Goodtime Disney rip off reviews !! Hope everything is well for you Jesse !
Ahhh bloopers, what a fun time 😁 Also if there's one word to describe that movie.... it's *yikes* 😬
i love your show but i have to say, i think the theme song needs an update!
Maleficent: Places a curse on the Crown Princess in order to show how she can completely destroy a kingdom that dares to defy her. Need I remind you that Aurora was literally Stefan’s only child and heir?
Grimhilde: Wants to eliminate Snow White because Snow White being fairer than her means that the Queen is no longer the most powerful member of the Royal Family (both due to bullshit Medieval German conceptions of Cis womanhood and also because the Queen was presumably a regent during Snow White’s minority).
Lord Sheriff Frollo: Only wants money for World Conquest, so some heads are bound to break.
Fire Lord Ozai: Wanted to rule the Four Nations because he saw it as his Nation’s destiny.
Euron Greyjoy: Bitter proto-Objectivist who wants to bind both Ice and Fire to his power.
Lucifer: Saw himself as above Humanity and sought to break Adam and Eve in order to ruin God’s plan for creation.
Lord Regent Metatron: Was a power-hungry warlord even before he became ruler of the Kingdom of Heaven and Overlord of the Magisterium.
Luke Castellan: Felt betrayed by the Olympians and turned to Kronos in order to bring them down.
Captain Jean-Claude: ???????????????????????
Slight Tangent, by the way. Can anyone guess from what media all of these villains come?
What’s that disgusting message it’s almost as if it was written by Frolo!
I don't GET why they changed her name...it's not like Disney has any rights to it...they've only adapted an already existed book and they didn't obtain the rights to the book and it's story itself...nor any of it's characters. the thing is, and I believe already WAS in the public domain at the time. I mean some translations obviously weren't, but the book itself was. the only reason I see, is the one Phelous provided, and that being...for a joke/pun to connect her to the damn musical instruments and her power to make everything alive and dance.
You should redo your intro with your magnificent salt-and-pepper look.
It's been on my to-do list for a while, yeah.
Holy shit this is an atrocious film
Did the guys who made it want to make the beauty and the beast or something instead? I’m speechless at how bad it is
So remember kids, if you do a good deed you will be cured of your disability. 🙄
I can't quite put my finger on it, but isn't the can-can anachronistic to Hunckback's era?
No idea.
@@CodedLockFilms HOND book takes place in 1482.
La Galop Infernal debuted in 1858.
This version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame is soulless and that ending is the cherry on top of the dumpster fire sundae.
Well put.
@@CodedLockFilms Thing is, I’m not sure this thing is a Dumpster Fire. It’s more like a Dumpster Inferno. All Twelve Circles of a Dumpster Inferno.
@@johnvinals7423 Something like a Dumpster Inferno is easily for me to this Titanic Animated Films with the Giant Octopus.
You should do Golden Films’ Beauty and the Beast.
But mostly you can see it if you are talking about gypsy rose
Great
This movie is so disrespectfully awful that it might as well have been produced by Leo Bloom and Max Bialystock to purposelly animate a flop for a tax writeoff!
Well, I enjoyed this (not the movie) *thumbs-up*
…Did your neurotransmitter break at some point near the end of this review?
This is the worst version of the hunchback I've seen. I thought the Hunchback of note dame 2 was the worst.
Wait since when was the word "Gypsy" considered a slur? Or was it always a slur? I'm not kidding I'm genuinely confused.
It has always been a slur. It just became so prominent that a lot of people never knew of its origins.
@@CodedLockFilms I see. Makes me wonder if the Disney Plus version of Hunchback still uses the word, or if they censored it.
15:44: So it’s worse than “Epic Movie”.
Oh, by far.
Deep down, I think that at the very least, Seltzer and Friedberg don’t have any pretentions. They know their “__ Movies” are just there to leech a few spare dollars from “a contingent of Americans who watch movies based solely on the commercials. People who wait until they’re actually in line at the theater before deciding what to see. This contingent is generally known as “teenage boys”, and as long as the trailer promises them exactly what they want-hot women and fart jokes-a movie can easily make a profit before anyone realizes it’s horrible”, to quote Jordon Davis of The Agony Booth. That is the full beginning and end of their artistic ambitions.
Now Golden Films, on the other hand, think their Bare Minimum Writing is brilliant. They are convinced that their random uses of Inappropriate Classical Music enhances and adds “depth” to the “stories” that they “write”. You just know that at least one of the writers was convinced that the sub-Hugo the Goat Kisser level Laughing Bats were hysterical. And at least one of the writers thought that the…ending…was just so extremely powerful and uplifting and profound. Mayhaps they were even convinced that the “It’s life! Wheel of life! Wheel of life!” song that comes in between the cure scene and Jean-Claude being banished from Paris was Circle of Life levels of amazing.
do pinchino rip offs
Hi you’re cute, but this movie was not 😂
Thanks honey ❤️
@@CodedLockFilms I want to burn this movie as a ritual sacrifice
You have my permission to incinerate the disk.
This movie sucks!
