That said, Disney's was a fine adaption of the Hunchback of Notre D'âme. Would have been a lot more popular had it come out today with its themes of social justice and decrying of racial discrimination and hatred of people on a superficial level.


Said themes would also lead to the alt-rightists demanding it be boycotted and some stuff about how the movie was totally written to be 100% anti-Trump rather than being an adaptation of an existing story.


If it would stop whiney SJW's, from bringing their delisional fantasys into places that don't they don't belong. It would be worth it.

Frollo and Mother Gothel are definitely the best Disney villains.

People always criticize the animated Hunchback for not being a faithful adaptation, but I thank God for that.
The original stuff is weird and depressing!

I think Scar's a pretty good Disney villain. I mean, he successfully murders his own brother and sends away his infant nephew (thinking he's killed him) -- terrorising him and emotionally guilt-tripping him into staying away until well into adulthood -- before taking over the pride and -- by implication -- marrying his brother's widows, before completely destroying the lands. IIRC, even Claudius in Hamlet wasn't quite that bad.

Even as a participant in French standard secularism that proposal is morally outrageous to me. You can take our city, but you'll never take our aesthetic.
