A likeable film, based on the classic story by Victor Hugo, although with enough plot changes for it to be unreliable as a guide to the novel. More adult-orientated than the usual Disnay fare. This film is considered by many to be one of the last products of Disney's 1990s rennaisance in the production of animated features, which spawned Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and The Lion King. The film has been widely acclaimed for its visual and artistic merits, and its technical advances in the combination of hand-drawn and computerised animation. It has fared less well in many eyes for its scripting and characterisation, despite the engaging lead character.
