 (The 7th Level) | Quasimodo
(1996)
Animal
Outfit: Pauper's rags / Curse of the Manitou on his back Tagline: "THANCTUARY!!! DARRRRR, THANCTUARY!!!" Plot summary: What Disney did here was take a classic novel that was a political commentary disguised as a fable, stripped most of the darkest themes, added talking gargoyles, and then took a big dump on all of it (but oddly enough, gave it one of, if not THE best soundtrack of any Disney movie made in the past fifteen years.) Quasimodo was born a freak of nature to a band of Gypsies. His parents were killed by Judge Frollo, and Quasi was placed in the care of the church, living in Notre Dame, never to be seen by the eyes of men. That is, until a gypsy comes to town, and teaches him that it's what inside that counts. Incidentally, for you Hugo fans, they all live in the end and Esmarelda marries the daring dashing knight. Only Frollo dies, falling into a pit of fire with his eyes locked on Esmarelda and his hand down his pants, screaming about "MY PRECIOUS!!!" Yeah, way to kill a great downer ending, huh. (more) User Comments: Quasi will never be on the cover of GQ, that's for sure. His face looks like a McGriddle that was left on the griddle too long. And you know, for a guy who lived all his life under huge ringing bells, he sure does sing with a clear, non-deaf speaking voice. Makes sense though. How could he hold Esmarelda over his head if he was too busy signing "SANCTUARY!" to anyone who could see? User Rating:
