I've always enjoyed Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame'. I love the atmosphere of the film, how fairly dark it is in parts and how lovely the animation looks. There are also many characters to enjoy, from Quasimodo to Esmeralda to Frollo to Phoebus to Clopin. The striking score is truly excellent too. As for the voice cast, all of those who speak for the aforementioned bring them to life splendidly. Tom Hulce does well in the lead role, while Demi Moore is very good in the role alongside Hulce. Tony Jay is menacing as the antagonist. Credit to Kevin Kline and Paul Kandel too, as well as the three who voice the gargoyles of Victor, Hugo, and Laverne. All the songs are solid if not massively memorable, with the obvious exception of "The Bells of Notre Dame". It's Alan Menken's score that brings things to life dramatically, as it suits every scene - particularly the opener, which makes for enthralling viewing. This is a very good production from 1996.
This is what you might call a "free" adaptation of Victor Hugo's early 19th century tale of 15th Century French evil, bigotry, fear and love. "Quasimodo" is a young gypsy baby seized in Paris by the evil Justice Minister "Frollo". After the timely intervention of the Archdeacon, he is put in the care of the church at the imposing Notre Dame cathedral and grows into manhood - largely ridiculed for his hunchback appearance - charged with ringing the bells. During the annual Festival of Fools, "Quasimodo" takes part, wins and is crowned - much to the annoyance of the Minister who has him flogged. This is where the charming and mysterious "Esmerelda" comes to his rescue and to avoid the pursing "Capt. Phoebus" seeks sanctuary in the church. "Frollo" is besotted with the young girl and mobilises every resource at his disposal to capture her for himself. "Phoebus" is also smitten, and as soon as he realises his boss is a nasty piece of work tries to help her too - leading to a tiny bit of a love rivalry between the soldier and her protector. The film is fun, the animation well crafted and the script is clever and witty. The songs are way too slushy, however - and there are too many unnecessary characters (i.e. the Gargoyles) but it builds well to an exciting denouement with good vocal stuff from Tom Hulce ("Quasimodo"); Demi Moore ("Esmeralda"); Tony Jay ("Frollo") and Kevin Kline ("Phoebus"). Not the best, but still an engaging story of temptation and lust!

In addition, Max's old partners in crime have another job for him.

Beth had always preferred his brother and is having difficulty being supportive to Conrad. Calvin is trapped between the two trying to hold the family together.
A child is born. We see underwater swimmers representing this. He is young, in a jungle setting, with two fanciful "instincts" guiding him as swooping bird-like acrobats initially menace, then delight. As an adolescent, he enters a desert, where a man spins a large cube of metal tubing. He leaves his instinct-guides behind, and enters a garden where two statues dance in a pond. As he watches their sensual acrobatics of love, he becomes a man. He is offered wealth (represented by a golden hat) by a devil figure. In a richly decorated room, a scruffy troupe of a dozen acrobats and a little girl reawaken the old man's youthful nature and love.
Two pairs of Mormon missionaries from America live in a beaten-up apartment in the Dutch city of Haarlem. Their personalities are distinctly different. Elder Johnson is the District Leader and oversees their efforts. His companion, the vain Elder Van Pelt, seeks to become the assistant to the mission president (the top post available) as soon as possible. The capable Elder Rogers has become disillusioned and inattentive to his duties ever since a previous missionary companion returned to America and married Elder Roger's girlfriend. The three meet Elder Roger's new companion, Elder Calhoun, in the train station. This new elder is a nerdy but enthusiastic "greenie" that has just arrived from the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Utah. Unfortunately, his training did not give him much fluency in the Dutch language. But as luck would have it, the first person he approaches to proselytize is a fellow American named Kyle.
