Walt Disney Pictures' The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) Teaser Trailer

Trailer for the 1996 musical drama based on the 1831 novel by Victor Hugo.

Plot: A physically disabled shut in seeks for a life accepted within the community

This film was another animated epic but is reminiscent of the more experimental animated features Walt Disney attempted to make with Fantasia and the unproduced Hiawatha. The film was released during the height of a national Disney boycott by several Christian denominations over some of the unbiblical agenda that the company was pushing via policies, films, and theme parks. Though written out of history, it's interesting to compare the box office income with this film to its predecessors and ask how could it have not played a role.
