Why The Hunchback of Notre Dame scores this way
A disfigured bell-ringer hidden in a Paris cathedral longs for acceptance while a cruel judge persecutes the city's outcasts. The animation is grand and the music soaring, but the themes of prejudice, lust, and damnation, plus frightening fire and mob scenes, make it the studio's darkest family film and best for older children.
