It still holds up as one of Disney's most daringly artistic animated films, and surprisingly the Animated Storybook follows suit.
Kids do like them and I don't think they're a wholly terrible idea for a Disney adaptation, I just wish they were less inspired by Aladdin's ADHD Genie. They don't seem to fit too well, often jarring the audience from the previous thought provoking scenes.
These gargoyles would be the low point of the film that is otherwise an intelligent, absorbing and hugely emotional re-telling for a younger audience. It was reworked to give it a happy ending - both Esmeralda and Quasimodo now live - as well as introducing some comedic relief in the form of animated stone gargoyles. It is based on a dark gothic story by French author Victor Hugo - the type of downbeat story not usually associated with the bright and happy Disney. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is something of an oddity within the Disney's animated films.
