A gem that has several very visible flaws; yet‚ with these flaws‚ "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" shines as the best from the Disney factory yet.

Albert Lawrence T. Villanueva LS310 Claude Frollo uses the example of the spider and the fly to characterize the inevitability of his passion for Esmeralda and the certainty that it will destroy her.
