25th anniversary of The Hunchback of Notre Dame - June 21,

This movie is still heads and shoulders over most animated films today. Beautiful animation, compelling characters, a chilling cathedral and Broadway musical score - it's the jack of all trades. It would have been better if the mood were more consistent; the gargoyles' slapstick humor were a far cry from the heavy mature themes. Other than that, The New York Times has an interesting article about how the film earned a G rating in spite of the adult themes.
