My boyfriend and I just watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame a few hours ago. I forgot how much I love that movie. It's quite a mature Disney movie and so underrated because of that. I am contemplating reading the book now.
Esmeralda is such a GREAT character. I loved her so much as a child and now as an adult, I love her even more. Her courage, selfless nature, & resourcefulness are all such admirable characteristics and I think make her an incredible role model. I think especially in a time like we are living (at least in the U.S.), watching a group of outcasts fight for justice and then win at the end is very encouraging.
