This week on Disney on the Rocks, Eric and Jeff drink alcohol and talk about the 1996 Disney disaster that was The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Who was this movie for? Why did they go so dark?! Was this the beginning of the end of the Disney 90's Renaissance?

Some of the things we talk about include:

Disney's Marketing Misdirection
How close is Hunchback to the source material?
How did Esmerelda set unrealistic expectations about Gypsies?
That time Eric was more or less Quasimodo at the Festival of Fools...
Is "genocide" an appropriate theme for a Disney movie?
Did Quasimodo get Friend-Zoned harder than anyone in film history?
Narrating Frolo's Death...

Tune in and have fun listening!
