The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Well, they didn’t break in to steal a movie 8D

They stole a TV, the VHS player, a camcorder and other things, including a box with some VHS tapes in it, and Hunchback was among them.

I gues they like the movie if they stole it. :laughing:

No, they probably didn’t look at the box contents when they took it. There were other things there.

Any word of it getting released on blu-ray soon?

Nope. I hope it gets released on Blu-Ray soon as I would definitely pick it up.

Sadly, I don’t think that will be happening anytime soon. I mean, the movie didn’t even get a 2-disc special edition release on DVD.

I think this film as gotten more populer over the years so demand may be higher.

No Disney animated film deserves the stigma of being on Blu ray…heck, they shouldn’t even be on DVD! You want to watch a Disney movie? Get a VHS and rewind like they used to do in the old days, before you guys were born.

I had a Disney movie on Betamax when I was a kid. 8D

But yeah, you should consider offering some reasons to back up statements like that, or else you’re honestly just going to sound like a troll.

Oh, yeah, he has said that before.

It something like they were released that way first, so that’s how they’re meant to be seen. Which isn’t true: They were released in movie theaters first, and VHS is far from being the medium that looks the most like cinema.

Just because I like DVD’s and Blu-Ray means were all like 10 years old? I like VHS too but I also like the newer stuff.

VHS is fun because you get to see all of those Disney ads for movies coming out in the '90s, and you’ve got the old school Disney castle at the beginning, so it brings back memories. I own plenty from my childhood and still use them; I just watched Hunchback on VHS, as a matter of fact. But I’ve upgraded some of my Disney films to DVD/Blu-Ray as they’ve been released. VHS doesn’t hold up as well over time and most places don’t have VHS players anymore. Plus, it’s higher quality; how could this be bad?

The ONLY exception to this rule IMO would be Star Wars, because Lucas has changed the movies around so many times that you can only really see the “original” if you pick it up on VHS. One of my friends has a VHS box set of the original trilogy and one could argue that it’s how SW was intended to be- Sebastian Shaw as Anakin instead of Hayden Christensen, etc.

Disney hasn’t really changed the films apart from re-mastering them. Do you not like the re-mastering, Lover of Fiction?

Actually, the VHS version of Star Wars isn’t the original (they hadn’t all the changes they have now, but they had some anyway). Instead, there was a limited release in DVD that contained both the special editions and the very originals, without any change.

So, even in that case, that DVD release is more unadulterated than the VHS one.

I doo still have a couple of my Disney movies on VHS like Toy Story and The Lion King.

I don’t own much Disney films in DVD, simply cause I don’t watch them over and over again, but I still have my VHS copies. I specially treasure my Alice in Wonderland VHS, as that was the first film we bought and saw when I was a baby.

Their are some people who collect Disney movies on VHS.

Right you are on the DVDs! I forgot about those guys.

I guess it depends on which VHS release we’re talking about 8D I don’t recall which version she has, but I know it’s pre-special edition and from the early '90s… were those also changed? I know the big special edition had significant changes but I wasn’t aware that the earlier tapes did as well.

Well, they’re only small changes in color, and stuff, and I think the special DVDs didn’t have them, so they’re even more like the originals.

But I may be mistaken and the DVDs also have color correction.

Did Hunchback win any Awards?

Menken got an Oscar nomination for the score, and rightfully so. It’s sort of a shame that the tone of the music changed from grave, beautiful, and powerful to silly and forgettable (“A Guy Like You”). Oh well.
