![]() ![]() ![]() There's no doubt that the author of Les Miserables knew how to tell a story. It's no wonder the movie was so good: Dark or not, it was still based on a Victor Hugo novel. But somehow, Disney gave them the green light, and they went on to make one of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time. Throw in the whole plotline where Judge Frollo is driven to insanity and burns down Paris because of his lust for the gypsy Esmeralda, and it seems like an easy "nope" from any children's studio.Įven the directors and production team for the film doubted whether it would work as a Disney movie when they pitched it. ![]() It was a strange choice for sure: A story about a corrupt priest (who Disney turned into a judge to avoid upsetting the church) raises a deformed gypsy child in a church attic while making it his life mission to extinguish all gypsies from the city of Paris, doesn't exactly sound like a good story to make for kids. ![]() There's no accounting for why Disney decided to make an animated version of a Victor Hugo novel where everyone dies at the end. ![]()
