Weird mashup of comedy & drama, of religion and police. I kept waiting to see the flying buttresses on the cathedral, but missed them if they were shown.

I have a fond impression of the '39 live action drama of the same title with Charles Laughton and Maureen O'Hara, but don't remember enough of the plot to compare with this. I don't think I've read the Victor Hugo novel.

Only recognized JA & CK voices of comic singing gargoyles, friends of Quasimodo.

Not something I'd want to see often.
