Why ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ is the Best Animated Disney Movie Ever Made
With such a raw look at the 15th century, it seems that Disney was really trying to step outside of its element with this motion picture.

Sergio Pablos is a Spanish animator who started out working in the Disney Studios in Paris. He later on moved to the studio in Burbank. Pablos’s first assignments included working under Kathy Zielinski on Frollo in Hunchback and under Nik Ranieri on Hades in Hercules. After that on Tarzan he was the character designer and supervising animator on Tantor the elephant. He followed this up by supervising Doctor Doppler in Treasure Planet, an assignment he wishes turned out differently because he didn’t quick like the human-dog thing. After this Pablos came out on his own running Amimagicfilms, which has produced spectacular animation in recent years. Most recently he has worked with BluSky on making the film for his creation Despicable Me as well as designing characters for Rio.

Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame is a unique film coming from the same studio that brought us The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. While it does have its silly moments to maintain Disney’s family-friendliness, it also carries themes that stick to audiences years after its release.
