The Hunchback of Notre Dame

The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) elicits a powerful and often intense emotional response, characteristic of its 'Drama' genre. Audiences feel significant **Sadness** and profound **Empathy** for Quasimodo's isolation and mistreatment, as well as for the persecuted gypsies. **Anger** and **Fear** are strongly directed towards the villainous Frollo and his cruel actions. Despite the dark themes, the film also inspires **Hope** and **Inspiration** through Esmeralda's compassion and Quasimodo's eventual heroism and acceptance. Moments of **Melancholy** underscore the film's somber tone, balanced by brief instances of **Joy** and **Happiness**, and ultimately a sense of **Relief** and **Satisfaction** at the climax. The grand animation and powerful score also contribute to a feeling of **Awe**, making for a complex and emotionally rich viewing experience that pushes the boundaries of a 'Family' film.
