This is now officially my favorite Disney DTV movie.

No matter how much people hate on this movie, I will adore it.
Let's start with that I don't get the hatred towards the DTVs in general as I don't mind the lower quality of the animation and the songs that much.
And this one just touched my heart in a way that many supposedly better movies never managed to do.
Sure, it is true that it has one or two flaws too many to make me call it a masterpiece.
But really, nothing that you can say will stop me from thinking that Quasimodo and Madellaine are Disney's most underrated couple.
And that is enough to make me forgive some wonky animation and that some of the songs aren't that strong.
But let's not forget that even the first movie has "A guy like you", that sticks out like sore thumb among the gems in the rest of the soundtrack.
At least in the sequel, all of the songs fit the more light-hearted tone of the story.
And I happen to find "An ordinary miracle" and "I'm gonna love you" quite lovely and "Le jour d'amour" to be rather good as well.
While I don't get the gargoyle/goat pairing in the end, it is only a very small part of the story and can’t ruin my appreciation of the rest of it.
And I have to say that I'm glad that this sequel is lighter and softer than the first movie since that one was almost too dark to be a Disney movie.
This sequel has moments, that I happen to find funny, and I can't say that about the first movie, which is bleak despite some attempts at comedy.
And yeah, Sarousch is not as memorable as Frollo, but Frollo was really creepy, and I don't think that the world needs two of him.
Sarousch was pretty nasty himself too though as he was abusive to Madellaine (it is only a milder version of Frollo's treatment of Quasimodo).
He decided to put the blame for the thefts on his foster daughter and get her arrested and then threaten a little kid just to become rich.
Anyway, his job was to create an obstacle for Quasimodo and Madellaine to overcome, and yeah, that is what he did in the end.
