Strong Left
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by condemning authoritarianism, religious hypocrisy, and systemic prejudice against marginalized groups, while championing social justice and compassion.
The movie features visible diversity through its central Romani characters, whose ethnic identity is fundamental to the narrative. The story strongly critiques prejudice and the abuse of power, explicitly portraying a white, male authority figure as a bigoted antagonist, making anti-discrimination themes central to its core message.
Secondary
The Hunchback of Notre Dame does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative is centered on other social and personal struggles, thus rendering the LGBTQ+ portrayal as not applicable.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1996 animated film adapts Victor Hugo's novel, retaining the established genders for all major characters like Quasimodo, Esmeralda, Frollo, and Phoebus. New characters introduced in the film do not have prior canonical genders.
The 1996 animated film faithfully adapts the established races and ethnicities of its core characters from Victor Hugo's novel, including Esmeralda's Romani heritage. No character canonically established as one race is portrayed as a different race.
