Hollywood really, really doesn't get THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Years ago, when Disney went ahead with a big, cheery, animated musical based on Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame, almost everybody outside of the studio gates knew it was going to be a huge flop. It was just such a baffling, obviously dumb idea. Why would anybody spend millions of dollars on a cartoon about a singing hunchback?

Well, now Hollywood is gonna try adapting Hunchback again - this time as a "high-concept action adventure story." Start selling off your Paramount stock now, folks.
