History WesternAnimation / TheHunchbackOfNotreDameII

* InnocentlyInsensitive: When Phoebus suspects that Madellaine is only using Quasimodo so she can get La Fidele for Sarousch, Quasimodo assumes that Phoebus doesn't think someone could love him for his own merits. Phoebus immediately realizes his error and corrects what he means in a slightly more tactful manner.

-->'''Phoebus''': A string of robberies begins the moment a circus comes to town. Coincidence? ''I don't think so.'' How many times have I ever been wrong?\\

-->'''Phoebus''': Achilles, do you believe this? Everybody mad at me! How often does ''that'' happen?\\

* BrokenAesop:
** The message from the original, and in the sequel, is supposed to be that you can't judge by appearances and true beauty is on the inside. Unfortunately, it is distorted by the way that Quasimodo not only falls in love with the beautiful Madellaine, but she also goes through a rather formulaic HeelFaceTurn, and the villain Sarousch is not really all that handsome to the viewer, despite his own vanity, meaning that the viewers get a solid BeautyEqualsGoodness message instead.
** One of the other messages, that prejudice is wrong, is also broken. Phoebus is portrayed as being in the wrong for his prejudice against carnies, and he says that he was wrong at the end. But he wasn't wrong; the carnies really ''were'' stealing from people, and Madellaine was the only exception, so his suspicions were entirely justified!

* FootFocus: Madellaine's barefeet while she practices tightrope-walking.

Quasimodo falls in love with the beautiful and mysterious Madellaine, while trying to stop a thief posing as a magician from stealing a famous bell from the cathedral's belfry.

** Inverted, big time. Despite coming out after ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride'', which set the standard for DTV Disney films going forward. The animation in ''Hunchback II'' is usually considered to be some of the worst amongst the Disney sequels along with ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'' (which can be excused for it being a pilot to [[WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries the TV series that followed it]]) and ''WesternAnimation/PocahontasIIJourneyToANewWorld''. The animation is not as fluid, Notre Dame has a much smaller scope, the colors are a lot duller, and the layouts and camera work are less cinematic and grand. It's especially pronounced compared to the original and its sweeping visuals, complex character animation, and use of digital techniques including [[TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects CGI]] and the CAPS painting method (neither of which were used here). That said, there are some moments of fluidity despite the lower quality like with Madelaine's introduction, which comes down to Disney Japan's usual bouncy style; but winds up a detriment in and of itself as it makes everyone move as cartoonishly and rubbery as the gargoyles.

The animation is not as fluid, Notre Dame has a much smaller scope, and the colors are a lot more dull. It's especially pronounced compared to just how different the style is to the original. That said, there are some moments of fluidity despite the lower quality, like with Madellaine's introduction.
