Back before the this blog began and I was just watching every Hunchback version I could get my hands on, I was aware that there was another knock-off Disney kicking around but I never did get the chance to watch it and then I just forgot about it existed. So when people requested the other Burbank version of Hunchback, I thought great another crappy hunchback to suffer through and then rip apart. After watching it, I relived that this one was the one I forgot about and honestly that is where this version should be left, forgotten.
I started watching it on two separate occasions and I didn’t even make it passed the first line but these things must be done so let’s just get on with it.
Just so everyone is clear this version came out in 1996, so unlike the one that came out in 1986 this one is an attempt to make money off the Disney version. It is also attributed to Burbank Animations Studios whereas the 1986 version was from Burbank Films. I don’t think there is much difference expect Burbank Films made videos between 1982 to 1989 and Burbank Animations Studios made videos from 1991 to 2002. They also didn’t just rip-off Disney but also Don Bluth, DreamWorks and more. I don’t know it that makes it better or worse.
