For those who aren’t aware, I have been going back and doing audio remasters of a number of my older videos, now that I have much better equipment, software, and general knowledge of how to record and edit audio. I had already produced remasters for my videos on the effects of both Shrek and The Fox and the Hound on American animation, and intended to release them in mid-late January, but then suddenly, in early December of last year, the algorithm started recommending these two older videos (hence why you might have already watched the original version of this). I just wanted to let you all know to avoid confusion, especially for those who have already watched the originals (though I’d appreciate you watching the improved versions). I’ll be leaving the original uploads live for a little while, to avoid sabotaging myself in the algorithm, before eventually unlisting them (though the originals will still be linked in the bottom of the descriptions of the remasters). In other news, I should have a brand-new video out in mid-late February, with my 50K Q&A special hopefully coming out in March or April (so be sure to get your questions in now, on either the video announcement or the community post).

What are your thoughts on The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Both The Original Victor Hugo Novel and The 1996 Disney Film). Not gonna lie I actually think the 1996 Disney film is better than the Victor Hugo novel. Quasimodo and Esmeralda are more likable and relatable in the Disney movie than they were in the Hugo novel. I also think Claude Frollo is way cooler and bad ass than he was in the book. I thinking making him a judge is scarier than him just being a an evil priest. Making Frollo a judge gives more authority and power which makes him a more credible threat. Not too mention the whole evil priest has been done to death and is very cliche. Given that Claude Frollo is a religious villain making an evil priest would have been too on the nose/obvious.

@@therealCrazyJake no, sci fi and fantasy are settings no genres, genres are stuff like horror, adventure, mystery, romance, etc and those stories can happen in any setting be it contemporary, historical, future or fantastical settings (or a mix of them as its often the case) the problem with considering them "genres" is that then they get constrained to genre convensions which severly limits what can be done with the story since people have several expectations of what one of this stories is supposed to be, another problem is the fantasy and sci fi ghetto which you can investigate more about that to learn why its a problem

The ballad of the bellstone fox sounds interesting. I agree with your theory. It’s almost like Reynard the Fox and Robin Hood. They were gonna make a Reynard movie, but Reynard’s an anti hero, so they basically adapted Robin Hood and made the characters foxes and other animals. Here it’s basically they adapted a different novel, but used names from something they had the rights to. Like, if they adapted the Robin Hood stories, but kept the name’s from the Reynard stories, and called it “Reynard the Fox” instead of Robin Hood.

Recently rewatched the film and I agree with your analysis; There are some great elements in this film, but there is too much fluff at times that drags it down and they should have killed of Chief. Also, I couldn't help but compare the film to Bambi, another NAX-story set in the American forests (though I know the original book is set in Europe) with Hunters as the main antagonists and, well, Bambi is better made. Both storytelling-wise and technically/animation wise. Best summed up with that both films have a scene with a waterfall in the background. For Bambi, it's in the beginning, for FatH, it's during Tod and Vixy's "falling in love montage" and the big difference is in Bambi the waterfall moves. It flows. But it doesn't in FatH, which just feels lazy. I too want to say that I think your theory holds a lot of weight. However, I'd just like to add that one of the reasons Disney the studio purchased the rights to the novel so fast could have been that they didn't read it, just read the concept and, like so many, assumed it was made for kids because "hey, talking animals". Also, also, even if they knew about the darker parts of the story, it's not like Disney has the best track record for "most faithful adaptation" of stories. There is a reason I don't mind them labeling all their films as "Walt Disney's The Little Mermaid" for example, that also takes its fair share of liberties and, among other things, gives the story a happy ending. Because yeah, it's not HC Andersens Little Mermaid, it's the Disney version. It's their retelling. (Which I understand if people have issues with, but I still prefer it too how when Coppola, for example, dared to call his adaptation Bram Stokers Dracula when he completely butchered and misinterpreted every single character from the novel. Visually stunning film, yes, but as a fan of the book I can't stand what it did to the characters). So Disney more than likely set out to do a less faithful, more childfriendly adaptation from the very beginning, simply because they liked the core concept. So wether they took inspiration from the Belstone fox or not, it would still more than likely have become a very different film than the book.

19:18 I emphatically disagree. I don't think that I would be more forgiving towards someone who led a member of my family (which is how Chief is treated in the movie) in front of an oncoming train, leading to them being struck if good fortune led to them not dying. The fact of the matter is that they led my family into a situation that would have killed them but for a miracle; that what appeared to be an attempt to kill my family failed would change nothing. Since Copper is represented as having human-like emotions and perspectives, him being a dog doesn't change things in my view.

@@purplehaze2358 Just take one look at their policies, their foundational ideologies, and their current market regulations. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you believe that “communism” is just what Marx wrote about. It is not. It’s any system that was created using Marxism as its inspiration. If it was purely a Marxist system, then we would refer to it as “Marxist Communism” or “Marxism” rather than “Marxism-Leninism”. Leninism is an extension of Marxist ideology interpreted to favor authoritarian regimes.
