** 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!

** Wouldn't having gems on the ''inside'' of a bell make the tone come out warped? To say nothing of the fact that bells are specifically designed to withstand long term wear and damage from the powerful ringing whereas jewels are fragile and probably wouldn't even stand up to a week of such attrition. Also, wouldn't the {{Anvilicious}} moral of "TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside" have worked just as well with the sounds the bells make? The decorations were hardly even needed. Let's not forget that the clapper (the pendulum-like component that produces the sounds of a bell) would probably smash the jewels into pieces.
** Sarousch makes balls disappear and reappear in Zephyr's hands right before his eyes, something no amount of stage magic could do. He later makes La Fidel disappear despite it being in a bell tower in a city he has never been to before. The trick is supposed to be sending the bell down a tunnel, but there is no way he could have a tunnel connected all the way up there, especially when he didn't even initally know the bell's exact location.

Bonus points, Zephyr is a wind-themed name, thematically similar to Sora.

The first film had gorgeous animation, dealt with some pretty heavy themes for a Disney movie, had a great villain and stellar music. The sequel dispensed with all of these and made the tone much LighterAndSofter. It's clear the only purpose of the film was to give Quasimodo a girlfriend. Why Kevin Kline, Tom Hulce and Demi Moore stuck around for it is a mystery for future generations to wonder upon. It was so bad that it contributed to the end of Disney's DTV sequels.
