Heaven's Light Reprise

"I knew I'd never know, that warm and loving glow, though I might wish with all my might."

Waaah poor Quasi. This scene always makes me want to hug Quasi. He's so sweet and kind and yet Esmeralda doesn't love him back. Worse than that, she kisses Phoebus for over 30 seconds in front of him.

Anyway, I LOVE the animation in this scene--you can really feel Quasi's pain in every subtle detail. While I'm not happy about Quasi being sad (I'll love you Quasi!!), I do applaud Disney for keeping at least this aspect of the book. It makes it more realistic and gives people who have unrequited love a character that they can empathize with.

Quasi and the Hunchback of Notre Dame belong to Disney (and the awesome animation I believe belongs to James Baxter) and the amazing book Disney used belongs to Victor Hugo.
