File:'Made of Stone' Animatic (The Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical)

This is my second animatic made out of passion for Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996) and its stage counterpart. This is a handful of animatics I was inspired to create a while ago (even though it is only now that I've started to share them), just in lite of the release of the musical cast recording. I was even further inspired to create them as is was just the time when the trend of Disney live-action remakes were starting to kick into high gear (long before the announcement of the 'Hunchback' remake was ever announced).

Now I am of the general mindset that Disney live-action remakes are less often than not made with the right intentions. But 'Hunchback' has always been one that I could conceive of several reasons to justify the making of, and could picture several directions in which to take it. While I'm not sure if the eventual result will ultimately be worth all the effort, I am willing to be open-minded and cautiously optimistic. The animatics I've created were basically my own personal conception for how I would film a remake of 'Hunchback', adding some new elements into account, like Alan Menken's song rendition of Quasimodo's iconic line from the novel. I also tried envisioning how it could be done if going for the concept that the gargoyles and statuary are explicitly voices in Quasimodo's head.
