The Lunchbox of Notre Dame


I really liked Disney's adaptation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," but I can't believe it ever got green-lighted in the first place. The original story is about as appropriate for kids as "The Scarlet Letter*," and even the Disneyfied version was pretty darn dark. You wouldn't know that from the advertising, though. Check out these 1990's ads selling "Hunchback" burger toys and sweets to unsuspecting kids.

The third Burger King commercial (video #3) is the coolest, with Burger King transforming into some kind of crazy Renaissance Faire, complete with a giant Gothic cathedral belltower rising up from the building!

*Disney should totally make an animated musical comedy adaptation of "The Scarlet Letter," though.
