Detailed Bias Analysis

Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis explicitly promotes progressive ideology by unequivocally critiquing systemic prejudice, religious hypocrisy, and the abuse of power against marginalized groups, championing empathy and social justice as the solution.
The movie features a diverse cast, including Romani characters and a disabled protagonist, whose identities are central to the story. Its narrative strongly critiques prejudice and abuse of power, explicitly portraying a powerful white male antagonist negatively due to his bigotry and cruelty.
Secondary
The film critiques the abuse of Christian doctrine and institutional power by the villain Frollo, who uses religion to justify his bigotry and cruelty. However, the narrative clearly condemns Frollo's actions, positioning the audience to sympathize with the victims of his religious hypocrisy and championing compassion and acceptance as true virtues.
The film, 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame II' (2002), does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on heterosexual romance and themes of acceptance, without incorporating any queer representation.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The story centers on Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Frollo, exploring themes of social prejudice and moral conflict without incorporating transgender identities or experiences into its narrative.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1996 animated film adapts Victor Hugo's novel without altering the established genders of its main characters, such as Quasimodo, Esmeralda, or Frollo. New characters introduced are not considered gender swaps.
The 1996 animated film faithfully adapts the characters from Victor Hugo's novel. Major characters like Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Frollo are depicted consistent with their established races or ethnicities (e.g., Romani for Esmeralda) in the source material and historical context, without altering their broader racial categories.
