What a disappointment

Warning: Spoilers
For an Oscar nominee (!), this is pretty weak stuff. Yes, the hand-drawn animation is nicely done but -- at least in the English-language version -- the writing is just awful; over-explanatory and on-the-nose. I was constantly annoyed by it.

In addition, the characters all have either American accents or *SPOILERS* British accents if they're bad guys. And the voice work is nothing special. I *would* be interested in seeing a French-with-subtitles version if one exists. Also, there's almost nothing particularly "Parisian" about the film, despite the title, except for the climax which takes place atop Notre Dame. And it's barely over an hour long! Glad I caught it via On-Demand rather than paying 12 bucks in a theater.
