        I usually do not copy others ideas, so do not worry. I used
her ideas just temporarily, and it shouldn't bother her. But, relax
please, I didn't mean to upset her... please. I think she will be
glad to read/hear then that I've made up my own by now. And if she
likes to look at it, I would feel honored. I'd like to have her
opinion on it. And ... she can keep it too. I would feel even more
honored. I was hoping she'd like it when someone likes her ideas so
much that they are using them again. Well, I was wrong. Sorry!! Please
pass me Tinks internet email address, so I can tell her how sorry I am
personally...
        I wasn't stealing her idea, it is still her idea. I will send
you mine. Send it also to Tinks. I would be glad to make more, maybe
even for KKC. Take it as my apology.

 Nope.. they have "not so known" people for the voices, but known Mexican
 singers for the songs, and they are good!!! :-)) They do a very good job!!
 You know.. my lastest Disney Movie that I've bought was Blanca Nieves
 (Snow White) I saw it in Spanish, when I was little, and I liked it a lot,
 then, I got a chance to buy the tape in English, and I think I liked a
 little more Snow's voice in Spanish than English.. I dunno why.. :) The
 *only* thing that is missing on my special favorites collection is
 Sleeping Beauty, when I came to live here in Tijuana, I didn't have a VCR
 the tape was out, but I didn't buy it, 'cause I didn't have one.. now that
 I have two, I HATE MYSELF 'cause I didn't buy it... maybe someday soon
 they'll take it out again.. :)
 Thanks for your message! :)

user: You are replying to All about "Notre Dame".

Write your reply.

assistant: I went out and saw Hunchback last night with my family. The main reason
I went out and saw it on the first day it was out was because I have a
freind in Southern California who saw a sneak preview of it and hated
it. He said the film was too dark, that all the characters were dark and
horrid - that there's nothing bright in the film.
He wrote a review of Pocahontas last year, telling what an awful movie
it was.
I didn't agree then and I don't agree now.
I think this film is worth seeing. I think it is a film made for adults,
but then again I said that about Pocahontas and the kids seemed to love
it anyway.
No spoiler is needed - I don't plan to reveal anything about the plot.
I thought the locations were recreated in a way that made them look very
real. The characters actually acted like people - with feelings and
plans and hopes and dreams. I was caught up in it.
This film is a far cry from "The Little Mermaid" or other Disney fare,
but that may work to its advantage.
I wasn't exactly humming the soundtrack on the way out or anything. I
think the success of the Broadway version of "Beauty and The Beast" went
to the song-writers' heads. This film has too many songs and not a one
is memorable. I can't IMAGINE the soundtrack doing very well.
On the other hand, the people seem very real and they are faced with
very real problems. These problems are NOT solved supernaturally,
either. They are struggled with and dealt with. The people grow in
strength as they conquer their fears.
This is a very compelling story told very well.
It is different enough that I don't expect it to break any box-office
records, but all the same it is worth seeing.
Disney has brought together all the solid elements of a great film and
they click in this one.
I plan to see it again and again and again and then someday own it on
laser disc.
