The message delivery in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is bland and clumsy .
``   Hi-Def Digest said `` There 's really no point in wasting your time watching this subpar sequel of an already ho-hum movie '' , rating it 1.5 stars.  PopMatters notes `` The Hunchback of Notre Dame II both addresses and cheapens the previous movie ’ s notes of melancholy , as it sets about finding Quasimodo a romantic partner '' .  DVD Talk says `` the story ... somehow stretches what might have once been a 12-minute segment of the Smurfs to over an hour '' , and concludes that `` the whole thing has the awful feel of a cash grab '' .
