The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is a 2002 American animated musical film directed by Bradley Raymond.

Much of the actors from the original film reprise their roles, with the addition of new characters played by Jennifer Love Hewitt, Michael McKean and Haley Joel Osment.

[2] Six years after the events of the original film, Quasimodo is now an accepted member of Parisian society, though he still lives in Notre-Dame de Paris with Victor, Hugo, and Laverne as the cathedral's bell-ringer.

Sarousch, the owner, is secretly a criminal who plans to steal Notre Dame's most beloved bell, La Fidèle; the inside is decorated with beige-gold and enormous jewels.

He sends Madellaine, an aspiring high-wire girl in his troupe, to go to Quasimodo and pretend to love him in order to discover the whereabouts of La Fidèle.

After observing Quasimodo fondly playing with Zephyr around town and letting the boy sleep in his arms, Madellaine realizes the hunchback's true nature and ceases to be frightened by his appearance.

Later, while Quasimodo is out with Madellaine, Sarousch and two of his subordinates sneak into the cathedral and steal La Fidèle, although they are followed by Djali and Zephyr, the latter of whom wanted to join the circus.

When the Archdeacon informs everyone that La Fidèle has been stolen, Clopin claims that if they do not find the bell, the festival will be ruined.

Madellaine, now Phoebus's prisoner, apologizes for her crimes and informs them that Sarousch has taken the missing bell to the Catacombs of Paris and tries to explain the secrets behind her former master's tricks and illusions.

A number of romantic couples, including Phoebus and Esmeralda, proclaim their love for each other while Quasimodo rings the restored La Fidèle.

"[5] 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.

[7] 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".
