Hunchback of Notre Dame Live-Action Reportedly Canceled
There’s heavy talk of a live-action Hunchback of Notre Dame in production since 2019. The collaboration was based entirely on speculation from TikTok and has been gathering momentum over the past two years. Disney never formally announced the project, and the only concrete update came from Alan Menken last May.
Referring to the dicey material in the animated film’s score Menken explained, “It’s (Hunchback’s) a tough one, because the Hunchback movie, Hunchback story involves a lot of real, real issues that are important issues and should be explored to be discussed. And there has to be an agreement about how we deal with those issues. You know, do we do a Hunchback without ‘Hellfire?’ I don’t think so … So it sits in this limbo right now.”

Rumor and unsubstantiated reports have the project shelved. Bob Iger was quite candid about the future of Disney media in an interview with CNBC’s David Faber. Iger shared Disney’s future strategy by stating, “we have to look really hard at how much we’ve made and what’s really worked. And now that we are even more focused on delivering profitability, we have to be I think more discerning in terms of basically what we say yes to…”
Therefore it’s highly likely that Hunchback may have not made it out of pre-production. So many films fall by the wayside before one frame of film is even captured, so rumor has it that Hunchback (at least for now) has suffered an ignominious defeat. Stay tuned for updates on this project and more Disney films and shows.
