I never really considered Shan Yu a real villain, coz a) he barely speaks and b) all I saw him do was wage a war, and that's not really such a capital offense, he wasn't really harming anyone personally, he fights China for military reasons, Mulan because she's a danger to his own men and the Emperor because, from Shan Yu's point of view, he is the enemy.

So, it's true that Frollo is SO evil, but I found that Hellfire is the one song that allows us to understand him and look away from his evil. Maybe because I can just identify with him, this poor guy who is trying to be righteous, but his pride and lust are leading him to sin. But I also know some people have something against this song, maybe it depends on what picture people have of religion.

Yes, your description fits Esmeralda, but she does more than protest for justice, and she just has this provocative and outspoken type that I'm not sure I like that makes me prefer Frollo for a minute. In any event, it's a really special movie.

I'm a little surprised that you haven't seen Sleeping Beauty, isn't it compulsory viewing ;)? And if you like culture, good pictures and traditional animation, you should see Princess and the Frog.

Oh, Switzerland is great to live in. There is this smaller version metropolitism, together with some surprisingly old-fashioned systems and tought-out-ness. One of the only problems is that they are mad enough to show and sell Disney movies in German, but luckily, the smart people (like me) still know to choose it right.
