If there had never been a classic book called "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" this would have stood well on its own. But if you're going to base a movie on a classic novel, it behooves you to pay attention to the story. It wasn't just the fact they changed the ending it was that they tore the heart and soul out of Hugo's work to make a musical caricature. It's not suitable for children and it's not mature enough for adults. This was made during Disney's "Oh Gawd, we're out of original ideas!" period. They started cribbing the classics in desperation and that's ALWAYS a bad idea. It suffers badly by comparison to the original.
