On the topic of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, aside from having its characters appearing in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and other Disney crossovers (including Disney Villains, which its antagonist, Claude Frollo is part of), there hasn't been another entry in the franchise since its terrible direct-to-video sequel.

Explanation

The statement correctly identifies that "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" has characters that appear in the "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance" game and Disney crossovers, including the Disney Villains series, where Claude Frollo is featured as an antagonist. However, the claim that there hasn't been another entry in the franchise since the direct-to-video sequel ("The Hunchback of Notre Dame II") is misleading. While it is true that there hasn't been a new theatrical release or significant media expansion directly based on the original film since the sequel, the phrase 'entry in the franchise' can be interpreted in broader terms. For instance, elements and characters from the film continue to appear sporadically in various forms of Disney media, and adaptations or theatrical revivals—such as musical adaptations—may not have been specified. Thus, the assertion oversimplifies the state of the franchise, leaning towards accuracy but lacking nuance, making it mostly true rather than outright false. Overall, while the statement captures some essential aspects, it may lead some to conclude that the franchise is completely dormant, which is not entirely the case.
