Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Entry #34 in the Disney Animated Canon, released in 1996. It's inspired by Victor Hugo's novel of the same name, but has more in common with the 1939 film. The film is known for being one of the Darker and Edgier Disney animated films, although still being considered family-friendly.In 15th century France, the corrupt and sinister Judge Claude Frollo once uncovered several Roma trying to enter Paris with an unidentified and bundled object. One of them attempted to escape with it and Frollo ran her down, indirectly causing her death. It is then that Frollo realized that the woman was carrying a baby, and, disgusted by the infant's deformity, nearly drowned the child in a well when he is stopped by the Archdeacon. He warned Frollo that his sin of spilling innocent blood must be atoned for and has Frollo care for the child as his own. Frollo reluctantly agrees to do so, with the stipulation that the child - whom he names Quasimodo (meaning "half-formed") — reside in the bell tower of the cathedral, never to be seen by public eyes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Twenty years pass, and the kindhearted but isolated Quasimodo strongly desires to have one day of freedom beyond the walls of Notre Dame to see the Feast of Fools festival and decides to act on his decision after receiving encouragement from his animate stone gargoyle friends Victor, Hugo, and Laverne. However, when Quasimodo's identity is revealed, he is publicly scorned and humiliated by the townspeople until he is rescued by the beautiful and strong-willed Romani Esmeralda, who has no tolerance for Frollo's ill-treatment of Quasimodo and her people. This encounter results in an unlikely friendship between Quasimodo and Esmeralda (as well as a one-sided love from Quasimodo to Esmeralda) and an unsettling lust in Frollo, whose inner conflict over his piety to God versus his growing sexual lust for Esmeralda drives him to hunt the Romani girl down with the intention of having her for himself or not letting anyone have her at all. With Esmeralda and the other Romas's lives in danger, and the whole city of Paris in the grip of Frollo's corruption, Quasimodo must team up with Esmeralda's love interest Captain Phoebus in order to stop Frollo and rescue Esmeralda.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })In 1999, the film was translated into German for a stage musical, Der Glöckner von Notre Dame. A second, English-language stage adaptation of the film, with a book by Peter Parnell rather than the one James Lapine wrote for the German production, debuted at San Diego's La Jolla Playhouse in 2014. This was restaged at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse the following year, though plans for a Broadway transfer were cancelled (although a cast recording has been made.) In 2017 Peter Parnell's version was translated into German and was brought to Berlin, before going on tour. Both musicals backtracked from Disney's take towards the original novel, and are thus Darker and Edgier, Parnell's version more so than Lapine's. Tropes for these stage productions can be found here.In 2002, a Direct-to-Video sequel was made. For tropes relating to it, here. | |

Can't Kill You, Still Need You | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Frollo spares Quasimodo, though the main reason Frollo can't kill Quasimodo as a baby is that the Archdeacon caught him trying and used his fear of God to get him to adopt Quasimodo. He does, however, state that he's going to find a use for the "foul creature". | |

Rescue Romance | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Played with. Quasimodo falls in love with Esmeralda after she rescues him; Frollo ironically develops his lust for her due to this same incident. Esmeralda, on the other hand, is oblivious to the former and is disgusted by the latter. After they rescue each other several times, Esmeralda and Phoebus end up falling for each other, but only when they rescue other people (Phoebus falls for Esmeralda when she rescues Quasimodo, and Esmeralda falls for Phoebus when he rescues the miller's family). | |

Darker and Edgier | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: This film is much darker than the standard Disney Animated Canon fare. It opens with the villain sentencing a group of refugees to torture and execution, chasing down and killing an innocent woman on the steps of a cathedral, and being stopped in the act of drowning her baby. Later, said villain sings about lusting after a woman and burning her alive if he cannot have her. The villain's a genocidal racist (as demonstrated when he crushes ants beneath a stone block while talking to Phoebus to show what he will do when he finds the Roma) and telling the Roma people he's just rounded up, "There'll be a little bonfire in the square tomorrow, and you're all invited to attend." Strangely, despite the movie's Disneyfication, it's actually darker than the novel in a few respects; Roma genocide isn't on the agenda at all in the book, nor is Paris burned. Also, Disney changed Quasimodo's public humiliation from simple corporal punishment (and he had in fact comitted the crime he was accused of) to the whim of a sadistic crowd. Not to mention Disney's Frollo completely lacks any of his literary counterpart's Anti-Villainous traits. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Frollo's "Hellfire" song contains the lyrics 'Like fire, hellfire, this fire in my skin, This burning desire is turning me to... sin!' Given Frollo's hidden lust for Esmeralda, the "fire in his skin" could be suggestive of some S.T.D. like syphillis or gonorrhea. During that song, he is panting and freaked out when someone walks in on him. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_1520ad7e | comment |
In the "Hellfire" sequence, Frollo realizes that his lust for Esmeralda is driving him to sinful acts. Rather than using this moment of self-awareness to tone down his cruelty, he instead blames Esmeralda for being sexy and God for allowing temptation to exist, and then, free of actually being at fault for any of his wrongdoing, resolves to burn down all of Paris to find her. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil vs. Evil: While Frollo is clearly a genocidal maniac it is interesting to note that the Roma themselves live in the Court of Miracles (where all the criminals in Paris hang out) and try to murder Quasimodo and Phoebus for discovering them, all the while singing a jaunty tune about their crimes and deception. On the other hand, some of the lines in "Court of Miracles" imply that the Roma are doing to (what they think are) Frollo's spies what Frollo did to them. So the lines about how criminals live in the Court might have been their way of mocking Frollo's prejudices, along the lines of "You say we're criminals? We'll give you criminals." | |

Descent into Darkness Song | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_18565557 | comment |
Descent into Darkness Song: Frollo's "Hellfire" song counts as a Dark Reprise of "Heaven's Light", but it also counts alone as this trope. A sacred chant leads into the song, With composure, Frollo sings to the Virgin Mary, "You know I am a righteous man..." and then the song gets darker as he sings of how desire for Esmeralda tempts him. The accompanying chants turn ominous, and Frollo pictures himself condemned. He concludes: "She'll be mine or she will burn!" | |

Title Drop | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_18d15922 | comment |
Several non-English dubs share this title drop, such as Swedish ("Det är Ringaren i Notre Dame!") and Finnish ("Se on Notre Damen kellonsoittaja!"). The Japanese dub of the film, however, changed the movie's title to "The Bells of Notre Dame" because "hunchback" is too much of an insult to say. This introduces other Title Drops, however; particularly the opening and ending song. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting: Given the setting, this happens often. A good deal of it is during Frollo's Villain Song where it quotes Latin Catholic prayers — in particular, the confiteor, which serves as a nice counterpoint to Frollo's Never My Fault attitude. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The amulet that Quasimodo receives from Esmeralda. It is a perfect map of Paris with the Ile de la Cite (the island in the River Seine where Notre Dame stands) as the reference point. Phoebus and Quasimodo uses it to locate the Court of Miracles in Cimetière du Père-Lachaise (the still-standing graveyard in Paris' 20th district). That gargoyle head that breaks under Frollo's feet during the climax? He sliced halfway through it a few moments earlier. | |

Ironic Name | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_23781532 | comment |
Ironic Name: According to the DVD commentary, Frollo apparently named his big scary black horse "Snowball". Inverted with Quasimodo and Phoebus, whose names have been de-ironized. In the book, Quasimodo is called such because Frollo finds him on Quasimodo Sunday, with its meaning of "half-formed" an ironic coincidence; in this film, Frollo gives Quasimodo the name because he's a Jerkass. Also, Phoebus' name, meaning "sun god", is meant to contrast with his cowardice and dickishness in the novel; in this film, though, Phoebus is legitimately heroic. | |

I Should Have Done This Years Ago: During the climax, Frollo admits that Quasimodo's mother risked her life trying to save him, rather than abandoning him like Frollo had claimed. While Quasi is still reeling, Frollo says that he's going to do what he should have done "TWENTY YEARS AGO!" and tries to kill him. | |

Birds of a Feather: Played with. Esmeralda and Quasimodo bond over their mutually restricted freedom, and while Esmeralda and Phoebus are both sarcastic and rebellious to do what is right, Phoebus doesn't rebel against Frollo until Frollo attempts to burn down a house with an innocent family still inside. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: During the "Hellfire" sequence, the Ominous Latin Chanting in the background is the Confiteor, a prayer Catholics recite during the Mass that is an admission of guilt and wrongdoing. Most awesomely, when Frollo is proclaiming that it's not his fault, what the red hoods of doom chant back at him is "mea culpa" and "mea maxima culpa", Latin for "through my fault" and "through my most grievous fault" respectively. As if that isn't enough, the portion of the Confiteor that actually asks for forgiveness is omitted. During "Hellfire", when Frollo says "God have mercy on her / God have mercy on me", you can hear the "kyrie eleison", Greek for "Lord, have mercy", being chanted in the background. The Latin lyrics to the piece that plays as Frollo hunts Quasimodo and Esmeralda is "dies irae" or "Day of Wrath", which is about how the wicked shall be punished in eternal fire. It gets even better when you realize that the same lyrics were used in the score much earlier while Frollo was chasing down Quasimodo's mother, as in both cases, he is using his religious fundamentalism to justify hunting down an innocent who is trying to protect someone who cannot defend themselves. On top of that, the only lines sung when Frollo chases Quasimodo's mother, right after we're informed he's a judge, are: 'Notre Dame' is not the name of the cathedral. The full name is Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris - often translated as "The Cathedral of Our Lady of Paris" or simply "Notre Dame Cathedral,". 'Notre Dame' directly translates to 'Our Lady' but is used specifically to refer to the Virgin Mother, Mary. This means that the Archdeacon's line about 'the very eyes of Notre Dame' just as much refers to the 'eyes of Our Lady', the Virgin Mary, as he does the Genius Loci of the cathedral. The statue of Mary is featured prominently in the accompanying animation sequence. This is brought up again and made even more brilliant with Phoebus' line "and now [Frollo] has declared war on [Our Lady] herself!" Frollo, in his quest to murder innocent people and purge entire races, has now began an attack on the epitome of all innocence; the Mother of Christ herself. note It is worth noting that in the novel it was heavily implied by the author that the cathedral was a character itself and it is quite possible that the movie characters refer both to Mary and the cathedral. The lyrics of the choir in Sanctuary, the score that plays while Quasimodo saves Esmeralda from being burned at the stake, match up perfectly with the animation when translated - such as "Libera me Domine de morte aeterna" ("Free me, Lord, from everlasting death") while Quasimodo is breaking from the chains holding him; "Sit sempiterna gloria" ("May You always be praised") as he climbs Notre Dame while carrying her; and "Sanctus, sanctus in excelsis" ("Holy, holy, in the highest") as he claims sanctuary. The entire set of verses as he's freeing Esmeralda is a prayer for strength and salvation: "O Salutaris Hostia" has the verse rendered in English as And then when Frollo moves to attack the cathedral: And when Phoebus rushes to the rescue: | |

Acting Unnatural: When Quasimodo is entertaining Frollo, all the while desperately hoping he doesn't notice the wounded Phoebus hidden under the table, Frollo suspiciously points out that Quasimodo hasn't eaten any of his dinner. Quasi nervously shoves a handful of grapes into his mouth and almost chokes on them. | |

Magical Romani: The Roma, or gypsies as they are called due to the time period of the movie, are associated with fortune-telling. Esmeralda uses some mundane magic tricks as a part of her acts, such as using puffs of smoke to disappear. After she turns away Frollo's advances, he accuses her of seducing him with actual witchcraft and tries to have her burned. | |

Adapted Out: Gringoire, Jehan Frollo, Fleur-de-Lys, Sister Gudule, and King Louis XI are all absent from this version. Gringoire's role in the plot has been mostly given to Phoebus, so he's not really necessary. The King is said to be away fighting in the wars, so this allows Frollo to have full control of the city. | |

It's far from being the worst thing he does, but it's still considered one of those things that you're not supposed to do, and gets bonus points for showing his contempt for religious authorities who get in the way in a way that contrasts with his role as The Fundamentalist at the same time. | |

Batman Gambit: How Frollo finds the Court of Miracles. He knows that Quasimodo is in league with the Roma and so likely has a means of communicating or meeting with them. Thus, he tells him that his men have found the court and that he plans to advance upon it in the near future. This is a lie, as Frollo has no idea where the court is. Quasi buys it, though, and heads off to warn the Roma. Frollo covertly follows him and ends up discovering the court. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: During Phoebus' introduction, Frollo explains to him that the previous captain of the guard was "a disappointment." Cue a whip crack in the background as a man screams in agony as Phoebus looks disturbed and Frollo just smirks. | |

Annoying Arrows: Averted. It only takes one shot to down the armoured Phoebus. Though not long after being downed by the arrow (approximately a couple hours in movie-time), he's fine. The wound was cleaned, stitched and still hurts him, but he's using the affected muscles to catch falling hunchbacks with no difficulty. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Phoebus objects to Frollo's order to burn down a windmill with a family trapped inside. Phoebus defies the order, in which Frollo commits the deed himself. When Phoebus breaks in and rescues the innocent family, he gets arrested by Frollo's guards and is ordered an immediate execution. In the final battle, Phoebus invokes this in the citizens if Frollo's word is seen as law. | |

This echoes the motif in "The Bells of Notre Dame", when both the Archdeacon and Clopin sing "Notre Dame". From the stage show, the last line of "Made of Stone".

Adult Fear: There's a taste of this in the introduction.

She then has to evade Frollo through the streets of Paris in order to protect her baby. She's running, he's on horseback. | |

Scenery Porn: The Cathedral of Notre Dame is drawn with perfect accuracy. When you visit her in real life and slowly come to the realization that the artist painted every single statue correctly as possible, it gets even better. Particularly since they included the medieval statues which were once part of the facade of the cathedral and are now stored in a small museum on the other bank of the Seine. | |

Adaptational Alternate Ending: Disney's version heavily changes the ending of the story - in the original Victor Hugo novel, both Esmeralda and Quasimodo die; in the Disney version, they both survive, Esmeralda marries Phoebus and Quasimodo gets accepted by the society. Interestingly, the Screen-to-Stage Adaptation of the Disney movie brings back the Downer Ending. | |

Loving a Shadow: "Heaven's Light" and "Hellfire" show Quasimodo and Frollo fall in love with Esmeralda, but having warped opinions of her (see Madonna–Whore Complex below). To further the point, Quasimodo builds a figure of her while Frollo lusts after an illusion of her in the fireplace's flames, both resembling Esmeralda but not quite perfectly her. | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_53c47260 | comment |
You Monster!: An indirect version. In the opening song, narrator Clopin opens his story by promising it to be "a tale of a man and a monster." At the end he asks "Now here is a riddle to guess if you can, sing the Bells of Notre Dame: Who is the monster and who is the man?" Frollo does call baby Quasimodo a monster when he sees that the child is misformed, and tries to kill him for it. You can probably figure out on your own to which character the riddle alludes. Then its reprise asks, "So here is a riddle to guess if you can, sing the Bells of Notre Dame: What makes a monster and what makes a man?" | |

Seeking Sanctuary: Quasimodo's mother tries to do this in the opening scene, but the door is locked, and the Archdeacon too late. Esmeralda does this when Frollo tries to capture her inside Notre Dame. He orders the guards to physically drag her outside, but is again confronted by the Archdeacon. He decides to bide his time, knowing she'll have to leave eventually. Finally, Quasimodo claims sanctuary for Esmeralda before all of Paris during the climax, to unanimous cheers. | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: It is difficult to know exactly how Victor Hugo pictured Quasimodo as we have only his words, but his monstrous description invites the reader to think of him as being as ugly and scary as they possibly can and then add some. In Animated Adaptations Quasimodo is portrayed as more Ugly Cute. This is downplayed though, as Quasi is still shown as ugly to a degree. | |

Artistic License – History | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The real Notre Dame de Paris has never - at any point in its history - had steps leading up to the front doors. Presumably the film makers added them for dramatic effect (and so it would be easier to Frollo to 'accidentally' kill Quasimodo's mother when she falls and breaks her neck.) To be fair, the depiction of the medieval Paris is full of inconsistencies, most of which would only be picked up by historians (e.g. a bridge represented next to Notre-Dame built decades after the action of the film takes place). However, even a layman could object to the presence of tomatoes and tobacco pipes (two products from South America) in France ten years before discovery of the New World. | |

Genius Loci | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_586624e5 | comment |
Genius Loci: The cathedral of Notre Dame itself seems sentient, and the characters sometimes treat it as a person. When Frollo tries to drown the baby Quasimodo, the Archdeacon points toward the facade of the Notre Dame, showing that all the statues of the saints, demons and angels, the Holy Mother and even little Jesus are menacingly staring at Frollo. This shakes him enough to backtrack on his murder and merely raise Quasimodo in an abusive environment. Quasimodo's gargoyle friends, confirmed to be actually sentient, try to be a positive influence on Quasimodo. They revert back to stone statues whenever someone else is present, making their nature quite ambiguous in the first film. In the climax of the film, Frollo tries to hang onto a gargoyle only for the gargoyle to come to life and roar toward the judge, breaking and sending him into a fiery pit of molten lead. | |

X Must Not Win: The gargoyles use this on Quasimodo, who responds to "You can't let Frollo win" with "He already has." Then, upon hearing Frollo's words as he tries to burn Esmeralda alive, Quasimodo changes his mind and keeps fighting anyway. | |

Death Glare | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_627264e0 | comment |
Death Glare: The statues that adorn Notre Dame Cathedral give one to Frollo during the "Bells of Notre Dame." Frollo does this twice to Quasimodo after he disobeyed his orders to stay in the Notre Dame bell-tower and was humiliated by the crowd (due to Frollo's guards starting a riot). Much later in the last third of the film, he then gives Quasi another one before ordering his guards to take him back to the bell-tower after discovering the Court of Miracles. Quasimodo does one when he sees Frollo lighting the stake that he tied Esmeralda to, showing that Quasi is not going to stand for this any longer. | |

Disneyfication | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_64f3ea6e | comment |
Disneyfication: You wouldn't think Victor Hugo's original novel would be suitable fare for a children's movie. Despite being one of Disney's darkest movies, they still made it much nicer than the book — Esmeralda was nicer, Phoebus was nicer, Quasimodo was nicer, there was a clearer line between good and evil, and the good guys didn't all die or kill themselves at the end. Even more strangely, the Disney movie is actually darker than the novel in a few respects; Roma genocide isn't on the agenda at all in the book, nor is Paris burned. Also, Disney changed Quasimodo's public humiliation from simple corporal punishment to the whim of a sadistic crowd. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: Phoebus calls the Roma "criminals and dangerous". He's not entirely wrong; the Court of Miracles is a hang out for "scoundrels". Also, Frollo warns Quasimodo that people will be cruel to him if he goes out of Notre Dame, and boy, is he right, though he did nothing but rub in the fact to make it feel worse for him. Frollo points out God made the devil far stronger than man. | |

Claude Frollo's name comes from Claudius, which means "lame, crippled." His brother Jehan's name is a form of John, which means "God is gracious." | |

When the crowd turns on Quasimodo at the end of "Topsy Turvy", Clopin immediately disappears, despite having been present through the whole number, as well as crowning Quasimodo and putting him up on the stage. This is subverted later when Clopin turns out an intimidating leader of the gypsies, and also becomes part of the captives set to be burnt at the stake. | |

Shut Up, Kirk!: When the Archdeacon angrily rebuffs him for bringing violence into the church, Frollo merely shoves him aside, snarling that he won't be interfering with his directions again. Given the Archdeacon was about the only entity that could keep Frollo under control, this is a sign he's jumped the slippery slope. | |

Disney Death: Esmeralda is briefly unconscious due to smoke inhalation, not dead. In the stage version, it's not so Disney. She revives long enough to look at him and weakly say, "I... think you are a good friend", then dies, probably from carbon monoxide poisoning. All in all, the chain-yanking makes it worse than in Hugo's novel. | |

Fashionable Asymmetry | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_7506ec90 | comment |
Fashionable Asymmetry: Esmeralda's outfit isn't symmetrical (she has a decorated wrap on one side of her skirt and only one ankle bracelet), and both she and most of the other Roma such as Clopin (who themselves are hardly symmetrical in dress) only have one earring in. Esmeralda is actually sharing a pair of earrings with Djali. Quasimodo is a bizarre subversion of this—his simple outfit is symmetrical, but his body (his hump is slightly offset to the right) and facial asymmetry aren't very attractive. | |

God Is Good: Everyone from Frollo to the Archdeacon believes that God will always punish the wicked and aid the righteous. However, the Archdeacon also seems to believe in God's mercy, and scolds Frollo for not showing it. Given it's implied that God Himself struck Frollo down, saving Quasimodo and Esmeralda from him in the process, all signs point towards them being correct. | |

Heroes' Frontier Step: Quasimodo didn't make a step when he saved Esmeralda. No. His HFS is when he holds Frollo by the cape and doesn't let him go. He wouldn't let the man who mistreated him for years, killed many Roma, including his mother, fall to his death. This short moment definitely solves the riddle: "who is the monster and who is the man". | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: The very first thing we see Frollo do is murder an innocent woman and attempts to drown her defenseless child, then to defend his actions as righteous. When Quasimodo is fully revealed on-screen, the first thing he does is demonstrating his compassion for living things and a longing to get out of the bell tower by helping a little bird learn how to fly. He turns and we see this playful smile on his face, and he says hello to the baby bird in a gentle and approachable voice. The DVD commentary states that because this scene is the first moment on-screen where you see Quasi's face, it was very important in making sure that the audience was rooting for Quasimodo right off the bat with this moment, and it makes Frollo's emotional abuse of Quasi all the more repulsive. | |

Facial Profiling | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_801e0eb5 | comment |
Facial Profiling: Most of the Romani, including Esmeralda (who is named for her unusual green eyes), are darker-skinned and darker-haired than the other French characters. There are a few lighter skinned Romani background characters. Quasimodo himself is Romani but is a pale-skinned redhead even though his mother has dark skin and black hair; his unusual coloring might have to do with his deformities. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_82a64c4b | comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: While still a heroic character, book Quasimodo was much more asocial and inclined to violence, displaying a softer side only toward Frollo and Esmeralda due to them being the only human beings to treat him somewhat decently. This incarnation pretty much is a Nice Guy with no resent or animosity toward anyone. Also in the novel, Clopin is an extremely violent and roguish cad who is an Anti-Hero at his best. Here, he's a colorful, over-the-top jester (outside of the Court of Miracles, at least). | |

"I Want" Song | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_8338de89 | comment |
"I Want" Song: Played straight with "Out There", in which Quasimodo sings about wanting a day of freedom. Inverted with "God Help the Outcasts" as Esmeralda specifically does not want anything for herself, but asks God to help others who are worse off than she is. Played for drama with "Hellfire", a mix between an Obsession Song, a Sanity Slippage Song, a Villain Song, and a Villain Love Song that ultimately conveys that wanting something can turn you into even more of a depraved person than you already are. | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: During the final battle, the Archdeacon tries to stop Frollo once again, this time from killing our heroes. Frollo shoves him down a flight of stairs. Though he is alive after impact, he is never seen or mentioned again. Actually you can spot him in the final scene of the film, when Esmeralda and Phoebus are leaving the Cathedral... but it's only for few seconds and in background. In fact most people didn't notice him until the Blu-ray edition. What became of Quasimodo's father after his arrest is unknown. It's never addressed in the end what happened to any of the soldiers who aided Frollo, but chances are, they were likely arrested and will stand trial for their crimes against Paris and the church. | |

Ignored Epiphany | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_9053903 | comment |
Ignored Epiphany: The Archdeacon calls out Frollo for committing murder of an innocent woman and going after her baby. He says no matter what Frollo does, the eyes of Notre Dame are watching him, and tells him to atone for his mistake by raising the baby as his own. It seems to work at first, as Frollo gains an Oh, Crap! look... then he says the baby should be raised in the bell-tower, and perhaps the baby will be of use to him. In the "Hellfire" sequence, Frollo realizes that his lust for Esmeralda is driving him to sinful acts. Rather than using this moment of self-awareness to tone down his cruelty, he instead blames Esmeralda for being sexy and God for allowing temptation to exist, and then, free of actually being at fault for any of his wrongdoing, resolves to burn down all of Paris to find her. | |

Bloodstained Glass Windows: No bloodier than you'd expect for a Disney animated film, but Phoebus lampshades it in his fight with Esmeralda inside the cathedral's sanctuary: "Candlelight, privacy, music! Can't think of a better place for hand-to-hand combat!" It's done much more seriously in the climax, as Frollo and Quasimodo fight on the parapets of the bell tower. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: Frollo falling into a lake of Hellfire-like molten lead. Esmeralda's "God Help the Outcasts" and Frollo's "Hellfire", when taken together, sound much like the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. Quasimodo tied with chains to the cathedral pillars with his arms outstretched brings to mind both Christ's crucifixion and Samson being put on display for the Philistines. When he breaks free and the pillars crumble, it is reminiscent of how Samson met his end, pushing down the pillars and bringing the roof down on himself and everyone else in the hall. Elements of the Notre Dame architecture are used to convey different moods: for example, the statues foreboding and ominous, the stained glass beautiful and hopeful. in "Hellfire", the camera pans from a huge opulent cross to the fireplace below, indicating that under all his apparent virtue, Frollo has a much darker side, notably his lust for Esmeralda. At the end of "Hellfire" in the DVD Commentary: Frollo offers pieces of silver to the Roma he captures for information about Esmeralda. While it doesn't go to thirty, the allusion is still there to Judas selling Jesus out to the Romans. Also, during the last few minutes Esmeralda is wearing a white dress. See Color-Coded for Your Convenience above. Pay very close attention to the scene where Frollo destroys Quasimodo's model of Paris. As he does so he picks up a wooden figure of Esmeralda and throws it, knocking over a figure of himself in the process. Also, aside from the obvious symbolism he's invoking by burning Esmeralda's figure, there is how he smashes all the other figures and the cathedral model in his rage; not only does this foreshadow his Villainous Breakdown later on, it specifically shows how he's willing to do anything, whether killing the citizens or attacking the cathedral itself, to get what he wants. Quasimodo's mother running away from Frollo and his soldiers with a baby draped in a white cloth, looks very similar to the scene in The Bible where Moses's mother tries to hide him when Pharaoh ordered that all boys of Israelitic origin shall be thrown into the Nile. The difference here is that she succeeds by putting him in a braided basket and has him float by the river, and never getting killed. | |

Never My Fault | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_973d220f | comment |
To a modern audience, Frollo's obsession with Esmeralda and terror of her having bewitched him comes across as self-rationalizing at best, if not downright delusional. And sentencing her to burn looks not merely disproportionate, but monstrous. But in medieval times, even a high-ranking public official and highly educated doctor of law would not be considered in any way unreasonable for believing that witchcraft and the Devil are very real things. Especially since he has seen her performing "magic" (smoke-and-mirrors tricks, to be sure, but he can't know that), and indeed the movie outright shows that demons really exist in this setting. By the standards of his own culture, fearing that a witch is using some sort of More Than Mind Control on him is not paranoid; back then, respected scholars literally wrote graduate theses on the techniques witches ostensibly used for such things. In such cases, the only way to save the victim was said to be to kill the witch, and/or burn the body and scatter the ashes (much as it often still is with vampires in modern fiction)—which is what the increasingly disturbed and desperate Frollo eventually tries to do. Subverted, however, in that he also tries to use the sentence for a Scarpia Ultimatum. That would be as unacceptable to medieval people as it would today, and indeed an indictable offense, then as now. Although his contemporaries might also excuse it as a symptom of the witch's (ostensible) mind control; that would then work as a plea of duress, or possibly a sort of temporary insanity defense, much as the Templar court handles the similar case of Brian de Bois-Guilbert and Rebecca in Ivanhoe. Either way, it would in any case most certainly disqualify him from presiding over her trial in a proper court of the time. | |

Saintly Church: The cathedral itself, since there are hints that it has a life of its own and is silently watching everything. The fact that a gargoyle on it comes to life to make Frollo fall to his death would back this up. That also applies to the three gargoyles. They were sent/brought to life to watch over Quasimodo, thus setting up all the events that have occurred through the film. Finally, Genius Loci (in the form of a patron saint) is Church doctrine. | |

Foreshadowing | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: "Remember, Quasimodo, this is your sanctuary." Quasimodo's speech mocking the idea that he could possibly be the hero- literally everything he says comes to pass by the end. Look at the scene where Frollo destroys Quasimodo's model of Paris. As he does so he picks up a wooden figure of Esmeralda and throws it, knocking over a figure of himself in the process. Also, aside from the obvious symbolism he's invoking by burning Esmeralda's figure, there is how he smashes all the other figures and the cathedral model in his rage; not only does this foreshadow his Villainous Breakdown later on, it specifically shows how he's willing to do anything, whether killing the citizens or attacking the cathedral itself, to get what he wants. When Phoebus first visits the belltower, an enraged Quasimodo effortlessly picks him up with one arm, showing his extraordinary strength when protecting those dear to him. The next time he becomes angry is when he sees Esmeralda about to be burned alive. Even before Frollo's first Wham Line below that leads to Phoebus' Heel–Face Turn, there are hints that he grows weary of Frollo's tactics to locate Esmeralda. One notable example is just before Frollo's raid at the windmill; Phoebus shakes his head in disgust when Frollo orders a group of gypsies to be thrown into the dungeon for not giving him information regarding Esmeralda's whereabouts. | |

Elite Mooks: Frollo's visored soldiers, who may be one of the most competent Disney henchmen in history. Compared to Frollo's more thuggish non-visored soldiers, these semi-faceless soldiers are far more menacing, skilled, and overall, very competent, and have effectively carried out Frollo's will, such as ambushing and arresting Roma, searching for Romani hiding places, shooting down Phoebus without hitting Frollo's horse, burning down most of Paris, and even when they were defeated by molten lead in the climax, they managed to damage the cathedral doors just enough so that Frollo can go after Quasimodo. The worst part is that there are a thousand of them at Frollo's command. | |

Leitmotif: The opening fanfare is reintroduced at the end of "Heaven's Light", makes up the melody during the chorus of "Hellfire", and plays in the instrumental "Sanctuary!" Also, along with "kyrie eleison", "dies irae" is also thrown in at times. "Dies irae" translates into "Day of Wrath". | |

Feminist Fantasy: The film transforms Esmeralda from the weak, fickle woman of the novel into being kind-hearted and street-smart. Even when she's in danger, she makes them regret it. Her role illustrates how unrealistic the Madonna–Whore Complex truly is, as all three men want her....but while Quasimodo sees her as a perfect angel and Frollo sees her as a wicked temptress, Phoebus sees and appreciates the person. When Frollo ties her to a stake and threatens to have her burned as a witch if she doesn't become his mistress, she responds by spitting in his face. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: The gargoyles' goofy jokes often seem out of place, especially when Frollo's running around trying to slaughter the Roma: Used intentionally in the "Heaven's Light/Hellfire" sequence: High among the clouds, Quasimodo sings a heartbreakingly beautiful song of love and hope, having finally found some acceptance and affection from Esmeralda, which segues immediately into Frollo all but masturbating over Esmeralda's scarf and fantasizing about burning her at the stake. Done in the Feast of Fools sequence. It starts out with a light-hearted, fun musical number, with a dance interlude from Esmeralda but once the song's over and Quasimodo has been crowned the King of Fools, some Jerkass in the crowd tosses a rotten vegetable at him to see if he can make Quasimodo any uglier. Clopin and the other cheerful characters abruptly disappear, replaced by a cruel mob that ties Quasimodo to a pillory and continues to verbally and physically abuse him until Esmeralda puts a stop to it and rescues him. In the beginning of the movie, the gargoyles successfully persuade Quasimodo to sneak out of the bell tower and enjoy himself at the Feast of Fools. Happy and confident, he talks about how he's going to get cleaned up, head right down those stairs, march right out that door — and then he runs smack dab into Frollo. In an instant, he's cowering and his stutter is very prominent. | |

Handicapped Badass: For a guy with a spine like a boomerang, Quasimodo is surprisingly nimble and strong. Not only can he lift a grown woman over his head, he broke solid iron chains with his bare hands. All this from years of ringing big, heavy bells and leaping around the cathedral (see Le Parkour below). | |

Inverted with Esmeralda personally; though she falls in love with Phoebus at first sight in the book, in this adaptation she's both distrusting but fascinated by Phoebus and doesn't necessarily fall for him until she witnesses him saving an innocent family from a burning house after refusing Frollo's order to burn it himself. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: Given that the film is set in Medieval Europe, this film has quite a bit of it. All of the characters refer to the Roma people as "gypsies", which is how they were called back in that time period instead of the Romani people. Quasimodo being mocked for being ugly was the norm for people born with birth defects. Phoebus is immediately sentenced to death when he rebels against Frollo. In the medieval era, soldiers were supposed to carry out any orders without hesitation, even if they were appalling. To a modern audience, Frollo's obsession with Esmeralda and terror of her having bewitched him comes across as self-rationalizing at best, if not downright delusional. And sentencing her to burn looks not merely disproportionate, but monstrous. But in medieval times, even a high-ranking public official and highly educated doctor of law would not be considered in any way unreasonable for believing that witchcraft and the Devil are very real things. Especially since he has seen her performing "magic" (smoke-and-mirrors tricks, to be sure, but he can't know that), and indeed the movie outright shows that demons really exist in this setting. By the standards of his own culture, fearing that a witch is using some sort of More Than Mind Control on him is not paranoid; back then, respected scholars literally wrote graduate theses on the techniques witches ostensibly used for such things. In such cases, the only way to save the victim was said to be to kill the witch, and/or burn the body and scatter the ashes (much as it often still is with vampires in modern fiction)—which is what the increasingly disturbed and desperate Frollo eventually tries to do. Subverted, however, in that he also tries to use the sentence for a Scarpia Ultimatum. That would be as unacceptable to medieval people as it would today, and indeed an indictable offense, then as now. Although his contemporaries might also excuse it as a symptom of the witch's (ostensible) mind control; that would then work as a plea of duress, or possibly a sort of temporary insanity defense, much as the Templar court handles the similar case of Brian de Bois-Guilbert and Rebecca in Ivanhoe. Either way, it would in any case most certainly disqualify him from presiding over her trial in a proper court of the time. | |

Rousing Speech: Phoebus in the climax.

At the very least, a pretty large section of Paris is burning because of Frollo's actions. | |

Oh, Crap!: In Frollo's introduction, Quasimodo's father reacts in fear upon seeing him. Frollo when he realizes his soul is in danger after the Archdeacon scolds him for killing Quasimodo's mother. Quasi when he suddenly runs into Frollo and then accidentally gives away his intention to attend the Festival of Fools. One of the gypsies very clearly has this expression when Frollo first arrives in the Court of Miracles. Frollo also has it after Quasimodo throws down a wooden block that smashes his carriage. Frollo when he comes face to face with the demon that drags him into the molten lead for his death, probably also realizing God has passed judgment on him. | |

What You Are in the Dark: When Frollo enters the cathedral and orders Phoebus to arrest Esmeralda, our hero whispers for her to claim sanctuary. At this point, she believes it was all a ruse to capture her and snarls under her breath "You tricked me...". Yet, Phoebus outright tells Frollo to his face Esmeralda claimed sanctuary, saving her from arrest. Even Esmeralda is surprised that despite her thinking he deceived her, Phoebus protected her. | |

Madonna-Whore Complex | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_b097493c | comment |
Madonna–Whore Complex: Deconstructed. Frollo considers Esmeralda as a Whore because she performs suggestive dances. He lusts after her but knows he can't have her because she is a Whore (plus he's bigoted against gypsies) so he decides to burn her if she refuses him. Meanwhile, Quasimodo is well-intentioned but only sees Esmeralda as a pure Madonna, heavily idealizing her since she saved him from humiliation and possible death—which does not mix well with the fact that Quasi has an extremely naive view of human relationships due to him living all of his life locked away from the world. Phoebus is attracted to both Esmeralda's kind heart and her alluring nature, so she chooses him because he's the only one that sees her as a proper human being with flaws and pros instead of just one thing or another. | |

Everyone Has Standards: It took very little incentive from a few guards to push the crowd of Parisian citizens to bully and mock Quasimodo. However, during the finale, they have clearly become disgusted by Frollo's parody of "justice". When he's about to burn Esmeralda, the crowd is clearly furious, with people shouting that she didn't do anything and she is innocent, and the guards are barely containing the uprising. (Also note that Esmeralda is an outcast among their society, yet they still pick her side.) It only takes a brief but inspiring speech from Pheobus to launch a full-blown revolt against Frollo. | |

Melancholy Musical Number: Esmeralda has sought sanctuary in the cathedral of Notre Dame from Judge Frollo and his minions.

Since her plight mirrors the prejudice and oppression of the Roma people in Paris, she sings God Help the Outcasts as a prayer for divine relief of the Roma living in the margins of French society. | |

Bothering by the Book: Frollo warns Phoebus to not disappoint him as the previous captain did. When Phoebus is ordered to arrest Esmeralda, he orders his men to surround her in the Festival, but obviously to discourage escape rather than beat down on her. After she escapes, he gives orders to search for her but not harm her and capture her alive. Then when he follows her into the cathedral, and they spar, he lies to Frollo that she claimed sanctuary and thus he cannot touch her. While Phoebus agrees with Esmeralda that what happened to Quasimodo was wrong, he still has to obey Frollo. He just doesn't want to be a dick about it. He finally outright defies Frollo when asked to burn down the miller and his family alive. | |

Morality Chain: There is only one thing keeping Frollo in check for a good 50% of the movie: the Archdeacon. He constantly reminds Frollo of his mortality, and also that even though he can deny his atrocities, he can never hide his crimes against the Almighty. He's constantly reminding Frollo of his place, but Frollo doesn't like it one bit. By the end of the film, not even the Archdeacon can hold him back. | |

In the stage version, it's not so Disney. She revives long enough to look at him and weakly say, "I... think you are a good friend", then dies, probably from carbon monoxide poisoning. All in all, the chain-yanking makes it worse than in Hugo's novel. | |

Big "NO!": Happens four times times in the climax. Played completely straight, given the horrific circumstances behind it. The first time is by Quasimodo when Frollo lights the stake to burn Esmeralda alive, the second by the people of Paris when they rebel against Frollo, the third when Frollo falls to his well-deserved death, and the fourth when Esmeralda loses grip on Quasimodo's arm and he only escapes falling to his death thanks to Phoebus. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Laverne near the end tells the pigeons that are always bugging her to "fly my pretties, fly, fly!" (which is a Beam Me Up, Scotty!), complete with the original backing music from The Wizard of Oz. Also a shout-out to one of Alfred Hitchcock's movies, The Birds. Quasi and the gargoyles' relationship (and the fact that they can move (and shoot crunched-up rocks at rapid fire speed) even though they may or may not be imaginary) is similar to the relationship of Calvin and Hobbes. "Out There" has references to no less than three previous Disney movies. Fellow France native Belle Belle is seen strolling along reading yet another book, Pumbaa is shown being carried through the street on a stick, and the Magic Carpet is draped over a man's arm. In addition, Jafar's old man disguise appears for a slapstick gag in the climax. Two of the gargoyles are named "Victor" and "Hugo". The climax, with the dramatic Notre Dame battle between Quasimodo, Esmeralda, and Frollo, may have been inspired by the end of Batman (1989), which has Batman, Vicki Vale, and The Joker in a very similar situation atop a gargoyle-filled Gotham Cathedral. And like the Joker, Frollo is sent to his doom by a gargoyle statue and Screams Like a Little Girl too. Both even had an ironic choice of last words (Frollo: "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!"; Joker: "Sometimes I just kill myself!") In the rare moments when Frollo smiles, he strikingly resembles the Joker. In the same scene as above, Frollo's revelation to Quasimodo on the truth of his mother seems identical to the moment Luke finds out what really happened to his father. Less dramatic, though. There are numerous shout-outs to both Singin' in the Rain and King Kong (1933) in Quasimodo's climbing and acrobatics throughout the film. Clopin's animator noticed how similar the music for "Court of Miracles" was to Dukas's L'apprenti sorcier (best known for its use in Fantasia), that at one point, he had Clopin dance and lift with his robe like Mickey. This melodic similarity is probably what led Alan Menken to change the melody for the song in the theatrical adaptation. One can hear the Goofy yell at one point during the film. | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The film remains ambiguous as to whether Quasimodo's gargoyle friends are really magical stone creatures that only Quasimodo can hear or just his imaginary friends. On one hand, no one else interacts with them (except for that quick kiss gag) but on the other hand, who pushed the catapult off if not them? The sequel however confirms that the gargoyles are real magical creatures and not Quasi's imagination; At the end, the Gargoyles are sad to lose Quasimodo and hope that Madellaine will take care of him. Then Madellaine winks at the Gargoyles and tells them she'll take good care of Quasi, causing the shocked gargoyles do to a literal Jaw Drop. Much like with Quasimodo, the gargoyle Frollo sees before he dies is either real or a hallucination brought on by his increasing madness. | |

Lighter and Softer: It's definitely lighter in tone than the book. Many of the elements and themes presented in the novel—like Quasimodo's hate and contempt for most people or Phoebus being a jerk trying to take advantage of an innocent young girl—were either changed or taken out completely. This is even more the case with the sequel in comparison to the original movie. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: During the climax, when Quasimodo has given up on trying to save Esmeralda and tells the gargoyles, who are trying to encourage him to save the day, to leave him alone, the gargoyles respond with disappointment. As they revert back to inanimate stone one by one, they deliver this powerful punch to the gut: | |

Villainous Face Hold: Frollo does this multiple times to Quasimodo. He grabs the face of an upset Quasimodo and forces him to look up at him whilst mocking him over his only friends being the stone gargoyles. He grabs Quasimodo's face again during the first part of "Out There", where, in an attempt to control Quasimodo, Frollo tells him he'll be killed if he ever leaves the bell tower. | |

Joker Jury | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_d61c0620 | comment |
Joker Jury: Quasimodo's and Phoebus' trial in the Court of Miracles. It is a mockery of Frollo's corruption of justice where the Roma are concerned, but ends up coming dangerously close to what it is mocking. This is reinforced when, while pronouncing sentence on Phoebus and Quasimodo ("I am the lawyers and judge all in one!"), one of Clopin's split-second costume changes is into a reasonable facsimile of Frollo's, though since he believes them to be Frollo's spies, he probably did it deliberately for the irony. | |

Race Lift: In the original novel Esmerelda was actually a white girl who was stolen by the Romani, and she was usually portrayed as white in adaptations. Here she is definitely Romani. Quasimodo also; in the novel, his parentage is unknown, but in this version, his mother is Romani (though Quasi doesn't look it, skin tone-wise). | |

While at the stake facing certain death, she spits onto Frollo's face and gives him a Kubrick Stare when he says, "Choose me or the fire." | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Phoebus as Captain of the Guard. When he enters Paris, he sees some guards harassing Esmeralda and accusing her of stealing the money she earned. He distracts them with Achilles's "antics" so she can get away, and then reveals he is the new captain before they can arrest him. When Quasimodo is humiliated and tied up in public, he asks permission from Frollo to step in and reluctantly obeys orders. He actually finds Esmeralda after Frollo orders her arrest, but talks her down from fighting him in the cathedral, and lies to Frollo that she claimed sanctuary so she can't be arrested. Then he asks Quasimodo to look out for her and apologizes for trapping her in the cathedral. Finally, when Frollo orders him to burn the miller and his family alive, Phoebus refuses and then dives into the burning mill to save everyone. When Frollo prepares to execute him for insubordination, Phoebus snarks, "Consider it my highest honor, sir." | |

Just Following Orders: Frollo reminds Phoebus that he was trained to follow orders after the latter refused to burn down a windmill with an innocent family locked inside. This just causes him to extinguish his torch in a water-butt and do a Heel–Face Turn (not that he was much of an antagonist anyway). | |

Esmeralda gives one to Frollo just after spitting in his face while tied to the stake. Later in that same scene, Frollo manages a chilling stare himself. From Esmeralda's point-of-view, she sees Frollo through the distorted air above the flames grinning maniacally through the smoke. | |

Due to the film more resembling the 1939 film than the book the character of Claude Frollo is a judge, which his brother Jehan (Called "John" in that film) was in the 1939 film, rather than the archdeacon that the character was in both the book and the 1939 film. | |

Jaw Drop | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_e4f05faa | comment |
The film remains ambiguous as to whether Quasimodo's gargoyle friends are really magical stone creatures that only Quasimodo can hear or just his imaginary friends. On one hand, no one else interacts with them (except for that quick kiss gag) but on the other hand, who pushed the catapult off if not them? The sequel however confirms that the gargoyles are real magical creatures and not Quasi's imagination; At the end, the Gargoyles are sad to lose Quasimodo and hope that Madellaine will take care of him. Then Madellaine winks at the Gargoyles and tells them she'll take good care of Quasi, causing the shocked gargoyles do to a literal Jaw Drop. | |

Mildly Military: Frollo's authority is vaguely defined and appears to have no limits, as it seems as far as the movie's concerned he is the Knight Templar dictator of Paris. He commands a sizable garrison in the city, and can slaughter suspects and burn property at will. The movie makes mention of the King and that there is a war that Phoebus was called back from. It's possible that the King is off leading the war effort and Frollo is in charge in his absence. | |

Lost in Imitation | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_ea24a918 | comment |
Lost in Imitation: The film is based quite strongly on the 1939 film version (which was itself based on the 1923 version with Lon Chaney), which is also one of the furthest from the book, with the overall story and plot structure being changed completely. It is still generally considered an enjoyable movie. The visual designs of Quasimodo, Frollo, Phoebus, the Archdeacon, and Frollo's guards strongly resemble their 1939 counterparts, as do their personalities. For example, Frollo is a judge rather than the archdeacon, and Phoebus is a genuinely heroic character rather than the jerkass he is in the novel. With that said, Esmeralda and Clopin have been completely reworked in both looks and temperament. The film also borrows some imagery from the 1939 film. The climax, in which Quasimodo rescues Esmeralda and then defends the cathedral from Frollo's guards, plays out very similarly to how it did in 1939; even specific shots are recreated, such as Quasimodo holding up Esmeralda and shouting "Sanctuary!" | |

The Grotesque: Quasimodo won a prize for being the ugliest person in Paris. Victor, Hugo, and Laverne, while repeatedly referred to as Gargoyles, are all actually technically Grotesques (a Gargoyle generally has a spout to convey water, while these three are apparently just decorational when in stone form. Grotesques are the correct name for the fantastical stone figures that often adorn buildings). This is entirely separate from the trope, however. | |

Done in the Feast of Fools sequence. It starts out with a light-hearted, fun musical number, with a dance interlude from Esmeralda but once the song's over and Quasimodo has been crowned the King of Fools, some Jerkass in the crowd tosses a rotten vegetable at him to see if he can make Quasimodo any uglier. Clopin and the other cheerful characters abruptly disappear, replaced by a cruel mob that ties Quasimodo to a pillory and continues to verbally and physically abuse him until Esmeralda puts a stop to it and rescues him. | |

Crowd Song | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f16f631d | comment |
Crowd Song: "Topsy Turvy" is the official song of the Festival of Fools and so is sung by many people there. The first few verses of God Help the Outcasts are sung by the regular congregants-selfish prayers for things "I can posess," to contrast Esmerelda's prayer for succour for the homeless. | |

Dark Reprise | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: Inverted by multiple melodies simply by switching between major and minor keys: The opening fanfare is in a minor key, as is "Hellfire", but the endings of "The Bells of Notre Dame" and "Heaven's Light" are in parallel and relative major keys respectively. The melody of the verses of "Out There" is repeated throughout the score in a minor key. (See Leitmotif for a list of instances.) Whether or not this is an inversion, or if the trope is played straight here, could be debated, as the minor key is heard on the soundtrack twice before the actual song. | |

Together in Death | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: Done very subtly in the climax. After Quasimodo is left hanging off the Notre Dame balcony, Esmeralda tries to help him up to no avail. As Frollo towers over her ready to strike down with his sword, the look on Esmeralda's face shows that although she's terrified, she would rather die alongside Quasi than let him fall to his death to save her own skin. | |

Cope by Pretending | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f7512035 | comment |
Cope by Pretending: Quasimodo spends practically his entire life in the belltower because his "adoptive father" Judge Frollo refuses to let the world see how ugly he truly is, and is really only caring for Quasi to atone for murdering his mother. Judge Frollo and the three gargoyles are Quasimodo's only company, so he spends most of his time fantasizing that he is a normal person interacting with the people of Paris. | |

Punished for Sympathy | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f770e79d | comment |
Punished for Sympathy: Frollo orders Phoebus to burn down a mill with the miller and his family still inside. Not only does Phoebus refuse, but when Frollo sets the fire himself, he goes in to rescue the family. Frollo would have had him executed for treason right then and there, had Esmeralda not come to the rescue. | |

Homeschooled Kids | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f8014e64 | comment |
Homeschooled Kid: Poor Quasimodo—Frollo royally sucks as a teacher, seeing that Quasimodo is still learning the alphabet at age 20. Then again, this is set at a time when most people were completely illiterate, so he's still ahead of the curve. It's possible that he's purposefully not teaching Quasimodo everything so he could keep him as uneducated as possible. He doesn't want Quasi to get any ideas... (after all, "damnation" is listed twice). | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: When the crowd turns on Quasimodo at the end of "Topsy Turvy", Clopin immediately disappears, despite having been present through the whole number, as well as crowning Quasimodo and putting him up on the stage. This is subverted later when Clopin turns out an intimidating leader of the gypsies, and also becomes part of the captives set to be burnt at the stake. Double-subverted with the gargoyles, who jump right into the battle for Notre Dame, but disappear during the final confrontation with Frollo. | |

Pet the Dog | |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame / Disney / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Averted. Frollo sparing Quasimodo's life in the prologue and raising him might have been an act of kindness for an otherwise wicked person and even become a redeeming factor, if his reasoning wasn't screwed up in the first place and he did right by it. Frollo twists it around for the following reasons: First off, he only does it after the Archdeacon tells him to. Second, he does it simply because he fears God may punish him for his sins, despite denying he sinned at all. Third, he refuses to allow Quasi into his household, and exiles him to the belltower for the rest of his life. Fourth, he simply sees Quasi as a pawn he may use later on, and never truly accepts him as his son. Fifth, he lies about the death of Quasi's mother instead of revealing the truth when Quasi's ready that he raised him to atone for her death. Sixth, he's emotionally abusive towards Quasi, drilling it into his head that he's just a monster whom no one but him could "love". | |
