Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_16178c64	type	Gratuitous Spanish
Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_16178c64	comment	Gratuitous Spanish: An odd case. The city is called "El Paris", there are Spanish signs everywhere, but it was obviously filmed in Paris, and everyone speaks French otherwise.

Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_23568a2a	type	Adaptational Job Change
Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_23568a2a	comment	Adaptational Job Change: Phoebus is a police captain in this version, although it's more or less analogous to the medieval captain of the guard the character originally is. Trouillefou (Clopin Trouillefou in the novel) is the leader of Paris' thieves, vagabonds and beggars in the novel. Here he's a shady trafficker.

Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_e3bdea5c	comment	Artistic License – Politics: There is no such thing as a "governor" for French cities (the closest would be prefect technically, in practice it sounds closer to mayor — mayors can be limitlessly reelected and the governor has ruled El Paris for over 20 years), although El Paris is a fictional city to begin with.

Quasimodo d'El Paris / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: Quasimodo's upper class biological parents are complete assholes who did everything they could to abandon him once he started becoming The Grotesque (his father caused him to become this in the first place), and eventually replaced him with Esmeralda (and they bought her, on top of this). Nothing is Played for Drama, but they still come off as even worse than, say, the Cobblepots in Batman Returns.
