I love the juxtaposition between Quasimodo and Frollo: Frollo sings “stay in here” Quasi sings “out there” Quasi sings “Heavens Light” Frollo sings “Hellfire” And of course quasi sings tenor and Frollo Baritone
Some facts about this movie: 1) Esmeralda is the second Disney character who prays (the first being Snow White). 2) It is the first Disney movie where the word CURSE is used. 3) It is implied that gargoyles are Quasimodo's imaginary friends, but in the sequel there is another character able to see them come alive
Quasimodo is the only human character to perceive the gargoyles being alive. I have always had the theory that Quasimodo imagines the gargoyles coming to life out of his extreme loneliness.
@@stefannydvorak7919 sorry im being crazy unclear I meant there’s no archdeacon / Frollo distinction so that is the name of the arch deacon but not the Public official and the arch deacon So they are one in the same character and the antagonist rather than 2 different characters to parallel religious virtue and corruption
Frollo and his song Hellfire are considered the greatest Disney villain and villain song. The choir are actually singing in Latin so during Hellfire when Frollo is singing “It’s not my fault” the robed guys are saying the “Through my fault. Through my most grievous fault”. Tom Hulce who plays Quasimodo was Amadeus in the film of the same name. Demi Moore is Esmerelda, Kevin Kline is Phebus. This was turned into in a off broadway musical and was supposed to have gone to Broadway, but Disney didn’t want to pay the choir costs so Frozen went to Broadway instead. During the opening sequence when Frollo looks around at all of the Statues of Notre Dame and it goes to the Virgin Mary’s eyes when the lightning flashes you see her eyes open. During the Out There sequence you can see Belle reading a book, a man with the carpet from Aladdin, and two men carrying Pumbaa. Everyone agrees the Gargoyles and their song is the weakest part of the film. The people who directed this film (Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise) directed Beauty and the Beast and would go on to direct Atlantis the Lost Empire. In the original book everyone died- Quasimodo, Frollo, Phebus, and Esmerelda and Frollo was a priest in the original book. The song writers were Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.
Yes!! Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame completely stunned me when I first saw it. I did not realize it would be near that great. I remember being skeptical of the trailer and the idea of Disney adapting the story. I came out of the theater saying that is the best Disney animated movie that has been released in my lifetime.
A nice touch during the song Hellfire is that those robed figures are chanting a Latin phrase that translates to "My fault. My most grievous fault." It's part of the mass, called "Confiteor" or "I confess", which the whole point of is to confess to your sins as a flawed human being and pray for mercy and guidance. It highlights how Frollo's delusion of righteousness and virtue flies completely contrary to the actual points and teachings he tries to hide behind that he continues to defend and deny in the face of those own teachings and lessons being turned against him and it being shouted in his face that he is the one in the wrong. Even his first lines in the song show this off. "Of my virtue I am justly proud" "I'm so much better than the common crowd" That is the textbook definition of pride and vanity as a sin since virtue is the bare minimum a person should do and is not a monumental thing to take such pride and glory in, and he fully displays that vanity while trying to call himself virtuous and ask for salvation without admitting it's all his own fault he's on this path or considering changing his ways to save himself even when he knows what he's doing will send him on the path to damnation.
@@latenightswithsammy oh I want to recommend that you react to Cinderella 3: a twist in time. It is at the very least, alot of fun. Cinderella 2 is more of short stories coming together in one movie.
If you are disappointed Quasimodo doesn't end up with Esmeralda, remember she wasn't his original goal but freedom and being loved in general was and he ended up having it, furthermore he idolized her which, even if it is better than what Frollo felt for her, wasn't treating her like a human either (he called her an angel and perfect) and was mostly motivated emotion-wise because she had been kind, whereas Pheobus treated her like an equal human being. So in the end Quasimodo understands they are better for each other
Only one minor nitpick: it's not so much that Quasi recognized Phoebus would be "better", but more acknowledging Esmeralda is a free agent and respecting her decisions as a human being regardless of how he feels.
When I first saw Quasimodo in the movie, I never saw him as a hideous monster. That scene with the bird totally showed perfectly that there's more personality behind his face.
Yeah as I was watching this, I was struck by how soft and gentle Quasi’s voice and mannerisms are. They really casted the voice actor well and did great animating him to make him so sweet and likable
"All of us rooting for one person to get her"...? She's not a piece of furniture, you know...? No one needs to "get" her or "win" her as if she was some sort of prize or inanimate object. Also, the fact that Quasi was nice to Esmeralda and even saved her doesn't mean she has to develop romantic feelings for him. She was nice to everyone and helped others too, and she didn't seem to be expecting sex in return. I know a tone of men in my life that have been so nice and gentle to me, who have helped me out on so many occasions. Should they all be my boyfriends now? I guess I should have to have 200 husbands or something? The whole concept of 'friendzone' as this terrible thing that some guys talk about is very hurtful and unrealistic I think. Lucky guy the one who'd get a friend as loyal, smart, fun and brave as Esmeralda. :)
I think you'd enjoy watching the two most well-known earlier versions: The 1923 silent starring Lon Chaney, and the 1939 version starring Charles Laughton as Quasimodo and Maureen O'Hara as Esmerelda.
I visited the cathedral a few years ago. Beautiful building with architecture and a great view over Paris. I also read Victor Hugo's original novel. Don't get me wrong, I like both the novel and the movie. Even if the novel has a sad ending, a happy ending from a movie can really lift your spirits up.
@Late Nights with Sammy R.I.P. Tony Jay (1933-2006) Voice Of Judge Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame an amazing and chilling performance singing Hellfire
If you think this movie is dark, you should read the book. I'm really surprised Disney took on this film adaptation. Fun Fact: For the scene where Judge Frollo sings "Hellfire" and sees Esmeralda dancing in the fire before him, the MPAA insisted that the Disney animators make Esmeralda's clothing more well-defined, as she seemed nude. The song itself is considered one of the darkest songs written for a Disney film, and was nearly cut from the film.
Frollo (I wish): Quasimodo, I can't lie to you. You're not exactly easy on the eyes. Neither am I, but i know when to leave a party before it gets ugly. The first time you step out of this bell tower shouldn't be today, at festival time. I know it looks like a lot of fun from up here, but trust me, it gets old, fast. The whole city gets to do whatever they please, without any consequences. They get drunk, they get stupid, they get violent. I don't want to see you get hurt. Maybe tomorrow, we can open your horizons a bit, but not today, son. Please, not today.
This is probably one of my fave Disney films of all time. Thanks for watching. You should check out the musical. It’s even better. It’s more attuned to the book too.
Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is my favorite Disney movie ever Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame is an amazing Disney movie about the music and Disney Animation 🎞🔔🎥📽🎬
In the scene where they threw fruit at him, in the book and most other live action films, and the off Broadway musical, Quasimodo was actually flogged. So it was even worse.
Killing a mother and baby trying to claim sanctuary in a Church might be the most blasphemous thing you can do. Especially while claiming you are doing it for God. But what is so disturbing is how realistic Frollo is. Hellfire gives a lot of insight as to how people like that think in the real world. Finally, the guy playing Frollo has a very good singing voice. Hellfire is my favourite Disney song, even though I despise Frollo
OK, I tried to watch this but it is such a travesty and insult to the original story that I only made it 8 minutes. I know Disney "softens up" some harsh edges in these stories but this is unwatchable for me.

What would be your A, B, C's for Quasimodo? 🤔

B for breasts
C for coitus

A very believable theory my friend! 🙂
In the book that’s the case, they are imaginary friends
There is also no Frollo in the book, the villain is the arch deacon
@@richardlevy1459 There absolutely is a Frollo in the book.

Judge Claude Frollo is still to this day the darkest & cruelest Disney villain
He's an amazing character ... what a interesting internal conflict 🙂

Thanks for this. Not enough people react to this
Yes on all fronts! This film has it all, and I thank y'all for recommending it 🙂
I also really liked Phoebus in the movie, because in the novel he's a depicted as a perverted jerk.
Very good point here 👆 And he saved Quasimodo!
This is my favorite movie of all time 😍
Quasimodo is one of my favorite characters of all time and Out there is my favorite Disney song!!!

Brought to you by Disney starring Quasimodo. The son of a gypsy family who are murdered by his captor turned "master" Minister Frollo
YES! Awesome plot 🙂

THANK GOODNESS THEY KEPT THE SONG ... It is one of the most impressive depictions of internal conflict I've seen on a Disney flick 😆
I agree. "The Bells Of Notre Fame" and "Hellfire" are the two best songs of the movie, hands down.
AGREED!
Among songs, I also appreciate The Court Of Miracles, Topsy-Turvy, and God Help The Outcasts. The entire soundtrack is very well done.

Quasi looks exactly the same. It's just that people learn to see him for what he is: a good man.
