Notice how Quasi still holds onto him and doesn’t just let him fall to his death, even after Frollo revealed to him that he killed his mother. “Who is the monster and who is the man?” Is an easily answered question.
The great irony is, if Frollo hadn't tried to kill them afterwards, he would have survived. And by falling at the precise moment he did, Quasimodo was able to be rescued from death by Febus.
I only just realized why Quasimodo lost consciousness so quickly: his hunchback means he has smaller lungs than most. When it comes to parkouring around the cathedral, he's more of a sprinter than a marathon runner, and he just got done repelling an invasion on Notre Dame. The smoke inhalation wouldn't have helped matters, either.
Great insight Quasi was physically strong but he had to be exhausted by this point in the story (also emotionally like dude just realized his "boss" straight up murdered his mom!)
The gargoyle coming to life and falling along with Frollo is an excellent touch. It feels like it's the Devil himself, taking the sinner to the flames of Hell.
I don't think so because gargoyles are supposed to ward off evil so when Frollo was truly revealed as evil in those moments, the gargoyle came to life in its own way and did it's job. That's just my theory though
1:35 I've always loved how quickly Esmerelda's face turns from fear to disgust. It's such a small animation detail, but you gotta love how much effort the animators put into the film.
@@dragonstormx And what's worse for Frollo is that he's trying to murder two people in the church of the one woman he feared yet begged for protection: Beata Maria, aka Blessed Mary. As in Holy Mary, Mother of God. He constantly forgotten that Notre Dame is her house.
Honestly, the thing I love most about the scene is how the gargoyle seems to come alive to frighten Frollo. For those who don't know, the reason gargoyles were built on churches and other buildings was to scare off demons and evil spirits, meaning that even though Frollo called himself a holy man and a servant to God, he was the farthest thing from it.
Which is silly because nowhere in the Bible does it teach that gargoyles will scare away anything evil. They look like demons themselves and demons certainly don't scare away demons. It would have made sense to put angels all over the building instead. Angels are terrifying to Demons
And you know what's worse for Frollo? In "Hellfire" he is begging "Beata Maria" to protect him. Beata Maria is Mary, Holy Mother of God. Notre Dame, meaning "Our Lady," is HER church. It was HER eyes staring down at him that ultimately scared him during "Bells of Notre Dame," more so than the saints. She has been watching Frollo for 20 years and had given him the chance to change for the better within her walls, but he never did. Not to Quasimodo and not to Esmeralda. *She* sent Frollo to his death: the one Woman Frollo ultimately feared
What I love about Quasimodo vs Frollo was the difference in how they treated Esmerelda. Quasimodo undoubtedly related to her lower status in life, but more importantly, after he realized his initially romantic feelings for her would not be reciprocated, he accepted it. And when he saved Esmerelda, it was like a brother rescuing a sister. Frollo, however, descended deeper into insanity and darkness, and burned with lust over Esmerelda. In the end, he exposed himself as a monster, and tried to kill her and Quasimodo when it was clear Esmerelda would never agree to be with him.
@@a.g.demada5263, honestly, Quasimodo & Esmeralda are the Disney equivalent of Harry & Hermione from the Harry Potter movies, meaning that they're not soulmates, but they are like brother & sister.
@@joshmontemayor1212 I disagree about Harry and Hermione (because I wanted to see them as a couple) but Esmeralda was the first woman to be nice with him (except the gargoyle La Volière) and she looks like his mother (a bit).
I find it fitting that Frolo fell to his death face-to-face with a Gargoyle. Despite their appearance, Gargoyles are usually said to be benevolent creatures that ward off evil spirits and demons, which is why you find them on so much old gothic architecture. And as you probably noticed, the gargoyle seemed to come to life just before Frolo fell to his death. IDK, I just thought that was cool.
The choir backing most of this scene is phenomenal, I love the choir used in this movie, they use the same motif but just with some tone changes it becomes something sadder, or more dramatic.
In the scene at 1:33, you can see the color contrast between the orange and red of the fiery depths below and the faint blue-ish light of the Notre Dame. Possibly a subtle representation of heaven and hell. If Frollo had, at first, climbed back onto the balcony and then tried to attack Esmerelda, he would have succeeded. Instead, he chose to attack Esmerelda. I think this is representing him choosing his obsession over his better self and thus losing his final chance of redemption. Also, gargoyles were believed to scare away evil spirits. In this shot, it makes sense they are pointed at "hell", to keep them at bay. But one gargoyle instead found another evil, who needed to go back into the fiery pit.
I feel like he gave up that chance in ‘Hellfire’. The guard who informs him that Esmerelda has escaped is bathed in white light. Almost a divine shadow contrasting against the harsh and aggressive flames of hell. He tells the guard to go and makes his final decision to go down the path of sin. He chooses the flames of hell and begs god for forgiveness not for what he has done, but for what he was about to do.
@@aviatorhd9389 also the guard appears from seemly nowhere and knows that she had escaped when it was shown that no other guard knew this so as people have stated It was probably a angel appearing from god or as I like to imagine god himself intervening but frollo rejects him and the guard disappears
Two things I didn’t realize until recently. 1. If the gargoyle Frollo was standing on didn’t break he likely would’ve won. 2. The visual metaphor of Frollo seeing the demon smile on the gargoyle as he falls into the “firey pit” is almost like he’s being dragged to Hell.
In my personal opinion, frollo still has the best fall death scene. I know that Disney villains fall all the time, but frollo’s fall hits different. We know he’s falling into molten metal, but from the view they showed is and the gargoyle coming to life taking him as he falls, he was falling straight to hell.
I think it's the symbolism that makes the fall so epic. Frollo tests God by placing himself on God's level to exact Judgment, and God responds by sending Frollo to Hell because God's done with the evil Frollo does in His name.
I recently watched this movie for the first time, and about a week later, I watched it with my whole family (I'd watched it while I was home alone the first time). At the part where Frollo falls down into the lava, my brother mentioned, "I don't think that was the street below..." I'd never thought of it that way, but he actually made a pretty good point.
@@marcusblackwell2372 exactly. I think the scene's kind of open for interpretation, but I thought the way my brother saw it was interesting - I wouldn't have thought of that myself.
@@carlottarobbins7005 Yeah i thought that as well, the molten copper and fiery courtyard is a metaphor/allegory for hellfire Also in folklore gargoyles were meant to ward off evil so it’s also kind of interesting that it’s a demonic gargoyle that carries Frollo basically into Hell.
To be fair, if a noted public official who was once held in high regard but had visibly decended into madness was swinging a freaking sword at people atop my local church, which he had also shown great disrespect to, I'd probably stop what I was doing and watch too.
@@ariadnefrolich7243this would be like if Bernie sanders was swinging a machete at some Italian guy who was carrying Janet Jackson, all of this happening on the roof of the fucking Vatican.
@@silence6813 aye I never thought of that. It’s also ironic because he believes that by killing/imprisoning the gypsies he be let into heaven because he thinks that he’s doing gods work. And then when the gargoyle comes to life it’s obviously a demon and he is being sent to hell because he goes straight down into lava.
@@Afeeder Exactly, Plus he said he shall smite the wicked and plunge them in the firey pit. The moment the gargoyle came to life it was like it was saying to Frollo "You are the true wicked one who will be smite and now I'll plunge you into the fiery pit of lava below."
Gargoyles come alive to ward off evil, Frollo wasn't just evil he was an absolute demon, so quite fitting that he went to Hell via a load of molten iron!
What I find absolutely ironic about frollo’s last moments is that throughout the movie, he always had this self righteous attitude where he was above everyone except for god, who he held in such high reverence. However, his last words were a prophetic quote “and HE shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit.” With HE referring to god, and he then proceeds to attempt to carry out that prophecy and smite who he perceived as the wicked. Frollo in his last moments took up the mantle of god and tried to carry out his will. That falls under the most dangerous sin, pride. And like the arrogant false god he perceived himself to be, he was cast out of the holy sanctuary of notre dame and plummeted into the raging inferno below, a hell of his own creation. Lots of parallels to Lucifer.
In reality it was a "SHE" who smites him Notre Dame is the church of Lady Mary, Mother of God, the one woman Frollo feared most of all. The one whose protection he once begged to have, but no matter what he did, she could not grant it. Frollo killed an innocent mother on her church's steps, he saw Mary's eyes looking down at him *from stone* warning him of his fate.
Frollo's own choices often lead to his own demise. He had no one to blame but himself, despite doing everything he could to blame everyone BUT himself. Poetic. This movie is just an absolute masterpiece.
I'm aware that the whole comment section mocked Frollo's last words, but there's a hidden gem which makes the death scene of this villain hilarious bordering on ridiculous. Turn your smartphone upside down the moment the gargoyle breaks off (1:48). Congratulations, you have just turned it into a stone rocket and launched Frollo to a sky on fire (alternatively, the surface of the Sun)!
1:00 I love the animation here. The wind, the pose, the distant fire casting shadows, the moment itself. He looks the best he ever looked, as if he's "free" from his personal burden and to act like the piece of shit he really is.
The actor who dubbed Frollo did an excellent job! In the bit when the statue growls, Frollo's voice sounded terrified! I saw a few dubs and most of them just wanted to give a loud scream, but in this dub he sounds terrified and almost as if he wants to clumb up but is too petrified to move!
If we keep rebelling against God and doing evil things, then he will step back and let the devil have us. Good thing Jesus came to save us when we give him the chance.
I tend to believe that it was Mary Notre Dame is her church. It was her statue's eyes that Frollo showed the most fear of. And he even begged for her protection in "Hellfire." He never called for the Lord because...well, he believed himself to be the Lord, or at the very least, his avatar. She showed him he wasn't anything
Frollo: "And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" Satan: "That my que?" God: "I tried to warn him 20 years ago, and ever since. A man reaps what he sows. He's yours." Satan: 1:45
Mary: He murdered an innocent woman on my doorstep. I sent one of my people to stop him from killing another, but it seems no matter how hard we've tried, he will not atone. He has no place here. Quasi's Mother: *silently watches her killer fall into hell where he thought she would go simply because she was a gypsy*
It's a small detail but I absolutely love that Esmeralda is still holding on to Quasi even when it looks like Frollo will literally cut her in half right before Frollo falls to his death. Quasi was unconscious so holding his weight must have been staggering (even as strong as she was...she just had a heck of smoke inhalation) and when he does slip from her grasp thank god Phoebus was there! She truly loved Quasi ❤️ what a great film.😊
Romantic love can come and go, but familial love is forever Quasi thought he found a romantic partner in Esmeralda, but what he actually found were true family members: the one thing he *truly* needed. A Family. Not the false image Frollo fed him for 20 years.
"And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!" I imagine the big man was trying to be patient, trying to let Frollo see the error of his ways. But after 20 years, nothing. And that last bit of blasphemy was what pissed off the big man.
00:52-1:00 Frollo finally admitting to Quasimodo that his mother did not abandon him, but he killed his mother. Quasimodo was shocked and betrayed that he was raised by the man who murdered his mother and was lied to all his life by the man who he loved and looked up to as a father figure.
“And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit” is such an ironic quote from Frollo of all people It reminds me of the quote from the start of the film “he saw corruption everywhere, except within” because Frollo is so desperate to look like a “good guy” that he ends up being a villain
Frollo: “And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!” God: “Joke’s on you, ‘cause My Will right now is ensuring you endanger the City of Paris no more. By the way, would you mind greeting Satan for Me down there?”
I’d argue there really hasn’t been a Disney OST that has topped it. The soundtrack from the burning scene right up to Frollo’s poetic death is absolutely breathtaking.
Funny in the Latin American spanish dub of Robin Hood, Friar Tuck actually says: GET OUT OF THE HOUSE OF GOD! Which in context, it works here with Frollo
He definitely had a soul, at least initially, considering how much he agonizes over his sinful thoughts in “Hellfire”. Of course, he keeps trying to deflect the blame onto Esmeralda and at one point onto God Himself (“It’s not my fault, if in God’s plan, He made the devil so much stronger than a man.”), but the fact that his sinful thoughts about Esmeralda caused him so much inner turmoil at some point shows that he was not quite beyond salvation yet. Having said that, Frollo officially threw away all hope for his own salvation the moment he decided to give in to his sinful desires, especially once he started effectively declaring war on the House of God just to get to Esmeralda. From that point on, whatever remnants of Frollo’s soul were left by that point (after all the wholesale persecution and mass murder he oversaw in Paris) finally withered and decayed until finally it was time for him to go to hell.
1:12 This shot is pervectly depicted. The only thing that stops Frollo from literally being send to hell was Quasimodo. It was done because he had cared for him. He done it because he had a little glimps of goodness at the beginning -yes, even Frollo. Otherwise he wouldn't care for Quasimodo. Despite all evil he done he wasn't yet to be send to hell. He still got a chance as every sinner has. But he disclaimed Quasimodo by trying to kill him - twice even after Quasimodo was ready to forgive him. He wanted to destroy phisical depiction of his own goodness, which little he had. By this Frollo sealed his fate by his own will. He was send to hell.
no, quasimodo did not try to save frollo because he still loved him. He knew that frollo was only lying, using him, and manipulating him at that moment. He only tried to save him to show he is not a monster like the latter
I think I finally know why Frollo's eyes & teeth turned a demonic orange color: the gargoyle Frollo stood on came to life with orange eyes & a demonic orange mouth and then it scared him. I think that the demonic gargoyle exposed the evilness inside Frollo's soul.
His death could be interpreted as divine intervention; the gargoyle, being a symbol of God, judges Frollo as the true wicked and casts him into Hell, symbolized by the molten copper. The gargoyle coming to life and demonically roaring at him could be showing him what he’s in store for. Ironically, Frollo suffered what he most feared: the damnation of his soul.
I really like how Esmeralda rarely shows fear in Frollo's face. Even as he is about to kill her, she shows more disgust than fear, as if to say "I can't believe people like you exist."
@@philosopherscribe39 That's what Family does for one another. Quasi may have thought it was romantic love he was feeling, but it was actually familial. She gave him what Frollo never wanted to give him: a family.
@1:15 you can see Quasimodo has no hatred in his heart towards him, otherwise he would've dropped him in the fire. One of the most kind hearted Disney characters
Frollo is one of the worst kinds of villains: the kind that don’t get that they are the bad guy while believing he is the good guy. It just proves what I learned after watching Ms. Marvel. Good and bad aren’t what we are, they’re what we do.
He's one of the best-written and most detestable villains because basically, he's real; he has no supernatural powers or magic of any kind. He is an old man driven by power and religion to do what he thinks is right. He's the kind of villain you actually see in real life.
Quasimodo: shit hes going to find me... Frollo: hmm... F- Quasimodo: FESTIVAL... FUCK! Frollo: You were thinking of going to the festival *attacks with sword*
She's not scared of him: she's absolutely disgusted by him. It's a blink-and-you-miss, but just before the scene goes to Frollo Esmeralda's face transforms from fear to disgust.
Frollo repeatedly broke the Third Commandment: *"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain."*
Yup. Let's not forget "you shall not commit murder, you shall not lie, you shall not commit adultery" (lust=adultery to Jesus in Matthew 5). May we come into relationship with God and examine our hearts to stay away from these sins.
@@jamesgizasson honestly I wouldn't feel bad for it I imagine it got a nice calm place up in heaven possible on a person house because it liked that person atleast to me I like to imagine thats what happened
this ending was just mmm! Delicious. The gargoyle's face changing to a demon's at the end! This movie was the reason I fell in love with Greogrian chant and Choral music
There's a part of me that wonders how the viewing experience would have been if we, too, along with Quasimodo, just NOW learned that Frollo actually killed his mother. We know from the get-go that Frollo lies to him about her abandoning him, but I can't help but wonder if that reveal wouldn't have been more effective had it been delayed 'til now. My only reservation with that though is that the opening sequence of this film is so badass you hate to tamper with it.
@@vincently1995 You can add Alec Trevelyan’s death in GoldenEye as well. Being dropped by James Bond from THAT height at the bottom of the antenna cradle and shattering your spine while your instrument of destruction explodes and collapses on top of you is quite a brutal way to go.
One thing reminds me of Jim Told Master grace truth about the old man kills Elizabeth's death with poison drink from Disney's The Haunted Mansion with Eddie Murphy star.
This movie is amazing, the voice acting, drama, action, animation, music and villain are top tier. The main characters are good and thr story is dark and engaging. Yes people complain about the tone and the gargoyles but to me I didnt mind it too much because other Disney films have tone issues like lion King but that was still good to. The films pacing is really good as well. Too underrated if you ask me.
The thing I love most about this movie is that it dealt with an incredibly sensitive topic (genocide and religious horror) without antagonizing the religion either. They have this truly evil religious figure say that God will plunge the wicked into the pit of fire, and he does. Frollo's death here was an act of God. It wouldn't have been as potent if one of them had killed him, or even if he'd tripped and fallen by mistake. The movie poses the question "who is the monster and who is the man?" and gives the most decisive answer I've ever seen by having their antagonist die by divine intervention. Usually I like more open ended finales. Things that leave you with questions and choices, but this one spent the whole movie showing you how evil this man is, and they will end it in that decisive fashion too. God shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the firey pit.
Well said. In fact the Bible is full of people who feared God, and some stuck with God while others fell away and became some of the worst villains who still believed they were in God's favor. Look at King Saul versus King David. Both committed grievous sins, the only difference between the two was that David repented and came back to God while Saul only felt sorry for himself and committed suicide. Or like Peter versus Judas who betrayed Jesus. Even though Peter denied Christ three times, he cried bitterly and repented and Jesus restored him. But Judas never went back to Jesus and also committed suicide. And let's not talk about King Ahab and queen Jezebel😅
1:48 for those who have seen or at least herd of The Owl House, Since Disney owns this, this should be how LuzAura Finishes off Emperor Belos in the climax of The Owl House.
It's not a coincidence or divine intervention that the gargoyle collapsed. If you look closely, it gave way because Frollo cut it. Disney/Pixar villains- the ones that die- almost always lose their lives as a result of their own actions.
Gargoyles are supposed to ward off evil and protect the innocent. Victor, Hugo and Irene are nice and friendly to Quasimodo because he has a pure soul. They helped him protect Esmeralda because she was innocent of any wrong doings and was in a sacred building. So if a Gargoyle head appeared before Frollo as vicious and growling, it's because he was indeed the evil one. And it's possible the Gargoyle head deliberately detached itself from Notre Dame so it could send Frollo to where he belongs: Hell.
Just a tiny correction: the third gargoyle's name is Laverne, not Irene lol. Also if you look closely, the gargoyle Frollo was standing on was the same on he himself had cut into moments before. So it was already weakened and then further collapsed under his weight. Frollo did it to himself, and in that final moment, the church reminded him of that.
Quasimodo not letting go of Frollo's cloak is the most heartbreaking and marvellous addition to this phenomenal scene. Jesus once spoke of forgiveness of our enemies... And the greatness of Quasi's love saved him at the end. Also, you can notice how deformed everything in the human world is in this scene. When Frollo dives into the fire, there is no Paris streets underneath - only fire and smoke, as if it's Hell itself. So thrilling.
The gargoyle roaring at Frollo was brilliant. It’s like as if the Devil himself is striking him down, that Frollo’s is the soul he wants, not Quasi’s or Esmerelda’s.
Gargoyles funny enough are servants of the forces of good. Their faces are the way they are to scare away evil. If you are attacked or carried off by a gargoyle, then you must be evil. It's too bad today's modern world they are mistaken as evil themselves. So, it's not the Devil himself who is striking him down, it's the Lord giving him Frollo since Frollo was never a good man to begin with. The Devil accepts him because, to him, Frollo is a gift from above.
i love that frolo's undoing is him quoting the bible like a righteous man as hes about to commit murder on the sacred cathedral ground again. the cathedral its self turns on him and casts the wicked into the fiery pit haha
I find it interesting but not surprising how Frollo didn't even acknowledge Quasimodo's kindness to not drop him in the fire, so when Frollo says "he shall smite the wicked" there's no excuse for him not to understand that Quasi is not wicked (not that there was ever any excuse) but this was just like the final straw so that's when God takes Frollo out (if you interpret the gargoyle seeming to come to life and falling as divine intervention).
In the Book of Romans chapter 1, it actually describes that if you fight God long enough and descend to deeper depths of evil, God will step back and literally let the devil have you.

And I guess that Frollo STILL trying to kill Quasi and Esmeralda despite that must be the last straw for Him.
because while frollo may be a monster, quasi doesnt want to be like him
"What makes the monster and what makes the man"
Honestly, the thing I love most about the scene is how the gargoyle seems to come alive to frighten Frollo. For those who don't know, the reason gargoyles were built on churches and other buildings was to scare off demons and evil spirits, meaning that even though Frollo called himself a holy man and a servant to God, he was the farthest thing from it.
Which is silly because nowhere in the Bible does it teach that gargoyles will scare away anything evil. They look like demons themselves and demons certainly don't scare away demons. It would have made sense to put angels all over the building instead. Angels are terrifying to Demons
Especially when he just admitted to Quoisimoto after he saved Esmeralda that he killed his MOTHER 💀
How right you are.
And you know what's worse for Frollo?
In "Hellfire" he is begging "Beata Maria" to protect him. Beata Maria is Mary, Holy Mother of God. Notre Dame, meaning "Our Lady," is HER church. It was HER eyes staring down at him that ultimately scared him during "Bells of Notre Dame," more so than the saints.
She has been watching Frollo for 20 years and had given him the chance to change for the better within her walls, but he never did. Not to Quasimodo and not to Esmeralda.

In the end, he exposed himself as a monster, and tried to kill her and Quasimodo when it was clear Esmerelda would never agree to be with him.

Despite their appearance, Gargoyles are usually said to be benevolent creatures that ward off evil spirits and demons, which is why you find them on so much old gothic architecture. And as you probably noticed, the gargoyle seemed to come to life just before Frolo fell to his death. IDK, I just thought that was cool.
I always felt it was symbolizing that it was a demon taking frollo to hell as they both fell into the lava below. The lava symbolizing Hell.
Makes sense too since Frollo is evil and he got what he deserved because he was evil and he got unged i to the fire pit for being wicked.
And it did it'd job remarkably well. Warded off the evil spirit of Frollo and sent him off from the cathedral.
Also, the Gargoyles are Quasimodos only friends for a Long time, they love him, because he’s a kind soul
Angels of the Night, indeed
1:35 Frollo: "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit."
God: "Well, you said that about yourself."
Lol
The delivery of that line is phenomenal
Every aspect of this 2 minute clip = cinematic perfection
@@jambler15 Do you remember The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh?
The choir backing most of this scene is phenomenal, I love the choir used in this movie, they use the same motif but just with some tone changes it becomes something sadder, or more dramatic.
In the scene at 1:33, you can see the color contrast between the orange and red of the fiery depths below and the faint blue-ish light of the Notre Dame. Possibly a subtle representation of heaven and hell. If Frollo had, at first, climbed back onto the balcony and then tried to attack Esmerelda, he would have succeeded. Instead, he chose to attack Esmerelda. I think this is representing him choosing his obsession over his better self and thus losing his final chance of redemption.
Also, gargoyles were believed to scare away evil spirits. In this shot, it makes sense they are pointed at "hell", to keep them at bay. But one gargoyle instead found another evil, who needed to go back into the fiery pit.
Even more color detailing apart from his eyes color changed? Neat.
I feel like he gave up that chance in ‘Hellfire’. The guard who informs him that Esmerelda has escaped is bathed in white light. Almost a divine shadow contrasting against the harsh and aggressive flames of hell. He tells the guard to go and makes his final decision to go down the path of sin. He chooses the flames of hell and begs god for forgiveness not for what he has done, but for what he was about to do.
@@aviatorhd9389 also the guard appears from seemly nowhere and knows that she had escaped when it was shown that no other guard knew this so as people have stated It was probably a angel appearing from god or as I like to imagine god himself intervening but frollo rejects him and the guard disappears
Frollo to Quasi: "Can stone talk?" (arrogantly).
Gargoyle's response to Frollo: 1:44
And notice at 1:38, the faintish blue light is gone. It’s just the orange and red of fiery depths.
To admit,Frollo is really strong for old man.
He is!
If he still has good strength he has to be early 50's.
Very true, credit is where credit is due.
Wasn't he just 35??

Two things I didn’t realize until recently. 1. If the gargoyle Frollo was standing on didn’t break he likely would’ve won.
2. The visual metaphor of Frollo seeing the demon smile on the gargoyle as he falls into the “firey pit” is almost like he’s being dragged to Hell.
If he hadn't cut said gargoyle he'd have won for a short time before being imprisoned & executed by everyone else.
He went against and attacked the church...he’d be fucked
It's an actual theory that God lifted the consecration from Notre Dame for a moment to allow Satan to get rid of Frollo.
He cut the gargoyle he was standing on
Gargoyles are made to scare away demons
In my personal opinion, frollo still has the best fall death scene. I know that Disney villains fall all the time, but frollo’s fall hits different. We know he’s falling into molten metal, but from the view they showed is and the gargoyle coming to life taking him as he falls, he was falling straight to hell.
I think it's the symbolism that makes the fall so epic. Frollo tests God by placing himself on God's level to exact Judgment, and God responds by sending Frollo to Hell because God's done with the evil Frollo does in His name.

I recently watched this movie for the first time, and about a week later, I watched it with my whole family (I'd watched it while I was home alone the first time). At the part where Frollo falls down into the lava, my brother mentioned, "I don't think that was the street below..." I'd never thought of it that way, but he actually made a pretty good point.
What did he mean?

lol I love how that one guy at 00:32 is like, "Hey everyone, stop fighting so we can observe the main characters."

I think that scene is there so that everyone down below would realize what Quasi had done and that's why they praised him as a hero at the end.
To be fair, if a noted public official who was once held in high regard but had visibly decended into madness was swinging a freaking sword at people atop my local church, which he had also shown great disrespect to, I'd probably stop what I was doing and watch too.

Frollo realized too late that HE was the wicked one.
plus He also learns that stone can come to life which is ironic.
@@silence6813 aye I never thought of that. It’s also ironic because he believes that by killing/imprisoning the gypsies he be let into heaven because he thinks that he’s doing gods work. And then when the gargoyle comes to life it’s obviously a demon and he is being sent to hell because he goes straight down into lava.
@@Afeeder Exactly, Plus he said he shall smite the wicked and plunge them in the firey pit. The moment the gargoyle came to life it was like it was saying to Frollo "You are the true wicked one who will be smite and now I'll plunge you into the fiery pit of lava below."
@@silence6813 yeah I completely agree. I love this scene because it’s so deserved
And he was the one to plunge into the firey pit 😂 I can’t stand him usually I don’t hate villains but this one really makes my damn blood boil 😂
Gargoyles come alive to ward off evil, Frollo wasn't just evil he was an absolute demon, so quite fitting that he went to Hell via a load of molten iron!
that’s so interesting, I never knew that!! Perfect fitting indeed!
Iron? I thought it was copper.
@@EWBRboy2006 I think it’s iron but I’m not 100% sure
Frollo was just a cruel, evil man. Not a demon
@@joshualowe959 yes we know he isn't a demon but they were just saying that he was like a demon because he was so evil and cruel
What I find absolutely ironic about frollo’s last moments is that throughout the movie, he always had this self righteous attitude where he was above everyone except for god, who he held in such high reverence. However, his last words were a prophetic quote “and HE shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit.” With HE referring to god, and he then proceeds to attempt to carry out that prophecy and smite who he perceived as the wicked. Frollo in his last moments took up the mantle of god and tried to carry out his will. That falls under the most dangerous sin, pride. And like the arrogant false god he perceived himself to be, he was cast out of the holy sanctuary of notre dame and plummeted into the raging inferno below, a hell of his own creation. Lots of parallels to Lucifer.
Well said
His name even almost spells Lucifer:
Claude Frollo
C l u e f r
L u c f e r
Lucifer is more similar to Jesus and Quasimodo than Frollo. They are rebellions against an absolute control freak. as above, so below.
In reality it was a "SHE" who smites him
Notre Dame is the church of Lady Mary, Mother of God, the one woman Frollo feared most of all. The one whose protection he once begged to have, but no matter what he did, she could not grant it. Frollo killed an innocent mother on her church's steps, he saw Mary's eyes looking down at him *from stone* warning him of his fate.
AND HE SHALL SMITE THE WICKED AND PLUNGE THEM INTO THE FIERY PIT!
that delivery from tony jay absolutely made this movie for me.

You’re right you can even see the cut at 1:17

Frollo's own choices often lead to his own demise. He had no one to blame but himself, despite doing everything he could to blame everyone BUT himself. Poetic. This movie is just an absolute masterpiece.

Turn your smartphone upside down the moment the gargoyle breaks off (1:48).

If we keep rebelling against God and doing evil things, then he will step back and let the devil have us. Good thing Jesus came to save us when we give him the chance.
Nah i believe he called Satan and put him in charge
I tend to believe that it was Mary
Notre Dame is her church. It was her statue's eyes that Frollo showed the most fear of. And he even begged for her protection in "Hellfire." He never called for the Lord because...well, he believed himself to be the Lord, or at the very least, his avatar.
She showed him he wasn't anything

1:36 god: I couldn't agree more
It's a small detail but I absolutely love that Esmeralda is still holding on to Quasi even when it looks like Frollo will literally cut her in half right before Frollo falls to his death. Quasi was unconscious so holding his weight must have been staggering (even as strong as she was...she just had a heck of smoke inhalation) and when he does slip from her grasp thank god Phoebus was there! She truly loved Quasi ❤️ what a great film.😊
I guess he wanted to behead her 😦
Romantic love can come and go, but familial love is forever
Quasi thought he found a romantic partner in Esmeralda, but what he actually found were true family members: the one thing he *truly* needed. A Family.

I would say may God have mercy on his soul, but to be honest, I don't think he had a soul to begin with.
I would make a joke about him being a ginger but I'm better than that.
He lost it a long time ago.
Do any of us? :)
He definitely had a soul, at least initially, considering how much he agonizes over his sinful thoughts in “Hellfire”. Of course, he keeps trying to deflect the blame onto Esmeralda and at one point onto God Himself (“It’s not my fault, if in God’s plan, He made the devil so much stronger than a man.”), but the fact that his sinful thoughts about Esmeralda caused him so much inner turmoil at some point shows that he was not quite beyond salvation yet.
Having said that, Frollo officially threw away all hope for his own salvation the moment he decided to give in to his sinful desires, especially once he started effectively declaring war on the House of God just to get to Esmeralda. From that point on, whatever remnants of Frollo’s soul were left by that point (after all the wholesale persecution and mass murder he oversaw in Paris) finally withered and decayed until finally it was time for him to go to hell.
Frollo had no heart or honor.
1:12 This shot is pervectly depicted. The only thing that stops Frollo from literally being send to hell was Quasimodo. It was done because he had cared for him. He done it because he had a little glimps of goodness at the beginning -yes, even Frollo. Otherwise he wouldn't care for Quasimodo. Despite all evil he done he wasn't yet to be send to hell. He still got a chance as every sinner has. But he disclaimed Quasimodo by trying to kill him - twice even after Quasimodo was ready to forgive him. He wanted to destroy phisical depiction of his own goodness, which little he had. By this Frollo sealed his fate by his own will. He was send to hell.
no, quasimodo did not try to save frollo because he still loved him. He knew that frollo was only lying, using him, and manipulating him at that moment. He only tried to save him to show he is not a monster like the latter
I think I finally know why Frollo's eyes & teeth turned a demonic orange color: the gargoyle Frollo stood on came to life with orange eyes & a demonic orange mouth and then it scared him. I think that the demonic gargoyle exposed the evilness inside Frollo's soul.
His death could be interpreted as divine intervention; the gargoyle, being a symbol of God, judges Frollo as the true wicked and casts him into Hell, symbolized by the molten copper. The gargoyle coming to life and demonically roaring at him could be showing him what he’s in store for. Ironically, Frollo suffered what he most feared: the damnation of his soul.
I really like how Esmeralda rarely shows fear in Frollo's face. Even as he is about to kill her, she shows more disgust than fear, as if to say "I can't believe people like you exist."
She doesn’t let go of Quasimodo even when Frollo comes at her with the sword. She may not love him romantically but she still loved him so much.
@@philosopherscribe39 That's what Family does for one another.

Frollo is one of the worst kinds of villains: the kind that don’t get that they are the bad guy while believing he is the good guy. It just proves what I learned after watching Ms. Marvel. Good and bad aren’t what we are, they’re what we do.
He's one of the best-written and most detestable villains because basically, he's real; he has no supernatural powers or magic of any kind. He is an old man driven by power and religion to do what he thinks is right. He's the kind of villain you actually see in real life.

The thing I love most about this movie is that it dealt with an incredibly sensitive topic (genocide and religious horror) without antagonizing the religion either. They have this truly evil religious figure say that God will plunge the wicked into the pit of fire, and he does. Frollo's death here was an act of God. It wouldn't have been as potent if one of them had killed him, or even if he'd tripped and fallen by mistake. The movie poses the question "who is the monster and who is the man?" and gives the most decisive answer I've ever seen by having their antagonist die by divine intervention.
Usually I like more open ended finales. Things that leave you with questions and choices, but this one spent the whole movie showing you how evil this man is, and they will end it in that decisive fashion too. God shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the firey pit.
Yes the wicked are the criminals
Frollo hitler Staline fanatics
Well said. In fact the Bible is full of people who feared God, and some stuck with God while others fell away and became some of the worst villains who still believed they were in God's favor. Look at King Saul versus King David. Both committed grievous sins, the only difference between the two was that David repented and came back to God while Saul only felt sorry for himself and committed suicide. Or like Peter versus Judas who betrayed Jesus. Even though Peter denied Christ three times, he cried bitterly and repented and Jesus restored him. But Judas never went back to Jesus and also committed suicide. And let's not talk about King Ahab and queen Jezebel😅
Frollo’s death will always be one of the best Disney villain deaths of all
Gargoyle: You lookin a little cold up here bruh. Let me help you out...
1:48 for those who have seen or at least herd of The Owl House, Since Disney owns this, this should be how LuzAura Finishes off Emperor Belos in the climax of The Owl House.
Satisfying, but kind of a copy
Other Owl House fans, yes!!!
God once more acts in protection of his children against another zealot
It's not a coincidence or divine intervention that the gargoyle collapsed. If you look closely, it gave way because Frollo cut it.
Disney/Pixar villains- the ones that die- almost always lose their lives as a result of their own actions.
Frollo: “And he shall smite the wicked, and PLUNGE them into the fiery PIT!”
God:
“M’kay.” (snaps fingers.)
BEST
DISNEY
MOVIE
EVER
I usually Watched Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 1 and 2 in 🇺🇲English and Spanish 🇲🇽
This movie was great! Saw it twice in theaters. Also I had HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME toys, bed sheets, matching pillow cases; and an Esmeralda dress
1:51 Welcome to hell, frollo! 👹🔥
I used to watch it on the VHS 📼 when I was a kid. It's probably one of the most underrated Disney films of all time.
1:17 I love how he wouldn't let him go even though he had lots of reasons to let him go.
Simply because he was raised by frollo
"Who is the Monster and who is the Man?"
Man can love the Monster. The Monster can't love anyone
@@alisvideosfromwevideo6733 Also could his nice as well.
Doomguy waiting in Hell: Ah, yes, fresh meat!
*reloads double-barreled shotgun with malicious intent*
Lmao Pudge reference
Lol
This scene, along with several other Disney animated movie scenes (oddly enough), SEVERELY scarred me as a child.
Disney is scarier than any horror movie I've ever seen. They put in the work to create incredible movies, especially the animators.
1:39 it was like satan himself was cast into Frollo. Look at his glowing eyes and teeth 😳
Frollo: “and he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!”
God: “Enjoy The BBQ Frollo“
Gargoyles are supposed to ward off evil and protect the innocent. Victor, Hugo and Irene are nice and friendly to Quasimodo because he has a pure soul. They helped him protect Esmeralda because she was innocent of any wrong doings and was in a sacred building.
So if a Gargoyle head appeared before Frollo as vicious and growling, it's because he was indeed the evil one. And it's possible the Gargoyle head deliberately detached itself from Notre Dame so it could send Frollo to where he belongs: Hell.
I can imagine most of the gargoyles sleeping and this one got woken up by god himself to send frollo to hell
Ummm no, Frollo cut that Gargoyle with the sword. He then he stood on it until it started to break apart.
@@INTJ10551 I know that genius. I'm talking about it in a metaphorical and ironic sense.
Just a tiny correction: the third gargoyle's name is Laverne, not Irene lol. Also if you look closely, the gargoyle Frollo was standing on was the same on he himself had cut into moments before. So it was already weakened and then further collapsed under his weight. Frollo did it to himself, and in that final moment, the church reminded him of that.
Quasimodo not letting go of Frollo's cloak is the most heartbreaking and marvellous addition to this phenomenal scene.
Jesus once spoke of forgiveness of our enemies... And the greatness of Quasi's love saved him at the end.
Also, you can notice how deformed everything in the human world is in this scene. When Frollo dives into the fire, there is no Paris streets underneath - only fire and smoke, as if it's Hell itself. So thrilling.
This is probably the most realistic Disney villain ever. Disney freaking went there with this movie. Shew!
The gargoyle roaring at Frollo was brilliant. It’s like as if the Devil himself is striking him down, that Frollo’s is the soul he wants, not Quasi’s or Esmerelda’s.
Gargoyles funny enough are servants of the forces of good. Their faces are the way they are to scare away evil. If you are attacked or carried off by a gargoyle, then you must be evil.
It's too bad today's modern world they are mistaken as evil themselves.
So, it's not the Devil himself who is striking him down, it's the Lord giving him Frollo since Frollo was never a good man to begin with. The Devil accepts him because, to him, Frollo is a gift from above.
i love that frolo's undoing is him quoting the bible like a righteous man as hes about to commit murder on the sacred cathedral ground again. the cathedral its self turns on him and casts the wicked into the fiery pit haha
I find it interesting but not surprising how Frollo didn't even acknowledge Quasimodo's kindness to not drop him in the fire, so when Frollo says "he shall smite the wicked" there's no excuse for him not to understand that Quasi is not wicked (not that there was ever any excuse) but this was just like the final straw so that's when God takes Frollo out (if you interpret the gargoyle seeming to come to life and falling as divine intervention).
In the Book of Romans chapter 1, it actually describes that if you fight God long enough and descend to deeper depths of evil, God will step back and literally let the devil have you.
Frollo: And he shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!
God: What? Oh thank you Frollo what a good idea. (Snaps his finger)
