The Hunchback Of Notre Dame - Blog Posts
I wasn’t going to reblog, but it was too cute to ignore. I love this film, and Frollo’s stupid hat.
Was listening to the Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack and the voices bestowed me with this sacred task. It came to me in a vision, and so here it is!
Baby’s first post‼️ Have a good night yall!

esmeralda entering the cathedral of notre dame in literal rags as the nobles around her pray for wealth and glory and while she’s “i ask for nothing, i can get by, but i know so many less lucky than i” screaming crying throwing up im never going to be over this disney movie
I drew esmerelda in class the other day and I'm really proud of it :3
Something I love about Claude Frollo is that when Disney was writing him, they didn't want the audience to like him. It's why his character is very black and white in the movie, so to speak, than the original book by Victor Hugo. But they couldn't just get rid of his motives when it's one of the major themes of the book (religion).
Unfortunately for the writers, that's why he's one of the best written villains- because although dramatized, he's realistic. For some people, religion is incredibly important to them. and as we've seen throughout history, people make incredibly dangerous decisions on behalf of maintaining their values. Any disruption to them is distressing, making them act out. and this goes past religion. think of a time where you were in a situation where something conflicted with when of your core values- it's stressful! you really gotta reflect, and that doesn't always work out thanks to denial and rationalization.
tldr, Claude Frollo is the best Disney Villain ever because not only is he the embodiment of a bad person, you understand his motives (not as in understand and agree, but you understand WHY he does what he does). And the worst part, his thought process is a common one.
Hey because I am obsessed and will never stop talking about this movie, I would like to point out a small detail from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
"Remember, Quasimodo: this is your sanctuary."
This line is followed up with a twisted, even sinister little smile from Frollo. It's a private little inside joke with himself.
"Sanctuary! Please, give us sanctuary!"
Quasi's mother's last words before Frollo kills her. Frollo's cruelty goes beyond the gaslighting and manipulation. He REVELS in the cruel irony of Quasi's situation.
This is why he's so effective as a villian. You don't have to write them complicated and relatable, you just have to write them CONSISTENT. Frollo is, as the movie hammers into our heads, a monster, even (and I would say especially) in private moments.
HES BACK
