* AdaptationalHeroism: In the book, he's a womanising {{Jerkass}} who gets no comeuppance. Here, he's more of a NiceGuy or JerkWithAHeartOfGold, who opposes Frollo whenever he can.



* AnnoyingArrows: [[spoiler:Played with. He gets hit by one arrow which causes him to be knocked out, but then has the arrow taken out of him quite easily, underwater too.]]
* {{Badass}}



* DeadpanSnarker

to:

* DeadpanSnarkerDeadpanSnarker: His humour tends to be quite subdued.

to:

** TheStarscream: Later TheStarscream / HeelFaceTurn: A good guy example of the former trope, as he later rallies the people of Paris against Frollo.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold/ NiceGuy: Somewhere between the two.



* NobleTopEnforcer: At first, eventually quitting his job.



* AdaptationalBadass: In the book, she's slightly weaker. In the film, she's an ActionGirl through and through.

* HangingJudgeHangingJudge: He is described by Clopin as the judge, jury and executioner rolled into one.



* HolierThanThou
* {{Hypocrite}}

to:

* HolierThanThou
HolierThanThou: Claimed, even though it's really a load of BS.
* {{Hypocrite}}{{Hypocrite}}: Claims that God is to blame when it's really him being a racist, perverted monster.



* {{Jerkass}}
* KarmicDeath

to:

* {{Jerkass}}
{{Jerkass}}: He doesn't even try to hide it.
** JerkassHasAPoint: He was right about the people of Paris being hostile and mocking towards him, though he did nothing but rub in the fact to make it feel worse for him.
* KarmicDeathKarmicDeath: "AND HE SHALL SMITE THE WICKED AND PLUNGE THEM INTO THE FIERY PIT!"
* KnightOfCerebus: As soon as he appears, the humour level drops. He stands out as being one of the most notable for the entire Disney Animated Canon, as most villains are at least LaughablyEvil in their misdeeds. Frollo gets one moment as a DeadpanSnarker away from his atrocities, and that's it.



* ManipulativeBastard

to:

* ManipulativeBastardManipulativeBastard: He's very good at this.



* NiceHat

to:

to:

* SinisterMinister
SinisterMinister: To balance out the Archdeacon being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.
* StalkerWithACrushStalkerWithACrush: To Esmerelda, and he's [[UpToEleven ''extremely'']] obssessed with her.



* StrawHypocrite: For a man of the Church, Frollo is demeaning to his underlings, insulting to the citizens of Paris, boasts about his faith and righteousness, repeatedly denies that feeling lust for Esmeralda is his fault, denies that it's his fault that Quasimodo's mother died (he ''kicked her in the head hard'') and says that he'll find Esmeralda "If I have to burn down all of Paris!" and fully intends to violate the vows of chastity that he's undoubtedly taken in order to have sex with Esmeralda. He also shows complete disregard for Church authority when he tosses the Archdeacon down a flight of stairs for trying to stop him from reaching Quasimodo.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Esmeralda's act of kindness of defending Quasimodo during the Feast of Fools is what makes Quasimodo fall for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Quasimodo is sweet and kind, almost to a [[ExtremeDoormat fault]], but if you cross him, look out.



* BrainsAndBrawn: In most of Quasimodo's scenes he is seen demonstrating his strength, but other times it becomes clear that he is also very intelligent; one being when he figures a way to sneak Esmeralda past the guards outside the cathedral and a second being how he figures out the code in Esmeralda's charm and locates the gypsy hideout.

* GentleGiant: Quasimodo isn't particularly tall or big, but it is definitely with regards to his strength.



* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Quasimodo does what he can to make Esmeralda happy, including blessing her relationship with Phoebus at the end.



* LightningBruiser: For such a stocky, barrel-chested guy, Quasi is remarkably agile and fast.

* CharacterDevelopment: Frollo, while always evil, is initially much more collected and methodical. He also shows at least some fear of God and respect for the institution of the Church, as when the Archdeacon reminds him that God knows of his sins as much as he denies it and this spurs him to adopt Quasimodo out of repentence. But by the end of the film he's so angry and insane that he has no problems burning down the homes of random citizens, attacking Notre Dame, and throwing the archdeacon off a staircase.

!!Quasimodo
'''Featured in 1996's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'''''

* {{Adorkable}}
* TheBigGuy
* BrainsAndBrawn: In most of Quasimodo's scenes he is seen demonstrating his strength, but other times it becomes clear that he is also very intelligent; one being when he figures a way to sneak Esmeralda past the guards outside the cathedral and a second being how he figures out the code in Esmeralda's charm and locates the gypsy hideout.
* CallingTheOldManOut
* CharacterDevelopment: Quasimodo becomes passive to more assertive to his oppressive guardian.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: No, he doesn't get Esmeralda in the end. But [[spoiler:in the sequel, he does get a girlfriend named Madeline.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings
* TheGrotesque
* HandicappedBadass
* HomeschooledKids: Poor Quasimodo - Frollo royally sucks as a teacher, seeing that Quasimodo is still learning ''the alphabet'' at age 20.
* LeParkour: Jumping from the eaves to the steeples to the gargoyles to the gutters of the Notre Dame cathedral is not a problem for him.
* LonersAreFreaks: What the citizens of Paris think he is but truthfully he isn't a loner by choice; Frollo deliberately keeps him hidden away in the cathedral.
* LoveHurts: When Quasimodo witnesses Esmeralda's and Phoebus' kiss and realizes that they are in love with each other.
* MeaningfulName: Quasimodo means ''"half-formed"'' directly translated from Latin, in a more modern form it also means "sub-human". The fact that he named poor Quasi this is just '''one ''' example of Frollo's cruelty.
* NiceGuy: Definitely.
* ParentalAbandonment: what he thinks was the case with his mother. In reality [[spoiler:Frollo killed her.]]
* RedHeadedHero
* [[spoiler:{{Roma}}]]: His true parentage.
* [[spoiler:YouAreWhatYouHate]]: Doesn't seem to hate gypsies, though he mindlessly accepts Frollo's beliefs about them until meeting Esmeralda provides him with a new perspective. It isn't to the very end that [[spoiler:Frollo]] reveals whom his mother really was.

!!Phoebus
'''Featured in 1996's ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'''''

* AmazonChaser: Watching Esmeralda single handedly trounce Frollo's guards makes Phoebus exclaim "What a woman!"
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Averted in the Disney film, not so much in the novel it was based on.
* CharacterDevelopment: Phoebus is initially the pawn who loathes injustice. In the opening, he discreetly rescues Esmeralda from arrest but never quite speaks out against injustice, and Frollo refuses to let Phoebus intervene when Quasimodo undergoes public humiliation. It's when he witnesses Frollo's [[MoralEventHorizon attempted execution on an innocent family]] that Phoebus starts intervening explicitly from then on.
* ChivalrousPervert: He's obviously very excited by Esmerelda's dancing, but is able to look beyond just that to her kindness and spirit.
* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDragon: Initially he's this to the villain Frollo, but see HiddenDepths below.
* FirstGuyWins
* HiddenDepths: Appears to have a clear sense of moral right and wrong despite working for Frollo, as seen in the way he treats Esmeralda and in his kindness towards Quasimodo after he is pelted by the crowd and in acknowledging the latter's role in helping warn the gypsies of Frollo's arrival.
* KnightInShiningArmor: Shining gold-plated armor no less.
* MeaningfulName: Phoebus, as he notes means ''"sun-god"''. Esmeralda is less than impressed however.
* OfficialCouple: With Esmeralda.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"What do they have against people who are different, anyway?"'']]
->'''Voiced by''': Demi Moore

* ActionGirl: She holds her own against Phoebus pretty well, and she defies Frollo in his face - twice.
* AgeLift: She's at least in her 20s, not 16 like in the source material.
* AntiHero: Type II.
* BadassDamsel: [[spoiler:Her defiance of Frollo when he is about to ''set her on fire'' is remarkable.]]
* BarefootPoverty
* BigNo: [[spoiler:When she lets go of Quasimodo while trying to pull him up to the side of the cathedral so he doesn't fall. He falls, but Phoebus catches him.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: Initially starts off as confrontational and distrustful due to the hardships she and the other gypsies have endured, but her interactions with Quasimodo and Phoebus gradually soften her and teach her how to trust.
* CombatPragmatist: Does not fear a groin attack.
* CurseCutShort: "You sneaky son of a b-"
* DeadpanSnarker
-->'''Phoebus''': You fight almost as well as a man.
-->'''Esmeralda''': Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you.
* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath]]: [[spoiler:Unlike in the Victor Hugo novel, when she is not responsive to Quasimodo she is barely passed out due to smoke inhalation, not dead, and revives minutes later.]]
* DudeMagnet: With very unfortunate results.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Her IconicOutfit.
* FlirtingUnderFire: During her banter in the cathedral with Phoebus. He started it, but she engaged him all the same.
* GreenEyes: In combination with her dark skin, she's a dead ringer for various gypsy / Arab / Indian peoples.
* HotGypsyWoman: To her grave disadvantage, as it turns out.
* IWantSong: "God Help The Outcasts" could be considered somewhat of a deconstruction of this trope, since it depicts Esmeralda's selfless desire for safety and protection of the weak and defenseless, plus marginalized and abused peoples she is a part of.
* KubrickStare: [[spoiler:When Frollo offers her redemption in the form of becoming his sex slave, she gives him one before spitting him in the face.]]
* LadyInRed / StripperIffic: Her dancing outfit during the Festival of Fools.
* LightIsGood: [[spoiler:What she seems to symbolize when Frollo strips her down to a white tunic when he prepares to have her burnt at stake.]]
* LoveTriangle: Esmeralda / [[FirstGuyWins Phoebus]] / [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Quasimodo]].
* MadonnaWhoreComplex: While Quasimodo sees Esmeralda as an angel sent by God himself because she was so kind to him (and he wasn't familiar with kindness), Frollo sees her as a devil seductress and whore sent by Satan. Neither view of her is healthy or realistic, and it is Phoebus (who sees the middle ground, recognizing both Esmeralda's merits and quirks) who strikes the right note with her in the end.
* MsFanservice: Deconstructed - she does her job so well, she invokes the lust of an extremely dangerous, powerful old psychopath.
* ObliviousToLove: She has no idea of Quasimodo's crush on her.
* [[spoiler:PublicExecution]]: [[spoiler:Thankfully thwarted by Quasimodo.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Phoebus.
* SeekingSanctuary
* SadisticChoice: "Me or the fire". [[spoiler:The fire, Frollo.]]
* SlapSlapKiss: With Phoebus. They don't really start the romance part till after she save his life, but they were already flirting in that church.
* SmokeOut: She disappears into smoke at will. [[InexplicablyAwesome How she performs this remains unexplained.]]
* [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation]]
* SpitefulSpit: See KubrickStare.
* WomanInWhite: See LightIsGood.

->'''Voiced by:''' TonyJay

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent-Figure]]: To Quasimodo.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the book, Frollo was a somewhat more sympathetic AntiVillain.
* AgeLift: Frollo was only in his mid-thirties in the book yet seems to be around 20 years older in the movie.
* BadBoss: Has his previous captain of the gaurd (Phoebus' predecessor) tortured for failing him.
* BigBad
* ButIWouldReallyEnjoyIt
* CharacterDevelopment: Frollo, while always evil, is initially much more collected and methodical. He also shows at least some fear of God and respect for the institution of the Church, as when the Archdeacon reminds him that God knows of his sins as much as he denies it and this spurs him to adopt Quasimodo out of repentence. But by the end of the film he's so angry and insane that he has no problems burning down the homes of random citizens, attacking Notre Dame, and throwing the archdeacon off a staircase.
* CompositeCharacter: Inverted. The conflicted Archdeacon Claude Frollo is split into the good Archdeacon and the evil Justice Minister Claude Frollo. This was apparently done to make sure that they didn't get any religious controversy, and to avert any Unfortunate Implications that might come about from Frollo's AdaptationalVillainy.
* DeadpanSnarker: "I had a little trouble with the fireplace."
* DirtyOldMan
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The very first thing we see Frollo do is murder an innocent woman and attempt to drown her defenseless child.
* EvilEyebrows
* EvilSoundsDeep
* TheFundamentalist
* HangingJudge
* HeelRealization: Frollo, for a fraction of a second toward the end of the opening sequence. [[IgnoredEpiphany He gets over it]].
* HeyItsThatVoice: The late TonyJay.
* HolierThanThou
* {{Hypocrite}}
* IfICantHaveYou:
-->''Hellfire, dark fire. Now Gypsy, it's your turn!\\
Choose me or your pyre,\\
Be mine, or you will burn!\\
God have mercy on her...\\
God have mercy on me...\\
But she will be mine, or she... will... burn!''
* ItsAllAboutMe: Frollo only spares Quasimodo because he believes he may be useful to him later. He also seems to have no problem committing mass murder and destroying Paris to get rid of a single woman who isn't even to blame for his own problems.
* {{Jerkass}}
* [[KarmicDeath Karmic]] DisneyVillainDeath
* KnightTemplar
* LeanAndMean
* LightIsNotGood: Looks like a priest, and imposes order and law. Is one of the most evil villains Disney's ever created.
** Not to mention that his epic villian song takes place right in front of bright flames. Dark fire? Not at all!
* {{Lust}} [[LoveMakesYouEvil Makes You Evil]]
** SexIsEvilAndIAmHorny: He mentions that he's especially proud of [[VirginPower "his virtue"]] and begins going over the edge when he realizes he's hot for a [[HotGypsyWoman member of the ethnic group]] he's trying to exterminate.
* ManipulativeBastard
* NeverMyFault: One of Frollo's defining personality traits. Anything bad that he does, he blames it on someone else. This includes killing Quasimodo's mother (she ran from his soldiers to protect her son, he ran her down with his horse) and his lust for Esmeralda (blaming Esmeralda herself for the way he feels, even ''blaming God for allowing the Devil to tempt him''). When he figures out Quasimodo helped her escape, he tells Quasimodo that all of Paris is burning because of him, despite the fact that ''Frollo is the one burning it!''
* ObsessionSong: "Hellfire".
* PervertedSniffing: Frollo sniffs Esmeralda's hair at one point.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Frollo compares Gypsies to ants earlier in the movie, and alludes to his genocidal intentions by squishing an ant nest.
* SinisterMinister
* StalkerWithACrush
* StraightEdgeEvil
* StrawHypocrite: For a man of the Church, Frollo is demeaning to his underlings, insulting to the citizens of Paris, boasts about his faith and righteousness, repeatedly denies that feeling lust for Esmeralda is his fault, denies that it's his fault that Quasimodo's mother died (he ''kicked her in the head hard'') and says that he'll find Esmeralda "If I have to burn down all of Paris!" and fully intends to violate the vows of chastity that he's undoubtedly taken in order to have sex with Esmeralda. He also shows complete disregard for Church authority when he tosses the Archdeacon down a flight of stairs for trying to stop him from reaching Quasimodo.
* TortureTechnician: "Ease up! Wait between lashes. Otherwise the old pain will dull him to the new."
* VillainousBreakdown: Frollo is an honest KnightTemplar... until [[LoveMakesYouCrazy love makes him crazy]] and turns him into an ultra-violent StalkerWithACrush.
* VillainousCrush: For Esmeralda.
* VillainSong: "[[CrowningMusicOfAwesome HELLFIRE]]".
