** Most of the other {{Disney}} villains were terrifying and evil in their own right, but Frollo trumps a majority of them as far as pure evilness goes, due to being very, very normal and realistic. It gets better. The chances of you personally getting attacked by [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid a sea witch]], [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} a sorcerer]], or [[Disney/SnowWhite an evil queen]] is slim to none. Are there genocidal racists out there who use religion to justify their beliefs, and convince other people to follow them? Oh, yes.

* If you interpret the gargoyles strictly as part of Quasi's imagination, not to mention how he behaves around Frollo, it really puts into perspective how much psychological damage has been done to this poor boy in his 20 years in isolation.

* The [[{{HSQ}} last twenty-five seconds]] of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CVwYC7WrP0 "Paris Burning"]] is the embodiment of fear and terror itself. In the film, it's played over a clip looking over the skyline of Paris, glowing bright red from all the fire and the smoke filling the sky, as though Frollo really has brought Hellfire to Earth.

*Imagine for a moment you are one of the soldiers under Frollo's command. Specifically, one of those attacking the Cathedral. You've stuck by the Judge through all of his monstrosities. The city is in revolt, the Cathedral is throwing beams, stone and molten lead at you. All of this is explainable. Then the birds attack and everything is put into perspective. The Cathedral isn't attacking you. God is and now the Devil has a claim on your soul. Pious or not, that would be terrifying.

** Frollo looked positively ''demonic'' during the chase leading up to that scene, and it definitely didn't help that the guy''killed'' Quasimodo's poor mother. And what's worse is that he thought he was guiltless!
