History WesternAnimation / TheSecretOfTheHunchback

* {{Expy}}: Frollo seems to be a [[CompositeCharacter mix]] between [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]] instead of [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney the actual Frollo]], with a touch of [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 the Sheriff of Nottingham]]. Though the Gaston elements are not quite as blatant as [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameGoldenFilms the Golden Films version]].
