Claude Frollo is a single lawyer whose life is turned upside down when a son he never knew about turns up at his door. His son, Quasimodo, wants to stay with him after his mother and step-father died in an accident. When Quasimodo shows an interest in dance, Claude hires a dance instructor that Quasimodo likes. Unfortunately for Claude, he's deeply attracted to the woman, Esmeralda, despite their clashing personalities.

- Age-Stereotypical Food: Until the second chapter, Claude has never brought cereal. He buys some cereal for the 15 year old son he's just learned he has.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Frollo and Esmeralda are always arguing, but they're also attracted to each other. Clopin lampshades this to Esmeralda.
- Birds of a Feather: Quasimodo and Hercules bond over their similar interests and personalities.
- Crossover: Frollo is co-workers with Jafar from Aladdin and Hades from Hercules.
- Modern AU Fic: Aladdin, Hercules, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are set in a modern, mundane setting.
- Nephewism: Downplayed. Hades' nephew Hercules is staying with him for a few weeks, much to his annoyance..
- Related in the Adaptation:
- Quasimodo is Frollo's biological son, not his adopted son.
- Hades is Hercule's uncle, like he is in Classic Mythology. The film keeps them Ambiguously Related.
