The Disney adaptation of Victor Hugo's classic novel (which is hardly light reading in itself) is one of the darkest films ever produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, featuring extremely adult content like infanticide, genocide, the outright racist treatment of the Roma people, the abuse of religious power and creepy lust displayed by the most vile and frighteningly realistic villain in the history of animated films, and brutal on-screen deaths for heroes and villains alike. As a result, it has more than enough frightening moments and concepts to go around for the whole family. With all of this and the incredibly heavy adult themes present throughout in the picture, it's absolutely horrifying to realize that the film somehow got away with a G rating from the MPAA.

Frollo
There's a good reason why Judge Claude Frollo is in the running for the darkest and most detestable Disney villain ever conceived, and in the running for the most terrifying.
- For starters, he's a delusional, insane, egotistical, petulant and unstable sociopath with massive delusions of grandeur and supremacy and Black-and-White Insanity, as well as being an incredibly fanatical and outright Nazi-like Knight Templar who tries to purge all Roma people in Paris and rule over the city as God's right hand. As such, due to how any time he appears, and having no tragic past or good reason on why he became who he was, he makes the film even darker than it already is. Is there any reason he's considered to be such a massive monster that he surpasses the likes of Maleficent, Chernabog, Judge Doom or Lotso?
- Him even showing up is accompanied by the chorus crying Kyrie Eleison.Meaning
- Tony Jay's voice for Frollo counts, making his song more frightening. He can go from having a calm, even grandfatherly tone one moment and switch to a frightening snarl the next.
- Most of the other Disney villains were terrifying and evil in their own right, but Frollo trumps a majority of them due to following in Lady Tremaine's footsteps in that he is very, very normal and realistic. It gets better. The chances of you personally getting attacked by a lion who killed your father, a sea witch, a sorcerer, or an evil queen with dark magic are slim to none. And no one has good publicity like Gaston. But are there genocidal bigots out there in Real Life who use religion to justify their beliefs and actions, and convince other people to follow them and commit indescribable atrocities in their name? Absolutely.
- Speaking of which, his depiction, as detailed in this article by producer Don Hahn
, was inspired by Ralph Fiennes' spine-chilling portrayal of Amon Goeth from Schindler's List, particularly his lust for his maid despite her being of a race he considers inferior. Talk about an already-sinister antagonist in a Disney movie made even worse, due to being inspired by a sadistic and utterly monstrous real-life SS officer.
- Speaking of which, his depiction, as detailed in this article by producer Don Hahn
- Right before his introduction, Clopin says the tale he has to tell is about "a man and a monster", with a chilling emphasis on the last word. It does a good job of setting up what's coming.
- His very introduction applies. As the Roma are surrounded by soldiers, a huge shadow casts itself over the wall, revealed to be Frollo on his Bruiser of a horse. The pure terror in the male Romani's voice is as if he has come face to face with the devil itself... and considering what Frollo is like, he basically has.Clopin: But a trap had been laid for the Gypsies, and they gazed up in fear and alarm. To a figure whose clutches were iron as much as the bells...
Male Romani: (terrified) Judge Claude Frollo! - The part of the opening number that describes Frollo pretty much says it all about this guy:Judge Claude Frollo longed to purge the world of vice and sin.
And he saw corruption everywhere... except within. - It also echoes uncomfortably with modern third-world citizens and minorities who desperately seek passage to a better life in more peaceful and prosperous nations, even willing to accept the risk of being mercilessly exploited and treated like slaves, only to run afoul of monstrous bigots like Frollo who refuse to treat them like human beings for "daring" to even exist.
- During the opening sequence, Frollo looks positively demonic as he chases down and ultimately kills Quasimodo's poor mother, a Romani woman whose swaddled baby he initially thinks is stolen goods. There's no discretion shot either; you see Frollo kill her on-screen. And if not for the Archdeacon's intervention, this guy would very well have murdered baby Quasimodo himself as well. And what's worse is that Frollo thinks he is guiltless and in the right, not to mention how he immediately, unhesitatingly moves to take another innocent life when he realizes what the woman actually had.
- Heck, the way he talks about it with the Archdeacon. He's very much treating the whole situation as if it's just any other day for him, just another part of his job. That someone could be so casual about killing a woman and then trying to drown her child, "monster" or not, is chilling.
- There is a very brief moment when baby Quasimodo cries, and Frollo realizes what he's actually holding... then he moves the cloth from the baby's face, discovers his deformity, and immediately begins to look around for somewhere to dispose of the poor infant. It's the move from what might have been stunned realization, to disgust and panic that really sells it. Not that Frollo wouldn't have justified himself somehow anyway, but that one moment somehow makes it even worse.Frollo: A baby..? (moves the cloth and freezes in horror) A monster!
- In the Finnish dub, Frollo's tone of voice when he says "This is an unholy demon. I'm sending it back to Hell, where it belongs," is as if he's discussing the weather.
- And what does he say after the archdeacon guilt-trips him into raising Quasimodo after killing his mother? "Just so that he's kept locked up where no one else can see... even this foul creature may yet prove to be of use to me". Yeah, it's not like he's actually gonna treat Quasi as a human being or anything.Clopin: And Frollo gave the child a cruel name. A name that means "half-formed". Quasimodo!
- Earlier, the scene where he starts groping Esmeralda when she uses Notre Dame as a sanctuary, along with smelling her hair and lustfully caressing her neck. It's quite shocking to see a realistic portrayal of someone getting sexually harassed.
- The scene where Frollo explains his viewpoint of the Roma people to Phoebus. Hello, blatant genocide metaphor in a family-friendly movie. Especially bad for those of us whose relatives were, and continue to be, oppressed by anti-Roma (or anti-almost anything else, really) sentiment.Frollo: I have been... taking care of the Gypsies. (crushes ants under his fingers with each word) One... by... one. Yet, for all my success, they have thrived! (pulls off a tile to reveal an ants' nest underneath) I believe that they have a safe haven within the walls of this very city... a nest, if you will. They call it the (incredulous scoff) "Court of Miracles".Phoebus: What are we going to do about it, sir?
Frollo: (smirks, flips the tile over and smashes it back down, crushing every last ant under it, then grinding it to make sure)
Phoebus: (visibly disturbed) ...You make your point quite vividly, sir.- Phoebus first meeting Judge Frollo, in the castle torture chamber, where you get to hear the sound of the previous captain of the guard being tortured to death. Frollo goes out of his way to advise the Torture Technician to whip his victim slower, because doing it too fast will make the new pain drown out the old... which he speaks of in the most eerily casual manner possible. The captain's crime? "Disappointing" Frollo. He even makes a sadistic joke about it.
Frollo: You know, my last Captain of the Guard was, um... a bit of a disappointment to me.
Offscreen: (loud whipcrack, followed by an agonized scream. Phoebus flinches and Frollo smiles in sadistic glee)
Frollo: Well, no matter. I'm sure you'll... whip my men into shape. - The burning of the miller's cottage just because he and his family were suspected of hiding Romani. Said family included at least one child and a baby. Frollo even attempts to make Phoebus carry out the horrific deed — which he very understandably refuses to do — and then tries to have him executed when he instead goes into the fire to rescue Frollo's would-be victims.
- Just how FAST the house becomes engulfed is horrific to watch. Imagine what it would be like from inside.
- The last twenty-five seconds of "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.
- After Notre Dame itself was partially destroyed by fire on April 15th 2019, it's become even worse in hindsight, making this film even darker.
- And if you listen to the scene with headphones, as Frollo contemplates Esmeralda's escape, you can hear the muffled screams and cries of the townspeople; men, women, and children alike.
- Even if their ages weren't generations apart, his obsession with Esmeralda is quite creepy indeed, and not at all subtle. He even caresses her neck, touches her inappropriately and sniffs her hair. For all his posturing as a holy and chaste man, he's actually an extremely disgusting sexual predator and attempted rapist. Even more so in the actual book, where he actually does rape Esmeralda.
- The Villain Song, "Hellfire", is one of the darkest songs from any Disney movie, if not the darkest song from ANY family-friendly animated movie in history. Although Frollo is a Fabulous singer, though.
- Just what the song is about. It is probably one of the most explicit examples of a Villainous Crush ever shown in any kind of movie for children. Frollo is literally singing about how he wants to have Esmeralda for himself and that she should either choose between letting him have his way with her, or getting murdered. While younger children may not get it, the older viewers, on the other hand...
- The song starts off peacefully, with the Conifeitor being sung by the Archdeacon and the other monks, before it shows Frollo's side of the song. He starts off calm as he is praying to the Virgin Mary, but as the song progresses, he gets much more insane as he falls down deeper. At the end, when the music is bombastic, he no longer has his goal set on "purging the world of vice and sin" and he is now set on fulfilling his own goal of finding Esmeralda for himself. The peaceful music at the beginning juxtaposed with the loud and bombastic music at the end really symbolizes the loss of sanity that Frollo has suffered from his obsession.
- Another example of symbolism showing Frollo's loss of sanity is when the song first starts, his hair is neat and tidy, but halfway through the song, some strands come loose. And at the end, his hair is completely messy, which is another sign of Frollo going crazy.
- When he says "Let her taste the fires of hell," you can actually hear the faint screaming of a woman being burned alive!
- Can't forget the hellish monk choir draped in red robes who provides the chorus of "Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa."(Latin for "My fault, my fault my most grievous fault" or "I am guilty, I am guilty, I am so guilty" in more modern language) said right after he says he's not the one at fault.note
- It's a blink-and-you'll-miss moment, but when Frollo rushes through the monk choir, watch the direction of their unseen gaze. Their heads turn toward Frollo, as though their invisible eyes are laser-guided to follow him...
- When the monks first appear, there is also another blink and you'll miss it bonus when it shows a shot of Frollo saying "It's not my fault.", there is the outline of a coffin surrounding him. It is a symbol of Frollo's fate at the end of the movie and what will happen to his soul.
- Frollo is interrupted mid-song by one of his minions, who's telling him that Esmeralda has disappeared from the Cathedral. What makes this moment truly disturbing is that Frollo, for one moment, looks like he's forgotten where he is, and what he's doing.Soldier: Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped!
Frollo: What?!
Soldier: She's nowhere in the cathedral. She's gone.
Frollo: But how, I—— (suddenly stops) Never mind it. Get out, you idiot! I'll find her. I'LL FIND HER IF I HAVE TO BURN DOWN ALL OF PARIS! - What makes the above moment even scarier is what it represents for Frollo's character - just before he's interrupted, Frollo sings of his obsession with Esmeralda and how he wishes for her to be destroyed if he cannot possess her. And then the guard, who is in front of a soft peaceful light interrupts, telling Frollo, who is in front of the glowing fireplace that Esmeralda has escaped. It's possible to read this scene as God Himself giving Frollo one last chance to go back to the light - with Esmeralda gone from the cathedral, Frollo could redeem himself by letting go of his obsession! Nope. Instead, Frollo doubles down on his intent to find her, throwing any attempt at holy redemption back in the face of God and, ultimately, dooming himself. God have mercy, indeed.
- When he sings "Choose me or your pyre" it looks like the flames of the fireplace surrounds him as if either he's literally burning alive in Hell already, or he's taking the role of the Devil himself, and ruling over the flames of Hell. Either way, it isn't pretty.
- If you thought that the original version was bad enough, the French version, titled "Infernal" is presumably much more darker in comparison. One stand-out example is instead of simply saying "Choose me or, your pyre, be mine or you will burn!", he says "Be mine, or my passion will drag you to Hell!"note . The message is clear in this version; Frollo will be the one raising hell.
- In the Italian version, he sings "I'm waiting for you in Hell." instead of simply just "Choose me or your pyre". He knows this obsession will damn him but it's got him too tight. That's a sign that he's really losing it, in a horrifying way.
- The Greek version has the lyrics "it's not my fault that the strong one is the Devil and not God!" instead of "He made the Devil so much stronger than a man!". Those lyrics imply that Frollo has fell down and gone so far into his own obsession that he doesn't even consider God as strong enough to save him from it anymore. It shows that he has completely lost it.
- Close to the end of the scene, when Frollo sings "God have mercy on her, God have mercy on me...", he backs up against a wall with a deep red glow and the outlines of the monks holding crucifixes appear out of the shadows and slowly move up the wall, as if they're already holding a funeral for him. Or even as if they are holding an exorcism for him. It's been made clear: Frollo's destined to die.
- When Frollo sings his final note, the wall disappears and the shadows are quickly flowing from the fireplace just like as if they were demons released from Hell. After he finishes said note and falls down unconscious, Frollo's arms point straight out from the side and his body makes the shape of the Inverted Cross.
- While it may be hard to hear in the original version, some instrumental versions, as well as the musical version, have some faint bell noises during the final choir. Not just one, or two, but either three or perhaps four bell noises. That may be a nod to the witching hour, AKA "The Devil's Hour", a time of night usually set between 3:00 and 4:00 AM where witching rituals and supernatural forces such as ghosts and demons are said to be at their most powerful, and that the barriers between the living and the dead are supposed to be at their thinnest. It is said to be the Devil's Hour because the time is said to be a mocking inversion of the time when Jesus supposedly died, which would have been 3:00 PM. With this minor detail, it subtly represents the loss of Frollo's faith, and the beginning of his one-way trip to damnation. If the guard closing the door on Frollo wasn't a sign of him being beyond any chance of repentance, than this would be it.
- To top it all off, does "Hellfire"'s music sound familiar to you? It's the same tune that plays in "Heaven's Light" and "Bells of Notre Dame". When it's played in the former, it's uplifting and beautiful. When it's played in the latter, it's epic and heavenly. When it's played here, it's the stuff nightmares are made of.
- Jonathan Young's Metal version of Hellfire captures Frollo's growing insanity even more than the original version. As the song progresses he's going more and more unhinged and psychotic, a darkened silhouette of Esmeralda constantly flashes in his visions, the Guard sequence was replaced by him growing more desperate, frantically praying and screaming for Maria to give him sanctuary, a flash of his head burning appears before he vows to burn down Paris, and by the final sequence it's like Frollo himself turned into a demonic, extremely anguished lunatic burning in Hell, then he screams in complete mental breakdown, and ending with a nightmarish shriek of "GIVE ME SANCTUARY!" as he cries. Disney's a franchise known for cheery and lighthearted musicals, but if you think about it, with Hellfire's themes of religion, blasphemy, sin, lust, sex, Hell, internal psychological agony and conflict, and other adult themes, they literally made and sneaked in a Black Metal song. In a family film of all things.
- Frollo looks very much like the bastard spawn of Lex Luthor and The Joker when he grins, and his cold glare is equally as frightening.
- When confronting Quasimodo for helping Esmeralda escape Notre Dame, Frollo goes from his usually polite and cold tone to flat-out Unstoppable Rage as he shouts at Quasimodo and destroys his model replica of Paris. Quasimodo is lying on the floor, looking like a frightened child. Makes one wonder if this was the first time Frollo ever shouted at Quasimodo like that.Frollo: Isn't this one new? It's awfully good. Looks very much like the... Gypsy girl. I know... you helped her ESCAPE! AND NOW ALL OF PARIS IS BURNING BECAUSE OF YOU!
Quasimodo: Sh-She was kind to me, Master!
Frollo: YOU IDIOT! THAT WASN'T KINDNESS, IT WAS CUNNING! SHE'S A GYPSY! GYPSIES ARE NOT CAPABLE OF REAL LOVE! THINK, BOY! THINK OF YOUR MOTHER! - The following dialogue as Frollo recomposes himself doesn't help much either.Frollo: But what chance could a poor, misshapen child like you have against her heathen treachery? Well, never you mind, Quasimodo. (pulls a dagger from his robe and stabs the Esmeralda doll with it) She'll be out of our lives soon enough. (holds the doll over a candle flame to burn) I will free you from her evil spell. (tosses the now-incinerated doll to the floor) She will torment you no longer.
Quasimodo: What do you mean?
Frollo: I know where her hideout is. And tomorrow at dawn, I attack with a thousand men. - The scene where he confronts Esmeralda while she's about to be burned telling her to "Choose me or the fire". Esmeralda looks at him with visible disgust right after letting her choice be plainly known to him with a powerful Spiteful Spit. She would rather face her death, via one of the most horrifically painful methods of execution imaginable, no less, than take Frollo's offer, so repulsed is she by how loathsome and monstrously evil Frollo has become in his lust for her.
- Frollo makes this chilling remark during his last encounter with the Archdeacon:Archdeacon: Frollo, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the House of God!
Frollo: Silence, you old fool! (throws the Archdeacon down the stairs) The hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to. And this time, you will not interfere. - In the following scene, Frollo attempts to stab Quasimodo, but the latter manages to fight back and grab the knife. What follows is Quasimodo being covered in red light and wearing a Death Glare as he advances on Frollo and raises the knife, and Frollo himself is terrified at this sudden show of violence, when Quasimodo gives a "The Reason You Suck" Speech and throws the knife away instead. While Frollo would have had it coming, the fact that the protagonist of a Disney movie briefly considered stabbing someone to death is beyond creepy.
- Frollo chases after Quasimodo and Esmeralda onto the cathedral balcony. Losing track of his prey, he scans the dark balcony. He looks and sees the two hiding below the balcony gargoyles, and viciously attacks the duo with his sword, one swipe barely nicking Quasi's arm.Frollo: Leaving so soon? (chases them down the balcony, swinging his sword madly at them)
- In his insane rage, Frollo finally admits to Quasi the truth about his mother while letting out all the true hatred he concealed from the hunchback for the past two decades.Frollo: I should've known you'd risk your life to save that Gypsy witch! Just as your own mother died trying to save you.
Quasimodo: W-what?
Frollo: And now, I'm going to do what I should've done... TWENTY YEARS AGO! (throws his cape over Quasi's face to try to pull him off the edge of the cathedral) - His final scene is the image above for a reason. While seeing it, watch closely the color of his eyes and teeth. They're white like Esmeralda's and Quasi's until he climbs the gargoyle to decapitate the Roma, where they then turn yellow with blood red irises, alongside his hair looking a lot like demonic horns (not unlike the Coachman from Pinocchio), the fact that he seems to be looking at you, the viewer instead of the two Roma and that incredibly satanic slasher smile, cementing via Rule of Symbolism Frollo's ultimate transformation into Satan himself, demonstrating the Satanic Archetype he really is!
- Also, the combination of the light from the flames below and the smoke from the same flames makes his skin appear to have turned from its natural color to a sickly ashen gray, making him look even more inhuman.
- Adding to this, there's also Frollo's last words. The way he says "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit" makes it clear: Frollo no longer sees himself as a soldier of God, but AS God Himself instead. That shows how deep he fell.
- More terrifying? The Swedish version manages to be very unnerving with his laugh now sounding not only deranged like in the original, but also like it comes from the very pits of Hell itself, furthering cementing Frollo's connection to Satan!
- Frollo's death? The gargoyle◊ snarls at him as if it's a demon, plunges him into the molten metal below, where he burns. It's as if God let Satan himself collect his soul to give him the Hellfire he's so obsessed with... FOREVER.
- Notice how his eyes change in color as he's about to kill Esmeralda (and Quasimodo by extension). He becomes almost demonic (Like in the beginning of the movie). It's incredibly disturbing.
- It can be quite easy to miss but as Frollo plunges off Notre Dame while holding the broken gargoyle, the scenery surrounding him gradually turns more & more crimson symbolising Frollo is now in the bowels of Hell. Or the gargoyle in the appearance of the devil is simply taking Frollo to Hell.
- Frollo makes this chilling remark during his last encounter with the Archdeacon:
Everything else
- The statues of the saints looking down at Frollo, and of the Virgin Mother's eyes opening as the lightning flashes in the prologue.
- Also this one◊ seems to be staring at the viewer instead of Frollo.
- It's not just the Virgin Mary either. The angels guarding her and even the baby Jesus in her arms have their eyes opened by the lightning flash. That brief frame is terrifying.
- Notre Dame is implied to be sentient several times during the film, so the statues glaring at Frollo can be interpreted either as the spirit of the Cathedral herself or the higher power she represents making their feelings known........and whichever one it is, they're not happy.
- Also this one
- Frollo being scared for the first time in his life. Those statues seem to be staring into his very soul, and one can't help but shake the feeling that they really are. Especially when it focuses on the Virgin Marynote ...
- Quasimodo tied to a spinning platform as the crowd throws eggs and vegetables at him is terrifying. Fortunately, Esmeralda's intervention cuts the scene short.
- Ironically, it's a bowdlerized version of a similar scene in the book, where he's whipped and mocked by the crowd.
- For some it is worse in this version because of how unprovoked that was. At least in the book, he was guilty of attempted kidnapping and nobody knew that the true culprit was Frollo.
- In the musical however, he is whipped, and completely without provocation.
- The sheer look on Quasimodo's face after he breaks free of the chains holding him to Notre Dame. Having never seen Quasimodo truly angry before, it is frightening◊.
- 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.
- 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.
- Really, the fact that Quasimodo was raised by this madman, the fact that he's not stark raving mad himself is nothing short of a miracle. The Archdeacon might possibly have served as a tempering influence, but he's only in a handful of scenes, and almost all of Quasi's social interaction is with Frollo.
- The fact that the entrance to the Court of Miracles is through a gothic, eerie medieval graveyard inside the grave of a French knight that died in The Crusades.
- Clopin giving a Slasher Smile when he was about to execute Quasimodo and Phoebus as spies. Thankfully Esmeralda stopped him before it was too late.
- The song beforehand qualifies too, if one takes the time to look at the lyrics.
- If you don't like insects, the scene where Frollo lifts up the stone covering a nest of ants can be nauseating. Granted, they're just common ants which are completely harmless, but even to people who don't have insectophobia, an entire nest of them crawling over each other can be unsettling. Even worse is that Frollo uses and murders the ants to demonstrate that he's been killing off innocent Romani for decades one by one without fail in the hopes of finding their hideout to kill them all at once.
- The soundtrack is awesomely terrifying all by itself, but there's a Genius Bonus in the Ominous Latin Chanting you might not catch if you're not either a Classical Music fan or know Latin: namely, the chanting is not mere Canis Latinicus, but actually bits and pieces from the Requiem Mass text (which has been set to music many times by Classical composers, particularly Mozart and Verdi), mostly "Kyrie Eleison" (meaning "Lord, have mercy", which can be as heartbreaking as it is nightmarish), but also the "Dies Irae" ("Day of Wrath", full text and translations at Wikipedia) sequence, particularly when Frollo chases Quasimodo's mother up to Notre Dame. Two lines from the latter really stick out: "Quantus tremor est futurus, quando Judex est venturus" which roughly translates to "How great will be the quaking, when the Judge will come". The text itself refers to Judgment Day and the Apocalypse, which adds yet another brand of fuel to the mix all by itself, but in the context of the scene goes further still by taking on a new meaning as Quasimodo's mother is chased down by the Judge who will kill her and try to kill her baby.
- The attack on the Cathedral, for Frollo's men. Already they're facing Paris' infamously riotous population out for their blood while an extremely strong man throws things at them from up the Cathedral... Then suddenly a barrage of small stones hit a group of soldiers as if a battalion of crossbowmen were firing on them, a swarm of birds comes down and attacks them, and the Cathedral starts pouring molten lead on them all. Since they know Quasimodo and the Archdeacon couldn't possibly do that, it's as if God's wrath is manifesting... And given three gargoyles, meant to ward off evil, are involved in these weird phenomena, that could well be what's happening.
- And, as said above, a fourth gargoyle comes to life just to kill Frollo, dropping him into the molten lead Quasimodo and the gargoyles had previously poured on the attackers - and Frollo was actually looking at its face when it came to life, leaving him in terror even before it broke off. To Frollo that could have been the moment he finally realized he was doomed... And by all appearance, by God's direct intervention. The fact that the Choir sings "Kyrie Eleison" (Lord have Mercy) when it does so all but confirms that Frollo is looking directly into the face of God himself and realizes nothing not even his faith can save him now from the REAL judge!
