Somewhat interestingly, this take on the ''Hunchback'' story features a number of story elements from the original book often removed from other adaptations of the story. It's also one of Dingo's longest films, which is notable enough on its own. Like many other Dingo movies, it had a UsefulNotes/PlayStation release that included slide-puzzles and a color-fill paint feature.

That would simply be a Race Lift. Adaptational Diversity needs to include more than just that such as Gender Flip, Adaptational Nationality, etc.


* AdaptationalDiversity: Averted. This film actually included the book's plotline in which it turns out that Esmeralda is an ethnically French girl raised by Gypsies. Almost all film adaptations, including Disney's, have excluded this, portraying her as a Gypsy by birth instead.

''Der Glöckner von Notre Dame'' (''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'') is an animated film released in 1996 by Creator/DingoPictures. It is an adaptation of the famous [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame novel of the same name]] by Creator/VictorHugo.

One day in medieval Paris, France, a deformed baby is left on the doorstep of Notre Dame. The archdeacon of the church, Claude Frollo, adopts the baby and plans to raise him to see if he can be intelligent despite his deformities.

!"You is the trope of fools!"
* AdaptationalHeroism: The unnamed captain who is clearly based off of Phoebus from the original novel did not act like a womanizer nor a jerk and acts more like a ReasonableAuthorityFigure.
* AnachronismStew: The judge wears a red robe and a judicial wig centuries before they became standard for judges to wear.
* {{Angrish}}: Frollo, when Esmeralda manages to escape from him.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Djali the goat has a black, spherical nose which resembles that of a cartoonish dog's.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: The Eiffel Tower can be seen in one aerial shot, despite the story taking place in medieval Paris. The Eiffel Tower wouldn't begin construction until 1887.
* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Frollo gets promoted from Archdeacon (as he was in the original book) to Abbé, which is actually a ''demotion''; Abbé being the term for a French lower-ranking clergyman.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Quasimodo is left to rot in prison after he kills Frollo, and Esmerelda and Pierre abandon him and leave Paris]].
* DudeNotFunny: Frollo is not amused by Quasimodo being dressed as the Pope of Fools and Djali the goat's impression of the Bishop of Paris, which he sees as sacrilege.
* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: Esmeralda in ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'', when she is dancing on the Grevé square.
* ForScience: Frollo's motivation for adopting Quasimodo is to see if he could still be intelligent despite his deformities.
* {{Jerkass}}
** The two nuns that find Quasimodo on the church's doorstep waste no time in loudly expressing their disgust at his appearance, and declaring that he should be thrown into a fire.
** One recurring extra is an old man who, on multiple occasions, feels the need to bring up the fact that Quasimodo is deaf for no reason other than to laugh at him for it.
* LarynxDissonance: The judge is voiced by a woman and given a feminine voice, despite being male.
* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The opening contains multiple extended scenes of characters walking.
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Pierre, but this is mostly because [[OnlySixFaces he's just Esmerelda with facial hair]].
* LookalikeLovers: Pierre looks like Esmeralda in drag, and the two of them end up getting together.
* TheMockbuster: This movie released in 1996, the same year as [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Disney's version]] of the Hunchback of Notre Dame story.

* TrrrillingRrrs: The female voice actress often rolls her Rs, possibly as an attempt at a French accent. At times it makes characters sound Italian and in others, it can sound barely coherent.
* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Esmeralda has a strange accent that sounds like a mixture between French and Italian.
