Added DiffLines:

* DecompositeCharacter: As with most versions, Frollo and the Archdeacon are two different characters.


Added DiffLines:

* ObviouslyEvil: Much like the Disney version, Frollo. Downplayed however as, unlike his Disney counterpart and most other examples of this trope, no one is stupid enough to trust him.


Added DiffLines:

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Inverted with Quasimodo and Frollo. In the book and most other adaptations, Frollo is Quasimodo's adoptive father figure. In this film, due to the DecompositeCharacter trope mentioned above, Frollo and Quasimodo do not interact directly until their fight on the balcony in the finale.

* {{Expy}}: Frollo seems to be a [[CompositeCharacter mix]] between [[Disney/BeautyAndTheBeast Gaston]], [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] and [[Disney/TheLionKing Scar]] instead of [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame the actual Frollo.]] Though the Gaston elements are not quite as blatant as [[Film/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameGoldenFilms the Golden Films version.]]

* BetterThanItSounds: believe it or not, this movie is actually really fun and well-made. Make no mistake it's a merciless Mockbuster designed purely to snatch audience and cash from Disney's Hunchback, but it actually does a good job of being a variation on the story and takes more than a few liberties. I mean [[spoiler: it turns out Quasimodo is an abandoned baby angel and his "hunch" is a blood-filled sack where his wings are growing]]! And it makes sense! And is foreshadowed properly because of his [[spoiler: healing magic and summoning life to statues]] earlier in the movie!
