Heartwarming / The Hunchback of Notre Dame II

• Following from the ending of the previous movie, Quasimodo is finally treated with respect and care that he lacked for most of his life. While he still desires a love life that is ultimately fulfilled with Madellaine, it's clear from the start that he's more than earned his new life.
• Quasimodo and Madellaine's first meeting is genuinely sweet, as they both show their quirky sides while they bond over the bells. Though this moment is unfortunately tainted when Madellaine finally sees Quasi's face and runs away in fear.
• "Stick With You" is a sweet little duet that showcases the loving bond between Quasi and Zephyr.
  • After previously running away, Madellaine is ordered by Sarousch to follow and observe Quasimodo. Though she was scared by Quasi's appearance before him, seeing his relationship with Zephyr allows her to realize what a sensitive and wonderful person Quasi actually is and immediately falls for him.
  • While most of the characters from the first film initially feared Quasimodo and had to get to know him first, Zephyr has clearly known Quasimodo his entire life and doesn't have any fear of him whatsoever, and Quasi serves as a loving uncle figure to him.
• The family hug between Phoebus, Esmerelda, and Zephyr when the young boy is rescued from Sarousch.
• During the "Fa la la la Fallen In Love" number, the townspeople have a verse observing and celebrating Quasimodo's budding romance. They've clearly come a long way from fearing and humiliating him in the first film.
• When Phoebus suggests Madellaine is using Quasimodo to get to the La Fidele, a hurt Quasimodo asks "because no one can like me, for me?". Phoebus immediately clarifies himself, saying that anyone would be lucky to be with Quasimodo, and his suspicions are solely based on Madellaine's shady history with the circus.
  • When his suspicion were proven half correct (it was Madellaine's boss, Sarousch), he is angry at Madellaine for hurting Quasimodo after he leaves her, and has her arrested for her involvement.
• Hugo playing with the figurines and referring to Djali, in French, as "My little love goat" is surprisingly cute.
• The Meaningful Echo Madellaine uses to convince Quasimodo that she's on his side and wants to help: "There's more to me...", a phrase that's as true about him as it is about her.
