The Hunchback of Notre Dame

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" follows Quasimodo, a reclusive bell-ringer with a pronounced deformity, who yearns to experience life beyond the confines of Notre Dame's towering spires. Defying his stern guardian, Judge Claude Frollo, a strict and authoritarian figure in Paris, Quasimodo ventures out into the city and encounters Esmeralda, a brave and compassionate Romani woman. Their meeting sparks a struggle against oppression and prejudice as they confront Frollo's harsh rule and fight for justice and acceptance.

Trivia:
1. The character of Quasimodo was inspired by Victor Hugo's 1831 novel and has been adapted numerous times, but Disney's 1996 animated version is particularly noted for its darker themes and complex characters, unusual for animated family films.
2. The musical score, composed by Alan Menken, includes the song "Out There," which profoundly expresses Quasimodo's desire for freedom and was uniquely crafted to balance both the character's innocence and yearning.
3. The animators conducted extensive research on medieval Paris, even studying the architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral in depth to authentically recreate the setting and atmosphere, blending historical accuracy with artistic interpretation.
