Judge Claude Frollo
for Judge Claude Frollo in DISNEY'S THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
Suggested by thecookieprincess
This live action remake of the Disney adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel takes place in Paris at the time of brutal Anti-Romani movements. The city's corrupt judge, Claude Frollo, tracks down and kills a few gypsies and sees that one of their "stolen goods" is a baby... with a physical deformity. Assuming it as a demon, Frollo attempts to drop the baby into a well until the archdeacon from Notre Dame stops him and tells him that to redeem his immortal soul, he must raise and care for the child. Frollo reluctantly accepts, and decides to let him stay in the bell tower. He also assumes the boy may be useful to him someday, so Frollo names him "Quasimodo" and spends the next 20 years rasing and educating him. Quasimodo currently works as the church's bell ringer. Frollo tells Quasi that the outside world is a dark, cruel place unfit for "ugly" people. But despite that, with encouragement from his talking gargoyle friends, Quasi decides to explore. Upon attending the Feast of Fools, he meets a beautiful and kind-hearted gypsy named Esmeralda. He also meets the charming captain of the royal guard, Phoebus. Although, just like Frollo warned him, a few people laugh and throw ripe fruit at Quasi. He believes his master was right and returns to the tower. But soon after, Frollo chases after Esmeralda, who then claims sanctuary at Notre Dame. Rated "PG-13" for "Dark thematic material involving atrocities, violence, some rude humor, brief sexual content, and some language."
