The film is mostly based on the 1996 Disney animated film, scrapped ideas from the 1996 Disney animated film, the 1999-2002 Berlin Disney stage play by James Lapine and elements from the Victor Hugo novel. The film is rated PG-13 and is much darker in tone. The death of Quasimodo's mother is far more graphic. Claude Frollo's backstory of being a priest before he became a judge and has a younger brother named Jehan. The Gargoyles humor is not over the top and are confirmed to be in Quasimodo's imagination. Brutish Guard and Oafish Guard are portrayed as serious and threatening. New songs, a happy ending and a sad ending. The happy and sad endings are based on ending that were scrapped from the 1996 Disney animated film. In both endings Esmeralda kills Judge Claude Frollo, in order to save Quasimodo. In the happy ending, in a fit of rage Quasimodo brutally beats up Frollo after discovering that he lied to him about his mother and Esmeralda kills Judge Frollo and sucessfully saves Quasimodo when she kicks Claude Frollo off the cathedral.
