English Lyrics:
Beata Maria
You know I am a righteous man
Of my virtue I am justly proud
Beata Maria
You know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd
Then tell me, Maria,
Why I see her dancing there
Why her smouldering eyes still scorch my soul
I feel her, I see her
The sun caught in her raven hair
Is blazing in me out of all control
Like fire
Hellfire
This fire in my skin
This burning desire
Is turning me to sin
It's not my fault
I'm not to blame
It is the gypsy girl
the witch who sent this flame
It's not my fault
If in God's plan
He made the Devil so much
Stronger than the man
Protect me, Maria
Don't let this siren cast her spell
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone
Destroy Esmeralda
And let her taste the fires of Hell
Or else let her be mine and mine alone
(Guard: Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped
Frollo: What?
Guard: She's nowhere in the Cathedral, she's gone.
Frollo: But how -? Never mind. Get out, you idiot!
I'll find her, I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris!)
Hellfire
Dark fire
Now gypsy, it's your turn
Choose me or your pyre
Be mine or you will burn
God have mercy on her
God have mercy on me
But she will be mine
Or she will burn! - Фільми й анімація

Dude, that's perfect!
1:42
I love how, as he is singing this, Esmerelda happens to escape. It is LITERALLY God's response to his prayer. He literally asked "either make her gone from me, or give her to me" and God immediately responded "Ok, she's gone". And his response to the guard is "Nevermind, get out you idiot, I'll find her, and I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris." Yeah, you can blame Satan or God all you want, it's a you problem my guy. You were given an answer and brushed it aside immediately.
He gets exactly what he asks for, but not the way he wanted it. God gave him what he needed exactly when he needed it, but he's too obsessed to realize it, and suffers the consequences.
That is brilliant writing. I never thought of it that way.
this movie does the job of explaining how God can speak to us at times surprisingly well, there'll never appear an angel from heaven to tell you a way out, nor will you hear a voice so strong it'll make you deaf, a door will be open in a subtle way or even apparent and in rare cases does He actually speaks but even then, they're mostly words that mark us on the inside and won't leave easily not things that'll be apparent
Sadly many people don't understand how to listen to God's voice and thus are left wondering where is the answer to their prayer.
@@jellymatsuryuka6853 "If you do things right, no one will know you've done anything at all."
Period
His prayer was literally answered. Esmeralda had escaped, she was out of his hair, he had a perfect opportunity to let the problem be solved without having to even do anything, yet he chooses not to and stubbornly insists on going after her. I like this scene because it shows off an aspect of Frollo's character that I don't think was ever touched in the film before this, he knows what he is doing is a sin, and admits it, but he still chooses it when given the choice.
Best part is that guard at the end as many theorized is an angel because if I remember correctly no other guard noticed the fact that she escaped yet this singular unknown guard appears from nowhere covered in a pale glowing light and tells him she escaped like he already knew this
@@theenderdestruction2362 it’s the same guard who got half his mustache chopped off by Phoebus earlier in the movie. If you look closely enough it’s him but here he is blocked out by this divine light. Also as you have stated this was god knocking at frollo’s door giving him a way out. Frollo chooses to still give into his obsession with Esmeralda and seals his fate. The line “ God have mercy on me “ is so ironic because god have him mercy and he ignored it and of course at the end frollo “ let’s Esmeralda’s fire seer his flesh and bone “
@@thebearproject8573 hmm good eye
I find this is also the case in my own life, but usually only in hindsight. Like "I should have listened to that person/sign/message."
He's not choosing to be stubborn he literally cant control himself at that point ya'll are so ignorant about mentally struggling people
Well someone’s not handling his first crush well.
No kidding. :l

This is so effective because Frolo can’t understand the depths of his evil. This is so shocking how this ended up in an animated film for children. It’s almost like they knew we would revisit this as adults and appreciate it for how raw and powerful this song would be. Shout out to the late Tony Jay for an amazing performance.
When he says “God have mercy on me.” It’s shows at least apart of him knows that what he wants to do is wrong. Yet that moment of self awareness is gone in an instant as his lust for Esmeralda and his warped sense of purity. But in away that makes what Frollo is doing worse because he knows he’s putting his own wants before God while pretending to still be a righteous. This is really deep and will go over most kids heads.
This whole movie gave me major anxiety as a kid and was deeply uncomfortable to watch but now I am in awe that they made movies this good for kids once upon a time compared to the stuff they make now. I feel grateful I got to grow up during Disney's Renaissance period before they went nuts lol.
Disney made family movies. it wasnt intended for you to rewatch 20y later but for everyone to enjoy, adult and child alike
@@dirtnbloodnotherkids Same.
Yep. As much as I loved this movie and this song as a kid, I love it so much more as an adult
"He made the devil so much stronger than a man!"
Anyone who has struggled with addiction or compulsions they don't want to follow, know how true that is.
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7
The devil only plays the part in temptation, but he only brings out what desires you have in your heart
14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire xwhen it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
James 1:14-15
Our flesh only wants sin, but our spirit desires to do what pleases God. Sin brings death but Christ brings life. He died on the cross so he would take that death penalty from us and when he rose from the dead we now have forgiveness of sin when we repent and put our faith in Christ, The Son Of God. When you believe you will be saved and be born again to follow in his ways and put to death the flesh and be born in the spirit.
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
the way the only time i listen to this song when i relapse
Take control of your sin! Twist it to your advantage!
Wise as always tacitus. May God have maercy on all of us in the struggle for freedom of sin.
This song went over my head when I was little but I’ve come back to it and it really speaks to me!! 😮
I love how youtube didnt even bother disabling the comments, they know this song is far from “kids-friendly” content
I am kinda happy even UA-cam knows this is dark
it might be the fact Hell is in the name..... the song in a kid's movie that has the word Hell in it safes it from being neutered by the algorithm
But yet several South Park songs are deemed child friendly because their animated. UA-cam needs to get rid of this stupid system.
Double flores Agreed
Even when it’s not kid friendly it says Miniplayer is off for kids. Like smh
"Be Mine Or You Will Burn!"
Worst. Valentine. Ever.
I may be a villing but dis is dark
How come there are villans worse then me
Bro i would literally die if a guy set me on fire on valentines day, so romantic
*You will* 🟣
“Be mine or you will burn” sounds like it should be on r/niceguys
"God have mercy on her" THIS LINE shows how deep and multi-faceted this character is. He wants to destroy her if she can't be with him, but at the same time asks for forgiveness for both, not just for himself.
They did a great job at portraying Frollo with this song.
Catholics always say that, it’s more a learned behavior than something he actually feels. He wouldn’t even have this internal conflict if the church didn’t keep him from having sex. It’s not about him wanting mercy for her, it’s a critique on Catholicism that on one hand tells you not to cast the first stone and on the other has persecuted people for centuries over their “sins”.
You can also tell by the acting he only means it when talking about himself because he’s afraid.
Yes, and the actor really conveyed the fear of the next line.
@@pennyboom Frollo is not a priest and therefore does not have vows of chastity, he could perfectly try to marry a girl and would not be committing sin.
@ Except in the book, he was. Disney did not do it because of clapback from the church. Remember the uproar from Tom Hanks' The Da Vinci Code movie?
He genuinely thinks he’s a good person which is why he’s so scary
One of the things I love most about this scene is the symbolism at 2:22, Frollo's guard comes from an area of mass emitted light resembling God sending an angel to Frollo saying that Esmeralda has escaped the church and that he doesn't have to worry about her anymore and giving him a second chance to let his obsessions go, but declining it over his lustful desires for Esmeralda and rejects his chance of redemption. This truly makes Frollo one of the best and scariest Disney villains of all time
Then the last part where it looks like HE is in fire
He had his eyes closed but I think god still tried to at least hint better about his future demise if he went down this path
If god really wanted him to become kind why didn’t they give very obvious hints that they’re going to hell if they continue down this path
@@powdereyes2210
God did give hints, Frollo ignored them to pursue his sinful path to Hell. God can only do so much.
@@powdereyes2210 @powdereyes2210 Frollo had the most obvious hint of all time: he prayed that Esmeralda would not have an effect on him, and that ig Esmeralda would not be with him, that she would be doomed to Hell. Seconds after, he receives notice that Esmeralda has escaped, meaning she can't have any effect on him unless he chooses, since she wants nothing to do with him. Also, in Frollo's eyes, that's effectively damnation since she is a gypsy. However, he chooses to not recognize this as such, despite having committed strong acts of discrimination against gypsies. God answered Frollo's prayer, but he didn't like the answer, even though it was exactly what he asked for. Frollo simply let the devil influence him because he loved the rush of arrogance and lust.
@@chinsaw2727 God is all-knowing and all-powerful but he can only do so much? 🤔
Also everything is apparently according to his plan, so really Frollo was doomed from the start.

Predestination is a joke, and nothing is perfect, not even God. Don’t buy into everything His groupies say.
The extreme version of "I wont say I'm in love"
😂😂😂
The hellish version XD
Girrrr
Talking about rotten judgment...
Yes
I can’t believe Disney had the balls to make this movie. Sad we will never see anything this good again.
Esmerelda: just literally minding her own business, not bothering anyone
Frollo: and I took that personally
Please don't let current day Disney touch this one...
Na they don’t have the balls anymore to do a film that so openly critics religion.
But yes they would definitely ruin it like the reset if attempted
@Camila Rosa Pérez Montes If I was going to choose someone to play Frollo in the live action...(well, my first choice would be Tony Jay (who was Frollo’s voice actor), but he died in 2006), but I would probably have to go with the guy who played the 12th Dr Who (can’t remember his name), he looked and sounded a lot like Frollo.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who’ll walk out of the cinema if they ruin Hellfire😂.
Please
@Camila Rosa Pérez Montes a lot of the critics (and fans I'm guessing) agreed that had they cut the comic relief gargoyles then it would probably have a higher level of critical acclaim.
I understand why Disney added them, but imagine if they'd of had the balls to have a straight forward animated musical drama.
But they do get credit for making a "kids" movie that touches on many adult themes.
I hope they don't. I don't want them to ruin this. Hopefully that whole fiasco with Mulan made them learn their lesson.
Guard: "Sir? Why are you telling the fireplace how aroused you are?"
“GET OUT YOU IDIOT!!”
"Oh your still here!"
"Get the hell out"
God watching like:
:/ “really man???”
''At least I'm not a man that get turned on by a painting of a hand
NOW GET OUT!"
@@ihavethehighground8697 Aha, jojo finds a way to be in every damn comment section
Other commenters have pointed out how heavenly the mysterious guard appears, but I also love how devilish Frollo becomes after he turns his back on the guard/God.
Look at his body language when he sings the word "Hellfire" at 1:26 compared to 2:39. The first time he's terrified of it and trying to protect himself from it, the second time he looks more like he's invoking it. 2:39-2:46 visualises Frollo's hypocrisy perfectly; he calls Quasimodo a monster for his hunched back, and he calls Esmerelda a witch, but what do we see Frollo doing there? Invoking the fires of hell and darkness while dressed in a long black cloak like a witch performing a Black Mass, and he's also hunched over just as badly as Quasi but with more jagged and harsh angles.
I also note that after he damns himself he doesn't get any more sexy images of Esmerelda (and in fact destroys the one piece of clothing he has of hers,) presumably because the devil no longer has any need to tempt him. Frollo's effectively sold his soul already (and since he was too arrogant and self-righteous to realise what he was doing he didn't even strike a decent Faustian bargain and get some short-term benefits), and is irrevocably on his way to hell, so all he's getting is a mouthful of ash while his new master laughs at him.
You're comment is really focused and insightful. I like how you said he sold his soul to the devil and his eating the ash that his new master rewards him with for his allegiance, such a cool imagery. Noice! (●´ω｀●)
I don't like analysing this movie from a strictly religious standpoint, but your comment is amazing. I 100% agree on you for the first part, while I give another interpretation for things treated in the last part of your comment. I don't think the devil or God were ever actually involved in the story... Frollo did all of this HIMSELF, at least in my opinion. Really cool comment tho, I enjoyed reading it a lot especially because It gave me a very different point of view/lecture of his arc, a more religious one I didn't ever consider since I'm not religious. Props!
My personal interpretation of this is a little different - the Devil bailed out when he realised just what Frollo wanted and even asked God permission to enter a holy place and take Frollo's soul.
Let that sink in - _the Devil_ bailed out because he found Frollo too horrifying to deal with. Frollo is _that_ bad.
Those were the days... When souls just jumped in the pits of Hell like mindless chinchillas!😈😈😈
@@nathanjackson9112What?! Nothing is too horrible for that twisted bastard! Lol
2:59 “god have mercy on her, god have mercy on me.” is so powerful to me, the scenery and everything.
“god have mercy on her”
asking for mercy on esmeralda for what he is about to do
“god have mercy on me”
asking for mercy for what he is going to do to her because he knows deep down its malicious and evil
Or maybe cause he thinks like she is sinning and dragging him to there too.

Love this movie, because it proves that just because someone believes in God doesn't make them a good person. But the same time it doesn't demonise the church. It recognises that good people also follow god and people need it in their lives for a sense of direction and meaning. It gives a very balanced view of religion to children.
Was just thinking a similar thing, and this movie makes a proper villain who is Christian rather than going the easy route and making them completely immoral and remorseless. With his second line of "Of my virtue I am justly proud", we already have a separation from this man and the values of Christianity, and coupling that with what the choir is singing in latin, viewers understand that he is wrong, but not because of Christianity.
God Is just as bad as Satan.
I was OBSESSED with this movie as a kid. I broke the VHS we used to own from rewinding it so much. My mom told me I used to watch it 4-5 time a week. I love it even more as an adult but mini me had great taste back then lmao.
Most people don’t care for this as kids…
I did the same thing with The Lion King as a kid. I used to watch it constantly on VHS with my sister nearly everyday. I didn’t care for this movie so much as a kid simply because I didn’t fully understand it. Now that I’m an adult however, this along with The Lion King are my top 10 favorite Disney movies
I remember the first time I watched this movie as a little kid I was screaming “NOOOOO” at the tv when he was about to drop baby Quasimodo into the well at the beginning.
I was very distressed 😂
@@edgarallanpoestheblackcat6613I definitely didn't understand the plot as a kid but I really connected with the "outcast" feeling being a friendless introvert growing up.
I just saw this movie for the first time ever and was blown away how amazing the music is. Not to mention the animation work on Frollo. The fluent movements and details and expressions. Amazing. And all perfect with well chosen voice actor. This song will remain in one of my favourite Disney songs.

So true, so, so true. Well, I kinda liked it when I was little, but it wasn’t one of the films that I would watch all the time. Now that I’m older, it’s one of my favourite films.
It actually was one of my favorite movies when I was little 😂
I actually liked it as a kid and now my 8 year old cousin likes it since we just finished it again
@@karydiaz2945 me too lol
I'm thirteen and I love this movie.
I have always thought that when the guard enters, it is actually Maria offering him a chance at redemption. Frollo is already in hell, his soul is damned. Much of the song is all red but when the door opens everything turns blue. The flames stay in place, the chimney that would be the hell. Maria intercedes for Frollo and makes the gypsy escape to give him one last chance. Frollo rejects the help of Maria, who was asking moments before and stays next to the flames, finishing surrendering to hell. As soon as the door closes, that divine blue disappears and the infernal red takes over the whole room.
Bro I always thought that too
The use of the confiteor and kyrie in the background choir is so genius. Incredible songwriting. Disney just doesn’t do it like this anymore.
That because feminist women have taken the company over 😢
@@kobainpeep7114😑. You know that Esmeralda is an indipendent strong woman and this film IS feminist, right?
She is simply written by competent people.
Untrue. Yoi people attsch feminism to anything. This film is pretty neutral.

@@ade65 Relatable
Cant forget our knees.
Why
The countless detentions. --____--
"it's not my fault, I'm not to blame..."
The background singers are singing "mea culpa, mea culpa" during that part, which means "my fault, my fault" and is part of an old prayer of repentance that says, "through my fault, through my fault, through my most grevious fault" (mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa).
The background singers are head on contradicting him.
Awesome catch
The whole sequence starts with the "confiteor Deo", which is the beginning of the Catholic Penitential Act. And Frollo repeats it with his starting words (beatae Mariae). It's masterfully embedded in the religious scene with Frollo's refusal of his own guilt and his estrangement from the "right" path.
Those are the words from the Penitential Act: Confiteor deo omnipotenti, beatae Mariae semper virgini, beato Micaeli arcangelo, sanctis apostolis, omnibus sanctis et tibi pater, quia peccavi nimis, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, kyrie Eleison. Wich means I confess to almighty God, to holy Virgin Mary, to holy Archangel Michael, to holy apostles, to all of saints and to you, my father, because I have committed many sins, through my fault, my fault, my most grevious fault. Lord have mercy on me.
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to know what they were saying and what it meant. What about the shadows at the end? Were they shadows of the saints?
@@autobotrock4789 in my opinion, those are judges, a projection of his coscience and the inner conflict in him.
Truly the greatest Disney villain of all time, and truly the most evil. No mustache twirling, no gimmick, just pure hate, arrogance and manipulation.
“Of my virtue I am justly proud” is such an amazing line. Sums up his whole character.
Edit: It is a clip from a Disney film not a theological debate stop arguing guys
Yes!
Arrogant and smug 😂
“God hates a prideful look”. I think that pretty much sums up the true biblical view of people like Frollo too, which is fitting because he’s meant to depict those who self-righteously claim to follow God while harboring hatred and cruelty in their heart. Just like Frollo did the entire movie.
@sam-ht6qv What? Pride in your own accomplishments is never allowed. The Bible says not to boast or brag except regarding Christ alone, and saying you are "justly proud of your own virtue" is sin, because this is not regarding anything Christ-like. It's regarding he and himself.
Take your death and rape cult somewhere else.
He's proud of his lacking virtue without realizing he's lacking, bragging in a prayer just to drive it home. Absolutely.
At 2:23 the guard enters. He is framed by a soft blue light, and we pointedly never see his face. He says that Esmerelda is gone, and that Frollo has lost her. I like to think that he's actually an angel, and that God is giving Frollo one last chance to let go of his obsession and find peace. But Frollo sends him away, rejecting redemption in favour of pursuing his lust to whatever end.

Josh Cain dude I want to be your friend. I love the way your mind works
This. I didnt think about the angel simbolysm but it is very obvious even without it he is given the choice to persuit or forget and he himself decides to follow through with catching her and proceeds to blame her.

The way he says "dark fire" is flawless
There's nothing more scarier than an evil human character in movies like this. In other Disney movies there were witches, lions, supernatural beings but they've all only impacted the protagonist or maybe someone else throughout the plot and are comedic in nature rather than scary. But Frollo is capable of mass destruction and is extremely vile in nature. What's more scarier is what he's capable of.
I’ve seen better villains. But being a Disney fan isn’t easy business

*"I'll find her...I'll find her if I have burn to down all of Paris"*
That's quite the foreshadowing there Disney
@Don_StefanoValentini they predicted a lot of stuff
In the Movie he actually burns almost everything BUT the Notre Dame. In reality Notre Daqme burned and everyone else was OK .
Looked down to read the words when I realized Frollo was about to say them
This is like Donald trump vs Mexico
@Don_StefanoValentini it was purely by chance
What I love about these lyrics is how it brilliantly depicts the “virtue” of Frollo through a narrative of sins that are justified to him. Within the first line he says “Of my VIRTUE I am justly PROUD” (Pride being the worst of the seven sins). The very next thing he says “You know I’m so much purer than the common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd” which is a brilliant description of his VANITY and ENVY; two other sins. Then he has a few lines about his desire for Esmeralda, a clear-cut depiction of the sin of LUST and to a degree also GREED. Then after he feels judged by the choirs, he projects his sinful guilt onto Esmeralda, begging for her to be condemned to the fires of hell where the flames may… Christ… SEER HER FLESH AND BONES?… If that’s not an admittance of the sin of WRATH, I don’t know what is. Brilliant lyricism!
Also to continue about his Wrath; “I’ll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris.” Again, he’s pronouncing all his sins and flaws but in a way where they sound justified to him to a point where he’s the virtuous saintly good guy who just struggles to claw free from the grasp of the devil. Scary to think that many “virtuous” people throughout history probably did and still do justify their obviously sinful nature in this way, but this complex flaw of human nature is captured incredibly in this song.
You're brilliant love the way you explained it 😊
He was saying “ protect me Maria, don’t let this siren cast her spell, don’t let her fire seer my flesh and bone “ he kinda foreshadowed what was going to happen to him for ignoring the sign god sent. To answer your other question about him wanting Esmeralda to go to hell is pretty much how you said it. He either wanted her to be his and his alone or she can go to hell for being a “witch” as he called her.
The way they animated the fire and smoke mirage of Esmeralda always hypnotized me, and the tambourine sound? Literal chills.
I personally laughed my ass off when after the scene he says “Yes, I just had a little trouble with the fireplace “

Bruh this guy is actually terrifying he isn't just some villian trying to act evil or look baddass he is legit terrifying he is a person thinking hes above sin he blames the "witch" its just horrifying
Frollo believes he's the rightiues god man
get a grip
@@mrabcd3819 which is funny because he blames God too and then casts the personification of his conscience into the fireplace as it tells him it's all his fault in latin
The terrifying part is that, he is a man with a complex that is basically unshakable; he thinks he is the righteous man, but yet, almost burns an entire mill down filled with innocent children and women simply due to a rumor he heard. He thinks he’s justly and reasonable, yet, he buries half of Paris in smoldering lava.
But yeah, that’s just my thoughts on this situation
It’s scary because people like this actually exist
2:59 As long as he says “God have mercy on her” then the possibility that he feels nothing but hatred for her is eliminated. Even during a mental breakdown, he isn’t able to conceal the fact that he feels some care for her, care that derives from his own lust for her. That is why I love Frollo (and why I consider him to be one of the most underrated Disney villains of all time). He isn’t a one dimensional villain who does evil “just because”, but he’s a three dimensional human being with complex emotions and paradoxical intentions. He feels lust for Esmeralda and he’s aware of that, yet the reason that he intends to rid of her is because he’s deeply religious.
Also he's hot and I think he may be packin- *gets damned*
God 2d animation just feels so much more expressive and emotional wish Disney would tap back into 2d animation again
Edit: I just came back to watch this after listening to Belle of Notre Dame and god damn, literally everyone on this cast can sing so well

Claude Frollo by Starr Lewis
Find it on google
@Starr Lewis The Author Where does it say that they want the book?
Not pointing fingers, but you kinda stole this comment.
The Bible does mention that you will be put in the presence of angels and not know it
And he quite literally says "get out you idiot" just showing how blind and corrupt frollo is
"it's not my fault when in god's plan, he made the devil so much stronger than a man"
need I remind you that this was a Disney movie
He sounds like a Reddit atheists lol

@@juice2307 exactly, he’s only powerful if you fall for his trap. People keep being afraid because they think of how scary the devil is but in reality all you have to do is ignore the people who make jokes that are disrespectful to Christianity and ask for gods help
I think I may have noticed something with the shadows
During the final moments of the song we see many shadows rising up to "heaven" but Frolo is physically in the red
However his shadow still is still partially in the blue
Yet when he declares esmerelda will burn if she doesn't choose him he falls down and his shadow is dragged into the red
Dooming his soul to hell
"He made the devil so much stronger than a man" seriously , at this time , Disney had courage enough to put in its movies iconic and awesome lines like this
-Minister Frollo, the gypsy has escaped.
-Go away I'm singing!
Minister Frollo, a rogue orchestra has entered the cathedral.
K189T was that some reference from long ago?🤔
Lmao 😂😂
K189T here I am trying to listen and be brooding and this just made me chuckle and forget why I was even watching lol.
ahaha
Holy shit the madman actually did it
Ale Xaw the absolute madlad!
That Frollo :,V
villain of all villains, don’t mess with Fallo, it will burn Paris’ money from tourists
Ahhahaha from Beyond the grave
Frollo has got to be the best Disney villain ever. He was so real, an actual person. That was just scary. Frollo had his own internal screwed up sense of perdition, sexually repressed, hypocritical, full of his own sanctimonious shit, and in short a cruel disgraceful excuse of a man.
I like this song because it shows rightly how tempting the devil and sins are to man and how easily even a man of god can fall to them.
I also like the fact that throughout the song he was kinda battling himself, trying to resist his sins and stay holy but in the end he accepted that he couldn’t erase his sins and could only let them envelop him until Esmeralda is either his or dead.
Also can we talk about how devoted he was to that last note 😂 like he sung so hard he fell unconscious
that last part of Frollo fainting is actually funny because the voice actor couldn't naturally do that high of a tone. so the song writers had to train his voice to go that high which probably took a lot out of him during that delivery
Lolol xD
Exactly. Even the strongest people can be very weak when it comes to temptation.
That's last note is so funny but Soo freaking true. Like he died to get that note out. His soul left his body for that.
Frollo was always a repressed, racist piece of shit. He didn't "Succumb to sin" he was always depraved but then he found a scapegoat for his depravity who he wants either make into a sex slave or kill outright. Don't tell me you actually fucking relate to this?
I'm Catholic and I love how the song starts with the Archdeacon and other priests chanting the Confiteor and leads into Frollo's prayer to the Virgin Mary and how the chorus continues the Confiteor in the background of the song. It's just so perfect. This whole movie is a masterpiece in it's story telling and characters.
Fun fact. In this moment (2:21) God answers to Frollo’s “prayers”: getting rid of the gipsy without any bloodshed. Note that the guard’s face is covered by a dazzling light. But Frollo decided to stay in his hate and toxic love, and being condemned to hell
P.S. I’m orthodox 😊
"Hippity hoppity Esmeralda is now my property"
Was Frollo out of his mind or what. As a result of not being able to have a woman he wanted the man was actually willing to burn a whole city full of innocent people. Frollo did not care less.

XDDDDD OMG
*"it's not my fault if in God's plan, he made the Devil so much stronger than a man"*
what an awesome line
And by doing so men are to lean on God who will deliver them. Had Frollo the Holy Spirit dwelling in him, he may have been delivered from his villainy
It's true. That line is...fire.
I'll see myself out.
BS excuse though 😂 but brilliant line
@@mary-catherinecroshaw6369 Yeah the whole point of Christianity is that humanity has been given the strength to resist Satan. Frollo says he's purer and more righteous than everyone else while simultaneously saying the devil is too strong. Not very faithful of him lol
@@LordVader1094 Honestly i think humans are more dictated by memes than religion. But for people who find salvation, obviously some paths are dictated by what one goes with
The Line “you know I’m so much purer than the common, vulgar, weak licentious crowd” really just goes to show how much he thinks he’s better than everybody else
Is it really different from how most socially upwardly mobile people are educated in college today?The words are slightly changed but the implications are the same. I've seen how college students talk about the undereducated. Its the same implication of superior morality and virtue.

Imagine destroying a city because you got a guilty hard on. This is one of the best songs/sequences Disney ever produced though.
This is the best song Disney ever made. It's genius. It's harmonic, and it's definitely not for children.
As a child I never realised Frollo's intentions. I always thought that he hates her for being a gypsy. Now I am 29 years old and I am BEYOND shocked over the fact that he blames Esmeralda herself for his feelings for her, this is victim blaming on a whole other level. Its unbelivable dark and easily makes him the baddest villain in Disney history.
I watched this movie when I was ten
Lol that’s so disgusting
Even the storybook adaptation just say Frollo just wanted to start a war and rid of the gypsies. Adolf frollo
In terms of books, better read the victor hugo version instead though.
@Gamias Tou UA-cam Zootopia was also amazing
"When I was a lad I didn't know what Frollo was singing. And now that I'm grown I'm like bwaaaaaaah....Frollo is a perv!"

I mean, he certainly is thirsty.
But it's dark out....

*puts on sunglasses*
....He's pretty damn thirsty!
AWWWWW YEAAAAAAH-
1:23 to 1:39 gives me chills every time I hear this song.
Ironically, by proclaiming his righteousness and purity, Claude Frollo demonstrates the first and most dangerous of the seven mortal sins: pride. In the Catholic tradition, pride is the root from which all other sin grows.
As John Milton said in "Devil's Advocate", vanity was definitely his favorite sin
One of the rare bad guy songs where the bad guy isn't having the time of their life.

More often than not, they get turned on by a child in a diaper. I wish I were kidding. They,a five month old, baby-whatever, seduced them.
Whenever you shit on lawyers remember they have to hear this guy out irregardless of their own personal feelings. They can drop the case if they work at their own firm but pro bono work has to be available to these people, per due process. A judge can, even after reviewing the case, appoint a lawyer because again, they (the offender and defendant in this case) have to have legal representation if they request it.

Whait, is this a DISNEY MOVIE THIS LOOKS SO BRUTAL
If you compare this song with any other Disney villain song It really stands out with it's uniqueness.
Where other villains are singing jolly songs about how evil they are and revelling in it, Frollo actually fears his evil tendencies and is tortured by his increased insanity.
Frollo is a villain obsessed with his religion and his warped view of justice.
He is also self depraved, (rejecting basic human needs) which results in emotionally unstable behaviour when confronted directly with it. (sexual attraction)
I love how dark Disney got with this movie. It's one of those movies that you wouldn't get tired of watching.

He is terrified of hellfire. The belief that you can be tortured for eternity will drive you insane.
@@hypers829 which is why introducing these beliefs to children is immoral.
@@RichardLeslieWhereat No that's why you have to do it the right way. It's about God's love not about fear. Lead with hope not despair. I think if you say "don't do this or you go to hell" that's really messed up. But that's not the only way you can talk about it. And it's not the way I heard it. However understanding hell at a young age can help you to feel that your bad and evil actions harm others and should be fought against. But as God said "be not afraid" it's wrong when people try to promote religion by fear, especially in regards to hell.
@@ihateyoutube8789 If you tell a kid that there is the potential for burning for eternity, there is something fucked up in you.

Probably one of the best instances of humanizing a villain and making him a complex, nuanced human being without detracting from the fact who he is and what he represents is unforgivable. You pity him, and hate that you have any sympathy for this man who has none for others.
I like how in his visions Frollo stands before the court, is accused of sinning, the hooded figures speak of his guilt (mea culpa means my fault), which he refuses to admit, and when the verdict is passed the court disappears and Frollo literally goes up in flames, because that's how he dies at the end. It's as if his fate was already sealed when he decided to seek Esmeralda.
Disney never even came close to writing a villain this good ever again. Hades, Scar, Ursala, they're all great but Frollo is scary in a way most villains just aren't. He's not a lion, a witch or a demon fr hell. He's just a man, and the fact that his dark drive leads to so much death and destruction is bone chilling.
Musical frollo is still better
Hades is the funniest villain, but Frollo is definitely the most terrifying. That makes him the best villain.
Also because a cruel and corrupt official using their power to get what they want, no matter who it hurts, is a very realistic villain. Heck the whole Me Too movement was all about exposing people just like this.
Yes, the fact that there are really people like him in this world makes it much more disturbing.
I just wanna say this because Hades is kinda in the topic but why in the movie did they make him a villain? Sure he’s the god/ruler of the underworld but he’s one of the most calm guys in Greek mythology, I like to think that they gave Hera’s role (Heracles’s “mother”) to hades but they could’ve just made her the villain instead because in mythology she tried multiple times to kill Heracles until it drove him insane. And that’s not even scratching the surface of every mythological inaccuracies in the movie Hercules, cause first off since it’s *Greek* mythology it’s *Hera-cles* not *Her-cules* cause Hercules is his Roman name
why isn't Disney hardcore like it used to be?
Because SJWs
They are, this was just the darkest since it was inspired by a book. But Zootopia, Frozen and a lot of the live-action movies are still as dark as they were.
rodrigo pozzer please don't tell me that zootopia and frozen are half as dark as this movie is
+rodrigo pozzer ...Frozen? Dark?!? LOL!!! It's over-hyped kiddy trite. Now Zootopia on the other hand was *amazing*. I wouldn't call it 'dark' like Hunchback's Gothic subdued color grading though. It dealt with serious societal issues in a beautiful allegory (not unlike Animal Farm imo) I would call it maybe...adult? But that implies other things.
yes +Aj Souza, I meant dark in that way. It is different and my language might be wrong. Frozen too, parents died, Elsa almost killed two innocent men, and Hans would fucking decapitate Anna and leave her to die with her heart. Is not super dark like Hunchback. Cause Hunchback was inspired by a novel. And thye tonned the novel a lot down for the movie. Still, Disney was testing at that time.
I always loved the last shot of Frollo doing the face-down penitent prayer, which is an actual position that some of the monastic orders use (at least here in Italy) when either confessing sins during prayer (thus not during ritual confession) or simply during deep contemplation. While nowadays there are various religious orders that simply prostrate face down i know that, at least during early medieval age, it was common facing down with the arms perpendicular to your body forming a cross. Amazing attention to details
Not to mention..bar none one of the best villains to ever be put both on book and film; each of them with its merits considering how different the original version is compared to the Disney one.
This must have been amazing to see on the big screen.
the dislikes are from the guards in the church who were trying to sleep

You may not rest now, there's a old man singing a self opera nearby

@@lavenderhuman You are goddamn right.
He blamed God and accuses God of making the Devil stronger than Man. In fact, the Devil is nowhere near as strong as Man. The Man has much more favor and Grace from God than Satan. This in itself makes Man a lot stronger than Satan and Frollo's reminder of this was his guard entering to remind him of his freedom and power (granted throughout a lifetime).

@@bg.dragon1419 aw man 😕
In an alternative universe, Frollo just rubs one out and then there's no movie.
Or do his bidding to Esme
Funny thing is that during this very song...Frollo got exactly what he wanted without really doing anything. The guard enters and informs him that Esmeralda has escaped.
She's gone. She's no longer his problem. He had the perfect opportunity to let go of his desires for her and move on without tainting his core beliefs. His prayer was ANSWERED.
But he chose NOT to do that.
Instead he pursued her and tried to destroy her culture and kill her. He was so adamant that this "problem" had to be solved by his own hand to prove his devotion to the church that it ended up destroying him instead.
What twisted irony.
It’s crazy how I never looked at the guard being an angel or god intervening until now. I always took it as the guard sounding tired from looking for Esmeralda. Now looking at it you’re right frollo literally had god answer his prayer and he pretty much sealed his fate by dismissing god’s help. So many times in this movie did they foreshadow frollo paying the ultimate price. When the fire wrapped around him after blaming god for making the devil stronger then a man, the other line “ don’t let her fire seer my flesh and bone” when his carriage was destroyed and it showed him angry with a blazing inferno behind him and the beginning about the gargoyles “ can stone talk “
Plus, look at the color contrasts whenever frollo or the guard are talking.
The guard being behind the moonlight (i assume) making it look like an angel just knocked on his door to deliver god's message
While Frollo's behind the "hellfire", symbolizing how his mind has already fallen on temptation
@@Jorge_super Spot on!
