Most Disney villains fall into this system They either: Show up after the first act sparingly(Ursula) Are in the first act but are relegated till the end(scar) Exist for 12 minutes at the end(all bad twist villains) Have plenty of screen time spread evenly(frollo and Hades)
Fun Fact: Gargoyles spiritual meaning is scaring evil. Quasimodo was friends with them, meaning he was good But Frollo being scared of them, meant he was full of sin And he found that out when the Gargoyle roared. He found out he was sinful And yelled for his life
Brayden Murphy I think that actually Esmerelda is the human representation of opportunity. She is the reason Gypsies are accepted because, also that Phoebus can accept the Gypsies, the end of the horrid Frollo, and the freedoms and acceptance of Quasimodo.
The pun after Hellfire; 'Is everything alright, sir?', 'I had some trouble with the fireplace ' is definitely underrated. There should be tons of memes around the Internet but I cannot find a single one...

have you ever noticed that frollo gets more evil looking and bedraggled as the movie goes on. I mean in the begging sequence he looks normally, but at the end right before his death, his eyes are all demonic glowing. idk just something i saw
@@justagayguyfromrussia5294 there are always 2 sides of the coin, some extremely religious people like mother teresa are good and some are evil like religious cults. Dont be close minded.
I think it is also worth mentioning the complexity of the song Hellfire. This is a lot of history steeped in this film. During the song the red and hooded monks are singing words in Latin that are often pulled from the medieval Catholic Masses, and they directly contradict everything Frollo is telling himself. For example, when he says "It's not my fault" the monks sing "Mea culpa", which is translated as "My fault". Here are is the full Latin translation: I confess to God almighty, to the blessed Mary ever virgin, to the blessed archangel Michael, to the holy apostles, to all the saints, that I have sinned. In thought, in word and deed. My fault, my fault, my most grievous fault, Lord have mercy.
It follows the pattern from the beginning of the movie, where the arch Decan shows up as the physical, verbal representation his guilty conscious in the face of accidently killing the mother. One side justifying his act, the other side reminding him that God, the eyes of Notre dame saw what he did and what he needs to do to make up for it. Of course we know how reluctantly agreed to taking him in, only because he hoped someday quasi would be "of use to him".
During the song a guard showed up saying to Frollo that she’s gone. We don’t see his face because a soft blue light envelopes him perhaps symbolizing that god is giving him one last chance to let go of his obsession and find peace. But Frollo sends him away, rejection redemption and leading him to his death
@@Joshharrison224 Basically, they go to Church, read their Bible and pray, but all they do is HEAR the Word Of God and not actually DO what it says. They also tend to use their faith to as some justification as to why they think they are better then others which is the complete opposite as to what is actually taught in the Bible. Frollo takes all that, mixes it together and makes interesting while being fairly accurate.
I am currently in the musical version of Hunchback of Notre Dame, and in that version of the story, Frollo has a brother named Jehan. The two were orphaned and taken in by the priests at Notre Dame. Frollo trained to be a dedicated priest himself, but Jehan was frustrated by the restrictive environment of the cathedral and began acting out (drinking, going to brothels, etc.) in defiance. Frollo often lied to the priests to keep Jehan out of trouble. One day, Jehan brought a gypsy girl named Florika to the cathedral as a "present" for Frollo's birthday. This was too much for Frollo, who finally betrayed his brother. I don't think he would have done so had he known that Jehan would be banished from Notre Dame. Years later he got a message from Jehan and found him dying from smallpox; Florika having succumbed a few weeks earlier and leaving behind their child. Frollo adopts the baby after Jehan dies, naming him Quasimodo. Whew that was long. If you're still reading this congrats to you
In my opinion, Frollo is the most powerful Disney villain. He's a definition of the seven deadly sin. He's a threat to a country and refuses to acknowledge his sins.
Quasimodo and Frollo's relationship reminds me so much of Rapunzel and Mother Gothel's in Tangled. I wish I'd given this movie a chance before I watched Tangled, but the only time I've actually watched the full one was about two months ago. I loved it, especially the confrontation scene between Quasi and Frollo. Again, reminds me of Rapunzel standing up to Mother Gothel in the last part of the film.
I saw that parallel when I watched Tangled and when Rapunzel called out Mother Gothel's sham excuses for locking her in the tower. It was basically calling her out on "You locked me to protect me from the world when I should have been protected from you!" When Rapunzel said that, i thought "that's awfully familiar" to Quasimodo calling out Frollo that the world is only a dark and evil place because of people like Frollo.
You are also forgetting about the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I wouldn’t count Lady Tremaine as a dark villian because she didn’t try to murder Cinderella. A dark villian to me is when they try to kill someone.
Frollo: Visibly confused. “What do you mean. I am the statue of perfection. Satan: “Says the guy who tried to kill a deformed baby, sang a song about lust in a freakin kids movie, then killed a bunch innocent people just to remove your sinful temptation for her. So yeah, and just to notify, we already have your room here ready for you when you meet your untimely end. We await your arrival.”
It also makes sense that Esmeralda chose Phoebus as her love in the end. He was the only one to treat her as an actual human being. Frollo denounced her as a witch/devil and Quasimodo held her up as an angel. Not that Quasimodo wasn’t a good friend as a result but Phoebus saw her as the person she was. I know there’s a more tragic side to the relationship in the book but this was suitable for Disney!
Well, in the original novella he was a total jerk meant to parody the typical Prince Charming trope. No mention on Esmeralda's age and backstory, we'll be giving away too much. Disney really turned a dark realistic parody into a typical fairytale.
Yeah the book version makes you feel invested and sympathetic towards his character with his introduction and then...he just...keeps doing worse and worse things. Had I not known what was going to happen next it would have messed me up way harder.
And all because he couldn't have sex because he was a priest! I've always said celibate priests were a bad idea, it leads to them lusting after children, as Frollo lusted after Esmerelda, who , by the way, was only 16 in the novel!

Would he have read it? Books were scarce in a age before printing and owning your own Bible would've been rare as scripture was revered and wouldn't have been in common hands but remain the property of the church. In the scene Hellfire, assuming the room he is singing in is part of his own private appartments in the palace of justice do you notice any bookshelves in his drawing room? No. Also the Bible in the western church would've been written in Latin and in mass would've been recited in Latin. Frollo being a judge must have been well educated and would've been able to comprehend spoken Latin as well as being able to read and write in Latin but the epistles of Paul are cited in short and often lost as the service continues. I struggle to remember old testament readings and new testament readings and vaguely remember the Gospel reading and always forget the sermon. Frollo is a judge and the downside of being a judge is you have to break the command of Jesus 'judge not lest ye be judged'. If you do that profession for long enough and encounter only criminals your colour of humanity changes and you see people as potential criminals and mix that with religious beliefs, sinners as well. And if your on a podium of arbitration (a position a person of good repute in character and conduct can occupy) you stand above others and that changes your perception of yourself eg. 'I have never had to step down so that means I must exceptionally good and exemplary in my character and conduct'. His religious fanaticism is part to blame for his character flaw but his profession I believe has soured his view of humanity and religion.
He also didn't read the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. The pharisee basked in his perceived self-righteousness and bragged about how he is superior to everyone else because of it, just like Frollo does. The tax collector however, recognized the fact he is a sinner and he asked God to have pity on him in humbleness. At the end of the parable Jesus says "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Frollo is just like the Pharisee, blinded by pride and a false sense of superiority, who refuses to recognize he is a sinner too.
Idk if you picked up on this but the Red Hooded figures are representations of the Catholic Inquisition set in a tribunal. Claude Frollo wasn't as obsessed with the fact that he "felt" sinful, so much as he was obsessed that he would LOOK sinful to others and be punished for it. Frollo was rightfully terrified of the Inquisition considering the torture they frequently inflicted on those deemed sinful. The inclusion of, and primary focus of, the Inquisition in his demented nightmares during the song "Hellfire" shows us that even though Frollo was indeed tormented by "temptation" he was more afraid of what people would think of him if they knew he faced temptation - as is often the case with the self-righteous, their image is more important than their reality.
UniquelySamuel That's an insight into this I'd not heard before, although the red robes did suggest something vaguely like a Inquisition. Thank you for pointing this out!
I don't understand, why mother of Quasi have dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes, and his father look same, but their son have red hair and blue eyes and light skin?? He exactly their child??Or not??
K'zarriah Owens in the book she was from rich family and gipsies kidnapped her when she was baby also she is white and blonde unlike disney version and dies at the end of the book
It's sad but people like Frollo actually did exist in real life. And I don't mean recently, but throughout history. Emperor Constantine of Rome is a prime example.
Constantine wasn't A Christian his whole life, He was only baptized as a Christian on his deathbed, But he wasn't like a religious zealot and wasn't lusting after young women or burning people at the stake
I think Frollo also stands out because he has no comedic scenes - no 'minions' that use comic relief that many others do. Not even a pantomimey-type persona. Its more realistic in a way which makes him much more scarey. In my opinion.
Frollo is definitely the darkest villain in Disney, but he's also my favorite 'cause of said darkness. He's clearly not right in the head and yet people don't have a choice but to obey him, except for the priest. Frollo is a tortured soul who was destined for damnation, and I was so happy about the method they chose to kill him 'cause it fit so well. The Lord did indeed smite the wicked and Frollo symbolically fell into the depths of hell where he belongs.
I like how the Archdeacon is a symbol of a righteous clergyman and Frollo is an example of a deceptive and hypocritical one. Kinda of like what's going on in the Catholic Church with the abuse scandals. Not all the priests are bad
That what was made the movie great. It showed that religion can be used for both good and evil. It isn’t inherently good or evil. What people use religion for can be good or evil.
I have been to pairs in real life myself for my graduation ceremony with my mother and I saw just how much people believe in God there and the beauty of Notre Dame myself and it's just as gorgeous as it is in the movie
*I love Frollo* 💜 He's the best Disney villain. And The Hunchback is one of the most unjustly underrated Disney movies ever, and my all time favorite. It's weird how as a kid, I didn't see Frollo like I see him now... I just knew that he was the villain, that's all, I couldn't understand nor even see his true intentions. But now that I'm an adult and I do, I love how psychopathic, cruel, insane, sadistic, lustful and just plain evil he is. *The best* . And I have to say, I far prefer Disney's version of Frollo over Hugo's.
Actually, he isn't psychopathic. A psychopath doesn't take guilt for his actions, Frollo in the other hand knew what he was doing was wrong, only that he refused to acknowledge that he was a sinner. So, no he is not a psychopath, only an insane, xenophobic, sadistic, racist, zealot person.
it's underrated due to tonal failiures with random parts even in the final moments of the film being molested by cartoonish sound effects and comical scenes in a moment that is meant to be dark.
Frollo is different from other Disney villains. He doesn't need magic or weapons to get what he wants, he only has to use his temper and power to control the masses. Everyone is scared of him or mad at him but they can't do anything otherwise they'll be accused of sin and punished. Its messed up but honestly glorious to see.
I like the intro “ Where we discuss fun topics for fun people” Proceeds to talk about a genocidal man who literally burns in the fires of hell! Oh what fun! :)
When I was little I thought the song Hellfire was just some guy planning to kill Esmeralda and I got scarred. Now that I'm older I just find the song creepy and gross.
In the resent musical by Disney of this Movie a bit more was given to Frollo's reasoning. The root for his hate of the Gypsy's in the show wasn't driven by religion alone. As a student his brother and only remaining family gave into lustful desires for a gypsy woman and it led to the brothers being forced apart and after years Frollo only saw his brother again on the death bed. Granted in the play Quasi is his nephew threw the brother and the gyspy woman and the movie gives another way he ended up with him. none the less part of this still could have happend in some form. he sees Gypsys as the ones that took his remaining family away and indirectly responsible for his death. therefore hes driven by vengeance as well as fear feeling those desires that in his eyes destroyed his brothers life and soul.
that musical was so cringy even if it did give him a reason for hating gypsies... ffs couldn't they have just had him pretend to hate their whole race when he was just projecting his anger over esmeralda??
@@g1keitorin765 Catholics are a type of Christian. Back before the protestant reformation the catholic church was the original Christian church in the west. I myself am a protestant Christian but I don't think we have a monopoly on salvation lol.
I don't think I've ever seen this movie. So actually.. to me I was most shocked just to see him crush those bugs! I mean yeah.. they're bugs. But still, that's like one of the only times I've seen Disney show an actual gory squishy twitchy crushy bloody death, not just once but 3 times.
Claude Frollo is my favorite villain of all time. He isn't a dark lord, he isn't a wizard. He doesn't relish in being evil, he doesn't love being bad. He has no master plan or ingenious inventions or dragons. He doesn't want some higher power or eternal life. Frollo is a regular person. He is twisted by his pride; he knows he is sinful and wrong, but his pride blinds him. It is this pride that he clings to, to hide from his failings. He both knows he is wrong, yet believes, honestly to his core, that he is just and right. His death brings us no joy, we don't celebrate his demise. This is because we aren't made to hate him, but to understand him. He is no super evil genius bent on destroying the world, no vengeful bad guy. Frollo is a normal human being. He is just a man blinded by vice. And we very well could become just like him.
@@alexanderharrison3912 He probably has, but twists it to his own personal views. Which is ironically mentioned by him, of all people, when he accuses Esmerelda as a witch that twists everything to her own fiction.
Oml this is great! Frollo is one of my favorite Disney villians! I did find it weird in the book how he was much more compassionate, since I saw the movie first XD
I'm scared of Frollo because of his characteristic (stalking much, sexual harassments toward woman, a murder of Gypsies, he has lust bullies people because of their differences etc). Which is why he's probably the terrifying Disney villain which made him too realistic
Excellent retelling of Frollo's story, he's one of my favorite Disney villains. Not to mention one of the darkest Disney has produced. Out of curiosity, are you familiar with The Secret of Kells or Song of the Sea? I'd recommend you both.
As it’s already been said, he’s the scariest because he’s the most realistic. You can find different variations of his kind throughout history and even to this day.
They played this in choir and I was like, "Ah yeah...what a nice song about repressed sexual desires." And everyone looked at me and I was like " 'tis true"
Frollo is brilliant because he's so realistic. The parallels you see between him and many religious figures of the past and present is uncanny who hide behind religion to justify their actions.
Years before he was (still is) my favorite villain. But lately, after reading the book Notre Dame, I feel bad for him. Brought up in a loveless family, a brilliant mind,studied all sciences at a very young age, adopted baby Quasimodo when everyone wanted to kill him, cared for his brother, utterly devoted to the church... His only mistake was falling in love with Esmeralda. In a moment of reflection he thinks how would he be if he was a normal man, having a normal life and relations with the others.😢
I think the darkest DISNEY villain is indeed Claude Frollo simply because he embodies what make people evil in the real world. He is self righteous, murderous, lust driven, corrupt, cruel, manipulative, xenophobic, abusive, heartless, destructive, deceitful, etc. Usually you can find something comical about a Disney villain or can find someway to sympathize or even relate to them but, that's not the case for Frollo in Disney. There isn't one scene he makes you laugh, there isn't one scene you feel sorry for him, there isn't one moment you can relate to him. He is dark from beginning to end. They were right to title his song hellfire because this villain is truly a tormented soul.
The only part that I laughed at Frollo was when he tiredly rubbed his eyes and said “I had a little trouble with the fireplace” after the insanely dramatic musical number about hellfire
If you really think about it, rather than a “villain”, I believe that like all of us, Frollo fell victim to his sinnings. He makes it clear that he wants god to forgive and have mercy on him. He unlike other Disney villains, Frollo was misunderstood and that ultimately lead to his insanity. It’s fairly normal that humans may do sinful things, so judging Frollo is like judging ourselves.
Frollo will always be the most underrated but scariest disney villain, in the origin stories he actually tries to rape esmarelda and as we see throughout the movie, he wants to. Like we see in the church scenes where he grabs her, sniffs her hair, and shows his sexual violence, unlike other Disney villians, people like frollo *really exist* which is what makes him so scary. Him blaming Esmeralda for his sexual attraction, calling her a siren in the song hellfire, ect, sounds an awful lot like the famous "she was asking for it"
Fun fact- The sequence of the burning of Paris isn’t in the book (as he’s not a judge there). Which means that someone at Disney actually came up with, ‘Let’s make Frollo burn all of Paris just to find Esmeralda! You know, for kids!’
I feel they may have got inspiration from Nero burning down Rome so he could build it in his likeness. It's the destruction and sacrifice of a city just for someone's selfish evil desires.
How many other people noticed that Frollo's appearance slowly got warped as he slipped further into madness due to lust? He started off looking human just stuck up. In the end his face is more angular, skin more ashen, and his eyes orangish red.
I personally think that Frollo is the best Disney antagonist, because, unlike the others who have some kind of magical abilities, he doesn't. He is more of a realistic villain.
The Darkest Disney Villain would have to be Shan Yu from Mulan. Also I'm still waiting for that Video about Shan Yu, jeez does Nobody else want a Video about Shan Yu other than Me?
Shan Yu's dark, yes, but not as dark as a man who's supposed to follow God. He committed the biggest sin by going on the rampage that he did. Pride got in his way, along with Lust and Envy. This makes for a more relatable character overall.
Same... Hah... Then I liked those kinda songs 10 years later. Like Tear the World down by We are the Fallen. That song reminded me of Hellfire. A dramatic choir is epic.
I was 5 or 6 when I first watched the Disney movie. When I got older and went back to face the song that scared me. It's like 'oh, you wanna kill her if she tells you no because you want her.' First you kill a mom, you try to kill a baby and now this -_-
I feel like, in Hellfire, he was praying and talking to Mary, waiting for an answer, of how he could fall in love, with a girl, of an ethnicity he wanted to end up. Also, he is praying to her, asking for her honor, of that day, he almost drowned Quasimodo (as you can see, the Virgin stares at him, carrying Jesus in her arm. In my personal opinion, he is the best Disney villain, I have a lot of empathy on him in a good way, but this is more, from Frollo, of the novel.
I love Frollo. He's my favorite Disney character. He's the embodiment of humanity, and they symbolic struggle of the human race to come to terms with themselves. Deep. Also, I just like the bad guys. They're always just funny, and well done.
Two of the most powerful yet horrible scenes in that movie were those horribly uncomfortable moments when he was smelling her hair, and when those cloaked shadows holding crosses closed in around him.
A great detail is that the first time Frollo brings up witchcraft is when Esmerelda literally disappears in a puff of smoke. When he accuses her of witchcraft later, it's not just because he's lusting for her. He actually saw her perform a magic trick before his eyes. Nobody else in the movie did anything that could be interpreted as magic, apart from the gargoyles which Frollo (probably correctly) believes are in Quasimodo's head until he sees one snarling at him in his final moments.
*sobs* This movie was my childhood. There will NEVER be a Disney movie that tops or is equal to this one, unless they make a live action one. Just thinking about this movie gives a euphoric feeling that cannot be explained in words, because it so powerful.
Can you do Gaston's Full Story next, of course if you have time😀 I really want to know which war he went into because in the Beauty and the Beast Live Action he says to Lefou " After the war I felt like I was missing something" ( They were talking about Belle ) Great Video😀
Frollo is one of the scariest disney villains, because his story and reasoning, and character in general is just so real. He is someone that just so happens to be in a position of power, and uses this against other, believing it is right, and is his right, and uses strongly religious beliefs as an excuse. This is something that could happen in real life, and most likely already has. Because of this, he will forever remain my all time favourite villain in any movie.
The Disney version of Frollo strangely is the most compelling version of him, in my opinion. The metaphor of him committing so many atrocities while believing himself to be holy, only to be brought down by his sexual desire (of all things) just seems so much more powerful. He was willing to condemn people to death for just living a different life, but when he realized that even he was inherently sinful, he didn’t know how to cope.

I think it is also worth mentioning the complexity of the song Hellfire. This is a lot of history steeped in this film. During the song the red and hooded monks are singing words in Latin that are often pulled from the medieval Catholic Masses, and they directly contradict everything Frollo is telling himself. For example, when he says "It's not my fault" the monks sing "Mea culpa", which is translated as "My fault". Here are is the full Latin translation: I confess to God almighty, to the blessed Mary ever virgin, to the blessed archangel Michael, to the holy apostles, to all the saints, that I have sinned. In thought, in word and deed. My fault, my fault, my most grievous fault, Lord have mercy.
It follows the pattern from the beginning of the movie, where the arch Decan shows up as the physical, verbal representation his guilty conscious in the face of accidently killing the mother. One side justifying his act, the other side reminding him that God, the eyes of Notre dame saw what he did and what he needs to do to make up for it.
Of course we know how reluctantly agreed to taking him in, only because he hoped someday quasi would be "of use to him".
That line is part of the Penitential Rite of the catholic mass. It is still said, in part to this day.
I juste learned something today , thanks
During the song a guard showed up saying to Frollo that she’s gone. We don’t see his face because a soft blue light envelopes him perhaps symbolizing that god is giving him one last chance to let go of his obsession and find peace. But Frollo sends him away, rejection redemption and leading him to his death
@Ai7A we don't worship Mary we only pay reverence to her which is basically saying we show respect to her for all she did for Jesus

They also tend to use their faith to as some justification as to why they think they are better then others which is the complete opposite as to what is actually taught in the Bible. Frollo takes all that, mixes it together and makes interesting while being fairly accurate.
@@grimarcher872 which is why there are so many (not all) pedophiles in the church in high ranking positions.
Honestly the ‘Hellfire’ song gives me chills every time. The lyrics, voice, animation, emotion, everything.
I am currently in the musical version of Hunchback of Notre Dame, and in that version of the story, Frollo has a brother named Jehan. The two were orphaned and taken in by the priests at Notre Dame. Frollo trained to be a dedicated priest himself, but Jehan was frustrated by the restrictive environment of the cathedral and began acting out (drinking, going to brothels, etc.) in defiance. Frollo often lied to the priests to keep Jehan out of trouble. One day, Jehan brought a gypsy girl named Florika to the cathedral as a "present" for Frollo's birthday. This was too much for Frollo, who finally betrayed his brother. I don't think he would have done so had he known that Jehan would be banished from Notre Dame. Years later he got a message from Jehan and found him dying from smallpox; Florika having succumbed a few weeks earlier and leaving behind their child. Frollo adopts the baby after Jehan dies, naming him Quasimodo.
Whew that was long. If you're still reading this congrats to you
So techincally Quasimodo is the nephew of Frollo
@@stevenjones4059 question is
Quasimodo is actually blood related to frollo cannon?
@@McHaxercid I would say yes
Shannon M ho jeeze that’s long
Possibly my favorite musical
In my opinion, Frollo is the most powerful Disney villain. He's a definition of the seven deadly sin. He's a threat to a country and refuses to acknowledge his sins.
He doesn’t even have magic powers to be evil and powerful.
@@sirorliktheironclad that's the scary part, he borders on being almost realistic in his madness and lust.
Quasimodo and Frollo's relationship reminds me so much of Rapunzel and Mother Gothel's in Tangled. I wish I'd given this movie a chance before I watched Tangled, but the only time I've actually watched the full one was about two months ago. I loved it, especially the confrontation scene between Quasi and Frollo. Again, reminds me of Rapunzel standing up to Mother Gothel in the last part of the film.
Diamond Rose I once saw a meme of Frollo in sunglasses, that said "I locked a child away in a tower before mother Gothel made it cool." LOL XD
I saw that parallel when I watched Tangled and when Rapunzel called out Mother Gothel's sham excuses for locking her in the tower. It was basically calling her out on "You locked me to protect me from the world when I should have been protected from you!" When Rapunzel said that, i thought "that's awfully familiar" to Quasimodo calling out Frollo that the world is only a dark and evil place because of people like Frollo.
That's what Stockholm Syndrome really is, not what's portrayed in Beauty and the Beast.
Diamond Rose yeah I agree
@Fuglsang yeah I agree interesting similarities between the two
isn't it weird that elsmarada really resembles his mother
Well, they are both gypsy
Ew, is that why he gets so turned on over Esmeralda? Because it reminds him of that time he killed a woman?
in the original novel, esmeralda’s mother had her baby kidnapped by gypsies & replaced with quasimodo.
maybe it was a nod to the novel?
wHaT
It explains why Quasimodo fell in love with her...
Frollo will always be the darkest villain to me alongside Scar and Maleficent
I know that's what I wrote
*Literally says "edited"* You mean that's what you've edited.
What about CHERNABOG???
You are also forgetting about the Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I wouldn’t count Lady Tremaine as a dark villian because she didn’t try to murder Cinderella. A dark villian to me is when they try to kill someone.
TIGER 2354 Zira was darker than Scar
Frollo: *exsits*
Satan: So any way I am a massive fan.
Frollo: Visibly confused. “What do you mean. I am the statue of perfection.
Satan: “Says the guy who tried to kill a deformed baby, sang a song about lust in a freakin kids movie, then killed a bunch innocent people just to remove your sinful temptation for her. So yeah, and just to notify, we already have your room here ready for you when you meet your untimely end. We await your arrival.”
@@ricvaladez2563 That was awesome 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Haha funny 😂😂😂LOL
It also makes sense that Esmeralda chose Phoebus as her love in the end. He was the only one to treat her as an actual human being. Frollo denounced her as a witch/devil and Quasimodo held her up as an angel. Not that Quasimodo wasn’t a good friend as a result but Phoebus saw her as the person she was. I know there’s a more tragic side to the relationship in the book but this was suitable for Disney!
Well, in the original novella he was a total jerk meant to parody the typical Prince Charming trope. No mention on Esmeralda's age and backstory, we'll be giving away too much.
Disney really turned a dark realistic parody into a typical fairytale.
@@evanmak7837no they didn't kid
I prefer book Frollo. It's more interesting to watch a man who started off good slowly descend into evil and wickedness.
I wonder if my school has it in the library...
Probably not, since it's a middle school.
Just look it up online, or here on UA-cam.
Yeah the book version makes you feel invested and sympathetic towards his character with his introduction and then...he just...keeps doing worse and worse things. Had I not known what was going to happen next it would have messed me up way harder.
And all because he couldn't have sex because he was a priest! I've always said celibate priests were a bad idea, it leads to them lusting after children, as Frollo lusted after Esmerelda, who , by the way, was only 16 in the novel!
Find it at a bookstore, it might be cheap because it's a classic. Or you can always download PDF/EPUB.
Frollo is a most impressive villain, especially when he was voiced by the late Tony Jay.
Garth Davis R.I.P. Tony Jay voice of both speaking and singing of Judge Frollo in Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame an amazing and chilling performance singing Hellfire of course Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame the best and dark disney movie in Disney history judge frollo was very evil in the film though Judge Frollo he was very special about remembering tony jay god rest his soul did both speaking and singing of Judge Frollo in Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame an amazing and chilling performance singing Hellfire of course I love Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame about the music and disney animation

In my opinion the top 3 Disney villains are Frollo, Scar and Jafar.
The Inquisitor yes, people do agree
Totally!
The Inquisitor they're my top 3 Disney villains as well, in that exact same order, I like how you think. And yes, humanity agrees
The Inquisitor HERESY!
The Inquisitor Bro, Maleficient trumps Jafar
What brought Claude Frollo to his downfall was that he didn't read Romans 3:23.
"For all have sinned, and have fallen short of the glory of God."
Mr. Catholic Oh,he read it.He just thought it applied to everybody except himself!
True
Geez who does this guy think he is? A demigod?
Would he have read it? Books were scarce in a age before printing and owning your own Bible would've been rare as scripture was revered and wouldn't have been in common hands but remain the property of the church. In the scene Hellfire, assuming the room he is singing in is part of his own private appartments in the palace of justice do you notice any bookshelves in his drawing room? No. Also the Bible in the western church would've been written in Latin and in mass would've been recited in Latin. Frollo being a judge must have been well educated and would've been able to comprehend spoken Latin as well as being able to read and write in Latin but the epistles of Paul are cited in short and often lost as the service continues. I struggle to remember old testament readings and new testament readings and vaguely remember the Gospel reading and always forget the sermon. Frollo is a judge and the downside of being a judge is you have to break the command of Jesus 'judge not lest ye be judged'. If you do that profession for long enough and encounter only criminals your colour of humanity changes and you see people as potential criminals and mix that with religious beliefs, sinners as well. And if your on a podium of arbitration (a position a person of good repute in character and conduct can occupy) you stand above others and that changes your perception of yourself eg. 'I have never had to step down so that means I must exceptionally good and exemplary in my character and conduct'. His religious fanaticism is part to blame for his character flaw but his profession I believe has soured his view of humanity and religion.
He also didn't read the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. The pharisee basked in his perceived self-righteousness and bragged about how he is superior to everyone else because of it, just like Frollo does. The tax collector however, recognized the fact he is a sinner and he asked God to have pity on him in humbleness. At the end of the parable Jesus says "For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Frollo is just like the Pharisee, blinded by pride and a false sense of superiority, who refuses to recognize he is a sinner too.
Frollo:look at that disgusting display

Frollo: Sings "Hell Fire"

Yeah, that's the perfect song for him!

Idk if you picked up on this but the Red Hooded figures are representations of the Catholic Inquisition set in a tribunal. Claude Frollo wasn't as obsessed with the fact that he "felt" sinful, so much as he was obsessed that he would LOOK sinful to others and be punished for it. Frollo was rightfully terrified of the Inquisition considering the torture they frequently inflicted on those deemed sinful. The inclusion of, and primary focus of, the Inquisition in his demented nightmares during the song "Hellfire" shows us that even though Frollo was indeed tormented by "temptation" he was more afraid of what people would think of him if they knew he faced temptation - as is often the case with the self-righteous, their image is more important than their reality.
UniquelySamuel That's an insight into this I'd not heard before, although the red robes did suggest something vaguely like a Inquisition. Thank you for pointing this out!
I thought those were the judges in revelation.
Torture was a rare ocurrance ain fact torture many times where not accepted in a judging ,
Gargoyles were meant to scare demons away. That particular gargoyle scared the living hell out of Frollo.
YES Frollo is my favorite Disney villain. Actually, he might even be my favorite Disney character. Love this video, great job!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!

Frollo is a really interesting villain.
Mine too!!!!!!
What always warms my heart is how much Quasi's mother tried to fight for him, and therefore showed her love for him.
In the original one his mother abandoned him by swapping him with another physically better baby.
I don't understand, why mother of Quasi have dark skin, dark hair and dark eyes, and his father look same, but their son have red hair and blue eyes and light skin??
He exactly their child??Or not??

K'zarriah Owens in the book she was from rich family and gipsies kidnapped her when she was baby also she is white and blonde unlike disney version and dies at the end of the book
K'zarriah Owens by-the-way Esmeralda from the original Victor Hugo novel is 16-years-old
Лука Негадак i mixed up with other book with gypsy and sister drama
K'zarriah Owens the novel was written in 1831 that would have been little more than a footnote back then
Yep, named after Saint Agnes, who also died young!
He is the best fucking Disney villain of all time
Zero 2o1o I would have assumed that Frollo let his position go to his head.
It's sad but people like Frollo actually did exist in real life. And I don't mean recently, but throughout history. Emperor Constantine of Rome is a prime example.
Wicked Animegirl how was Constantine of Rome like Claude frollo
Do you know how many Constantines of Rome there is?
Constantine wasn't A Christian his whole life, He was only baptized as a Christian on his deathbed, But he wasn't like a religious zealot and wasn't lusting after young women or burning people at the stake

Lol Emperor Constantine was nothing like this
I think Frollo also stands out because he has no comedic scenes - no 'minions' that use comic relief that many others do. Not even a pantomimey-type persona. Its more realistic in a way which makes him much more scarey. In my opinion.
I can't tell if I should pity, fear, or look down on him.
Jason Davis all of the heckin above
What Billy says.
You should not “hate” anyone. You should understand it and use it as an example of what not to do.
Jason Davis all
Yes.
Frollo is definitely the darkest villain in Disney, but he's also my favorite 'cause of said darkness. He's clearly not right in the head and yet people don't have a choice but to obey him, except for the priest. Frollo is a tortured soul who was destined for damnation, and I was so happy about the method they chose to kill him 'cause it fit so well. The Lord did indeed smite the wicked and Frollo symbolically fell into the depths of hell where he belongs.
Yes yes yes indeed

It would just be The Inquisition, seeing as this story is set in Paris and the Inquisition started in 12th century France.
Who else thought of the bird
Joelle Hale I didn’t expect them
I like how the Archdeacon is a symbol of a righteous clergyman and Frollo is an example of a deceptive and hypocritical one. Kinda of like what's going on in the Catholic Church with the abuse scandals. Not all the priests are bad
That what was made the movie great. It showed that religion can be used for both good and evil. It isn’t inherently good or evil. What people use religion for can be good or evil.
@@speedracer2008 so so so true I don't believe in God but I do not judge those who do or anything like frollo does
I have been to pairs in real life myself for my graduation ceremony with my mother and I saw just how much people believe in God there and the beauty of Notre Dame myself and it's just as gorgeous as it is in the movie

*I love Frollo* 💜 He's the best Disney villain. And The Hunchback is one of the most unjustly underrated Disney movies ever, and my all time favorite. It's weird how as a kid, I didn't see Frollo like I see him now... I just knew that he was the villain, that's all, I couldn't understand nor even see his true intentions. But now that I'm an adult and I do, I love how psychopathic, cruel, insane, sadistic, lustful and just plain evil he is. *The best* . And I have to say, I far prefer Disney's version of Frollo over Hugo's.
Iris Vampiress same
Actually, he isn't psychopathic. A psychopath doesn't take guilt for his actions, Frollo in the other hand knew what he was doing was wrong, only that he refused to acknowledge that he was a sinner. So, no he is not a psychopath, only an insane, xenophobic, sadistic, racist, zealot person.
Same! Lmao I still ship him with Esmeralda
it's underrated due to tonal failiures with random parts even in the final moments of the film being molested by cartoonish sound effects and comical scenes in a moment that is meant to be dark.
Iris Vampiress let's make a baby
Man, old disney movies were pretty dark in the 90's, that's why I love them

Frollo is different from other Disney villains. He doesn't need magic or weapons to get what he wants, he only has to use his temper and power to control the masses. Everyone is scared of him or mad at him but they can't do anything otherwise they'll be accused of sin and punished. Its messed up but honestly glorious to see.

He’s my favourite Disney villain of all time. Hellfire was the best villlain or Disney song I’ve ever heard of all time!
When I was little I thought the song Hellfire was just some guy planning to kill Esmeralda and I got scarred. Now that I'm older I just find the song creepy and gross.

Guys he’s just horny, he is down baaad😂
@@sheevphotography5036 The gargoyl:"Bonk, go to horny jail"
In the resent musical by Disney of this Movie a bit more was given to Frollo's reasoning. The root for his hate of the Gypsy's in the show wasn't driven by religion alone. As a student his brother and only remaining family gave into lustful desires for a gypsy woman and it led to the brothers being forced apart and after years Frollo only saw his brother again on the death bed. Granted in the play Quasi is his nephew threw the brother and the gyspy woman and the movie gives another way he ended up with him. none the less part of this still could have happend in some form. he sees Gypsys as the ones that took his remaining family away and indirectly responsible for his death. therefore hes driven by vengeance as well as fear feeling those desires that in his eyes destroyed his brothers life and soul.
NewWindwolf14 that's less that the musical gave a bit more backstory and more that the musical included more of what was in the actual book.
that musical was so cringy even if it did give him a reason for hating gypsies... ffs couldn't they have just had him pretend to hate their whole race when he was just projecting his anger over esmeralda??
That musical was so good. The fire thing they did onstage and the smoke and the way they actually showed some of Quasimodo's deafness...incredible.
"-Sexually agressive-"

Talk about blatant genocide metaphor.
I thought that too.
"STOP!" cries the arch deacon. And everyone else in the audience.
Claude Frollo is my favorite villain of all time. He isn't a dark lord, he isn't a wizard. He doesn't relish in being evil, he doesn't love being bad. He has no master plan or ingenious inventions or dragons. He doesn't want some higher power or eternal life. Frollo is a regular person. He is twisted by his pride; he knows he is sinful and wrong, but his pride blinds him. It is this pride that he clings to, to hide from his failings. He both knows he is wrong, yet believes, honestly to his core, that he is just and right.
His death brings us no joy, we don't celebrate his demise. This is because we aren't made to hate him, but to understand him. He is no super evil genius bent on destroying the world, no vengeful bad guy. Frollo is a normal human being. He is just a man blinded by vice. And we very well could become just like him.

I'd like to see a psychological profile on Frollo....I bet he'd be a narcissist and/or a sociopath.....
Easily the best villain of the Disney Renaissance and one of the best parts of the gothic masterpiece that is The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I'm scared of Frollo because of his characteristic (stalking much, sexual harassments toward woman, a murder of Gypsies, he has lust bullies people because of their differences etc). Which is why he's probably the terrifying Disney villain which made him too realistic
The Disney version of Frollo is notoriously different from his book counterpart and far more evil.
Excellent retelling of Frollo's story, he's one of my favorite Disney villains. Not to mention one of the darkest Disney has produced.
Out of curiosity, are you familiar with The Secret of Kells or Song of the Sea? I'd recommend you both.
As it’s already been said, he’s the scariest because he’s the most realistic. You can find different variations of his kind throughout history and even to this day.
That's a great full story. Wait till you see the musical version of the film; Frollo's story is much more darker. ✨
They played this in choir and I was like, "Ah yeah...what a nice song about repressed sexual desires." And everyone looked at me and I was like " 'tis true"
Frollo is brilliant because he's so realistic. The parallels you see between him and many religious figures of the past and present is uncanny who hide behind religion to justify their actions.
I think frollo knew what he was doing
I think he knew it was wrong what he was doing, but refused to acknowledge that he was a sinner
@LagiNaLangAko23 he'd go even more crazy. Hard to imagine but I'm sure he would.
@LagiNaLangAko23 good point lol as long as he's alive Paris is in trouble anyway you cut it
The genocide part reminds me of ww2 tho
Years before he was (still is) my favorite villain. But lately, after reading the book Notre Dame, I feel bad for him. Brought up in a loveless family, a brilliant mind,studied all sciences at a very young age, adopted baby Quasimodo when everyone wanted to kill him, cared for his brother, utterly devoted to the church... His only mistake was falling in love with Esmeralda. In a moment of reflection he thinks how would he be if he was a normal man, having a normal life and relations with the others.😢
At least they didn't make jokes about him and little boys.
Esmeralda was far younger than Frollo, so the joke still stands.
Fun fact: he named his horse snowball
wasn't his horse black???
@@kianghorbanpor9988 thats...
The joke
I think the darkest DISNEY villain is indeed Claude Frollo simply because he embodies what make people evil in the real world. He is self righteous, murderous, lust driven, corrupt, cruel, manipulative, xenophobic, abusive, heartless, destructive, deceitful, etc. Usually you can find something comical about a Disney villain or can find someway to sympathize or even relate to them but, that's not the case for Frollo in Disney. There isn't one scene he makes you laugh, there isn't one scene you feel sorry for him, there isn't one moment you can relate to him. He is dark from beginning to end. They were right to title his song hellfire because this villain is truly a tormented soul.
I can relate to Frollo and the disturbing part is that it doesn't scare me as much as it probably should.
The only part that I laughed at Frollo was when he tiredly rubbed his eyes and said “I had a little trouble with the fireplace” after the insanely dramatic musical number about hellfire
He's not the most realistic though.
I kind of feel bad for Frollo. He really thinks he's doing good. But in reality he's doing evil and he's really crazy.
I agree
Blinded by the Devil himself
That's because Frollo is an egotistical narcissist.
@@MovieEnforcer how can he be narcissistic, he s ugly

Wotso Videos Let me know if you want to tackle the film Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron, like how his mother, Esperanza meets his father Strider.
If you really think about it, rather than a “villain”, I believe that like all of us, Frollo fell victim to his sinnings. He makes it clear that he wants god to forgive and have mercy on him. He unlike other Disney villains, Frollo was misunderstood and that ultimately lead to his insanity. It’s fairly normal that humans may do sinful things, so judging Frollo is like judging ourselves.
I agree
Frollo will always be the most underrated but scariest disney villain, in the origin stories he actually tries to rape esmarelda and as we see throughout the movie, he wants to. Like we see in the church scenes where he grabs her, sniffs her hair, and shows his sexual violence, unlike other Disney villians, people like frollo *really exist* which is what makes him so scary. Him blaming Esmeralda for his sexual attraction, calling her a siren in the song hellfire, ect, sounds an awful lot like the famous "she was asking for it"

Ha, pay-up...
Fun fact- The sequence of the burning of Paris isn’t in the book (as he’s not a judge there). Which means that someone at Disney actually came up with, ‘Let’s make Frollo burn all of Paris just to find Esmeralda! You know, for kids!’
I feel they may have got inspiration from Nero burning down Rome so he could build it in his likeness. It's the destruction and sacrifice of a city just for someone's selfish evil desires.
@@s3v3n3 Cool.
How many other people noticed that Frollo's appearance slowly got warped as he slipped further into madness due to lust? He started off looking human just stuck up. In the end his face is more angular, skin more ashen, and his eyes orangish red.
I personally think that Frollo is the best Disney antagonist, because, unlike the others who have some kind of magical abilities, he doesn't. He is more of a realistic villain.
Every villain is the hero of their own story
The Darkest Disney Villain would have to be Shan Yu from Mulan. Also I'm still waiting for that Video about Shan Yu, jeez does Nobody else want a Video about Shan Yu other than Me?
Shan Yu's dark, yes, but not as dark as a man who's supposed to follow God. He committed the biggest sin by going on the rampage that he did. Pride got in his way, along with Lust and Envy. This makes for a more relatable character overall.

Frollo's villian song Hellfire actually gave me nightmares as a kid.
You were kid when you watched that song?!
Same... Hah... Then I liked those kinda songs 10 years later. Like Tear the World down by We are the Fallen. That song reminded me of Hellfire. A dramatic choir is epic.
I was 5 or 6 when I first watched the Disney movie. When I got older and went back to face the song that scared me. It's like 'oh, you wanna kill her if she tells you no because you want her.' First you kill a mom, you try to kill a baby and now this -_-
I feel like, in Hellfire, he was praying and talking to Mary, waiting for an answer, of how he could fall in love, with a girl, of an ethnicity he wanted to end up. Also, he is praying to her, asking for her honor, of that day, he almost drowned Quasimodo (as you can see, the Virgin stares at him, carrying Jesus in her arm. In my personal opinion, he is the best Disney villain, I have a lot of empathy on him in a good way, but this is more, from Frollo, of the novel.

I love Frollo. He's my favorite Disney character. He's the embodiment of humanity, and they symbolic struggle of the human race to come to terms with themselves. Deep.
Also, I just like the bad guys. They're always just funny, and well done.
Me too!!!
Two of the most powerful yet horrible scenes in that movie were those horribly uncomfortable moments when he was smelling her hair, and when those cloaked shadows holding crosses closed in around him.
"You're not you when you're thirsty."
Lol
A great detail is that the first time Frollo brings up witchcraft is when Esmerelda literally disappears in a puff of smoke. When he accuses her of witchcraft later, it's not just because he's lusting for her. He actually saw her perform a magic trick before his eyes. Nobody else in the movie did anything that could be interpreted as magic, apart from the gargoyles which Frollo (probably correctly) believes are in Quasimodo's head until he sees one snarling at him in his final moments.
*sobs*
This movie was my childhood. There will NEVER be a Disney movie that tops or is equal to this one, unless they make a live action one. Just thinking about this movie gives a euphoric feeling that cannot be explained in words, because it so powerful.
Can you do Gaston's Full Story next, of course if you have time😀
I really want to know which war he went into because in the Beauty and the Beast Live Action he says to Lefou " After the war I felt like I was missing something" ( They were talking about Belle ) Great Video😀
Me Too!😀
Pinklover175 yeah because in the latest beauty in the beast it was from France I just learned and I'm just wondering
Kylah Flowers I am just wondering which war but both movies where set in France
I do want to do him! Gaston and Sarabi are the ones I am planning on doing when I do my next full stories. Thanks for watching!
Pinklover175 leFou turns out bi in the life action remake. Yay
Frollo is one of the scariest disney villains, because his story and reasoning, and character in general is just so real. He is someone that just so happens to be in a position of power, and uses this against other, believing it is right, and is his right, and uses strongly religious beliefs as an excuse. This is something that could happen in real life, and most likely already has. Because of this, he will forever remain my all time favourite villain in any movie.
Frollo scared me into going to church when I was little. I'm still scared of him.
The Disney version of Frollo strangely is the most compelling version of him, in my opinion.
The metaphor of him committing so many atrocities while believing himself to be holy, only to be brought down by his sexual desire (of all things) just seems so much more powerful.
He was willing to condemn people to death for just living a different life, but when he realized that even he was inherently sinful, he didn’t know how to cope.
Rule in life: Don't be a Frollo
