FIRST TIME REACTION TO **THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME** (IT'S SO FUN) 

Comment below your thoughts on the movie I love discussing the movies I watch with my viewers let me know your thoughts and any interesting facts about the movie.

I feel like Frollo is the most frightening Disney villain, because he's the most realistic when it comes to real world evil.

"I can't imagine how dark the book is" SIS DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOU

You know what makes Frollo a terrifying villain? People like him exist in the real world. He isn't some sorcerer or witch bent on world domination using magic, he's an ordinary person with too much power and influence for his own good.

Quasi giving his blessing to Esme and Phoebus and putting himself permanently in the friendzone is so mature of him, especially when you consider the motivations between the three guys after her. Frollo lusted after her and instead of handling his feelings, wanted to kill her bc of it. Quasi put her on a pedestal and practically kissed her feet, which is also an unhealthy way to view someone and their relationship would never be equal. Phoebus admired her strength and defiance in the face on injustice, and that was the basis of their relationship, fighting the machine together. So from a hardcore Quasi fan, Phoebus was the best choice, really.

Watching this as a kid vs. watching it as an adult was 2 completely different experiences. Thanks for the video.

So, Frolo is not a priest, he is a judge. And the simple priest of the cathedral, could do nothing against Frolos order outside of the cathedral.

This was 1400s France, 16 was above the age of consent, and even then, movie Esmeralda is portrayed as being in her 20s.

as someone whose favorite movie _is_ the hunchback of notre dame....you have every right to skip "a guy like you"

This movie has one of the best lines that sums up the theme and feeling of the entire film “what makes a monster and what makes a man?”

I looked up translated lyrics for Hellfire, and the chanting is actually a prayer of confession. It’s a kind of irony where Frollo is saying that he isn’t the sinful one, and it’s all the gypsy’s fault, the monks are confessing that they have sinned, and are asking God to show his mercy. While Frollo’s saying “It’s not my fault!” The chanting is saying “by my fault.”

Remember, most kids (even Catholic kids) wouldn't recognize the Latin versions of those prayers. Alan Menken had to have known this, yet he still went the extra mile and added those layers anyways because he must have figured that at least the adults who grew up Catholic (most would have grown up with the Latin Mass) would pick up on it. He didn't have to go this hard on the lyrics, but he did it anyways because if we couldn't appreciate it as kids, we sure as heck can appreciate it as adults.

If I remember correctly, in the book, Quasi and Esmeralda were the same age, because they were swapped as babies. Quasi was born to a gypsy family who didn't want him because he was deformed, so they stole a beautiful baby out of her crib and replaced it with Quasi. The kidnapped baby was Esmeralda. Edit: Yep, just checked. That's what happened.

There was actually one part where Frollo could’ve saved himself. After the song a guard opens the door and tells Frollo of Esmeralda’s disappearance. You can see the guard shrouded in a bright light, Frollo did have a chance to let go of her but instead turned back to the fireplace continued lusting over her.

In regard to Esmeralda's age: Middle Ages, different rules. Ariel was also 16.

The lyrics are from a famous Latin poem about the Judgement day, used often Christian liturgical music

OMG someone is finally reacting to Hunchback! It's my favorite of the old disney. I'm not a fan of the gargoyles. I think they threw off the tone and weren't that funny but at the same time, I get that the filmmakers were trying to figure something out to lighten it up for the kid audience. But overall, the music, the colors, the voice acting of Tom Hulce, all the way to Disney actually having the guts to make the main villain song a PRAYER about his lust for Esmeralda, this movie makes me so happy. THANK YOU for choosing to react to it.

This movie was dark but held important messages for us kids that grew up in the 1990's.

Fun fact. Disney villains had mostly green eyes. Why? Old believes, green eyes are from the devil and many green and red haired people where hunted down, tortured and killed. Esmeralda is the first heroine with green eyes, fitting in the timeline in history, where gypsies where seen as devils, hunted, tortured and killed. Her green eyes is the most unique thing on her, just as red hair that is unique for Ariel.

It's not really about him being a good singer in "out there", it's about the emotion. Can't get enough of it

Personally, I like the idea of the Cathedral itself being alive in the movie. Not only does it add an explanation for why the gargoyle head came alive as Frollo was falling to his death, it also adds an additional contrast between him and Quasimodo. Quasi, a friendly and humble young man who does what's best for those around him, is beloved by the holy sanctuary and is treated as a friend. Meanwhile, Frollo, a wicked man who abuses his position and falls to multiple sins (mainly pride and lust), is despised by it and is eliminated by its hand. I do agree, though, Hugo and Victor (the tall and short gargoyles) were incredible annoying. I found Laverne to be more enjoyable, since at least that one had good lines and a mentor-like role rather than being pure (and very botched) comic relief. Also, you did NOT miss anything with the gargoyle song.

Esmeralda's 16 in the book. She's been aged up to early 20's in the movie, which isn't by much, and does not make Frollo's behaviour any less creepy. Because yikes.

When Frollo told Esmeralda "Choose me, or the fire", something she could've done was pretend to take Frollo's offer, and then kill him in his sleep.

"I'm gonna skip the Gargoyles' song. I'm sure someone's gonna be upset-" Oh trust me, Lexi, no one's upset; in my experience, most people agree that that song sucks XD

The 'lava' is probably boiling oil. The oil might have been lit on fire, or the glow could be a stylistic choice.

14:14 The other way around, actually. In the book she's 16. In the Disney movie, she's in her twenties to help make it a little less creepy.

•It's a Catholic Choir. •It's based on a very dark source and this is by far one of Disney's darkest films. •It's Latin and it says, "Day of wrath, that day shall consume the world in ashes as prophesied by David and the Sybil. What trembling is to be when the Judge is come..." •Yes, she's dead. •You cannot hide your actions from God or from the Saints and Apostles. •That's one of the ongoing questions. •Easter eggs. •Partially. The technology was new at the time. •Keep in mind that the setting in 15th Century France. They're really into public spectacles and Catholics are a very superstitious lot. Also life expectancy was a lot shorter in the 15th Century than here in the 21st Century, so it was allowed to marry young, especially for girls. •And with that, Frollo became one of Disney's darkest villains. •The Archdeacon was referring to God. •The chorus of God Help the Outcasts was one of my favorite scenes musically growing up. •The chant in-between Heaven's Light and Hellfire is called the Confiteor. It reads, "I confess to God Almighty, to Blessed Mary ever Virgin, to the blessed Archangel Michael, to the Holy Apostles, to all the Saints." •Hellfire is by far the darkest Disney villain song, which is why it's a favorite to many. •It's again Latin, meaning "Through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault." •So Frollo, unlike many Disney villains what are just evil for the fun or sake of it, believes himself to be good. That all of his actions, no matter how wicked or unjustifiable, serve his idea of God's will. In contrast, you see his conflict with the Archdeacon to show the difference between those who claim to be men of God and actual Men of the Cloth. •Frollo is among the Top 10 Disney Villains for sure. •No, feel free to skip. The Gargoyles get mixed reactions anyway and their song is the "worst" in the film, especially when you have Bells of Notre Dame, Out There, God Help the Outcasts, and Hellfire to consider. •Quasimodo-Patron Saint of the Friend Zone. •The "we're only made out of stone. We just thought you were made of something stronger" line is the saving grace of the gargoyles. •No, that is molten copper. Medieval churches had some defenses set up in the event of a siege. •That was a dagger. What Frollo then pulled out was a sword. •Frollo died as he proclaimed; "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit."

“I am skipping a guy like you” Lindsey ellis: well, there goes my “I’m losing to a bird joke.”

I think the point was to show the imperfect-ness in every aspect. His voice wasn't great yet you could feel him. He conveyed feelings very well.

Can I say that frollo's villain song is one of my favorites because they make him so real and they show what can happen to people who depend too much on religion (and not the actual morals or teaching) and would rather put all the blame on others than to take a look at themselves and admit that something is wrong with them and might need help.... And they use religion as a crutch and scapegoat for any wrongdoing. They really show the torment that he's going through and how messed up he is mentally. And how he is Soo overcome with list that he completely backpedals from his first stance of wanting to have nothing to do with her except for her being arrested to straight up saying chose me or die. I love complex villians

Tom Hulce does the voice for Quasimodo in this movie. He is a legendary broadway actor who played Mozart back in the 80s in the movie Amadeus. The guy is amazingly underrated!

Also, lowkey, Frolo isn't wrong when he tells Quasi that he's deformed and that the world has little pity, ESPECIALLY back then. Yes, he is obviously beating him down, just being cruel and is a 100% gaslighting abuser, but in this one thing, he's not wrong, unfortunately ☹

I love the revival era of Disney (the current era), but the renaissance era was wild. Pocahontas, Mulan, Hunchback, etc. was just dark enough and had gorgeous music and memorable stories.

Fun fact: the festival where they treated Quasimodo as a king is a real thing, it's called the festival of fools and it's basically opposite day. They take one unassuming or unlocked bum and treat him like a king or pope for the day and parody church rituals.

It's weird: the book's even darker than the film, but Frollo is a bit less evil in the book (he's still evil, but more of a tragic villain than the genocidal monster he is in the film).

Esmeralda is 16 in the book but in the disney movie she is much older than that (like in her 20s)

Your reaction to Quasi's torture in the Festival of Fools was interesting because as a kid, when I watched this I walked out of the room to cry during that scene because I could not, for the life of me, understand how people could be so cruel to someone. It wasn't until I was older that I could sit through the scene without walking out or covering my eyes or ears because kid me just could not stand watching Quasi treated that way.

I was introduced to this movie when I was 3, and I thought Quasi was the cutest Disney boy lol

About Esmeralda's song. You said it reminded you of Prince of Egypt. Well, fun fact: Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for Prince of Egypt, wrote the lyrics for Hunchback, together with the legendary Disney composer Alan Menken. :)

The whole movie is meant to be Heaven vs Hell. So the language you heard was Latin, which is Holy. And when Frolo died, he was "literally" being dragged down to Hell. Its my favorite disney movie.

If you think this movie is dark, you ought to read the book. It's absolutely insane! I love this movie though. It's seriously one of my favorite Disney films!

Quasi is straight up hardcore parkour status lmao

So glad that you could find Frollo being both creepy but awesome at the same time! I kinda think so about him too! :D

When she said "I can't imagine how dark the book is" I Lol'd

I'm so glad you noticed the crowd! It may not have aged well but it was quite revolutionary at the time, because crowds were so hard and expensive to make by hand. Awesome content 👍

My absolute favorite Disney movie of all times. I love how dark it is. Disney took such risks. I think they included those annoying gargoyles to lighten the mood, because it’s supposed to be a kids movie. And I still think they only exist in Quasimodo‘s mind because he’s so lonely.

Another thing that i like with this disney is a sentence that you understand only at the very end. At the beggining the man said " who is the monster and who is the man ? ". When you are young you think of it as a " physical " question. Quasi is the monster physically and frollo is a man. But at the end of the movie , the sentence has changed. " What makes a monster and what makes a man ? " Frollo was the real monster. While quasi was a man. Really nice way to tell you things sneakily. Nicely done movie ❤

I'll give you the translation of the latin that the choir is singing in the background as much as I can Bells of Notre Dame (the prologue song at the beginning): Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day) Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes) Teste David cum sibylla (As prophesied by David and the sibyl) Quantus tremor est futurus (What trembling is to be) Quando Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come) Humiliation (during the scene where Quasimodo is being attacked in the market): Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) Qui tollis peccata mundi (Who takes away the sins of the world) Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) Dona nobis pacem (Grant us peace) Hellfire (the song in contrast to Quasimodo's Heaven's Light...just a side note, I love the contrast between the two throughout their songs they do): Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti (I confess to God almighty) Beatae Mariae semper Virgini (To blessed Mary ever Virgin) Beato Michaeli archangelo (To the blessed archangel Michael) Sanctis apostolis omnibus sanctis (To the holy apostles, to all the saints) Et tibit Pater (And to you, Father) Quia peccavi nimis (That I have sinned) Cogitatione (In thought) Verbo et opere (In word and deed) Mea culpa (Through my fault) Mea maxima culpa (Through my most griveous fault) Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) Sanctuary (as Frollo is trying to burn Esmerelda and Quasimodo saves her): Judex crederis esse venturus (Our Judge we believe shall come) In te, Domine, speravi (In You, Lord, have I trusted) Non confundar in aeternum (Let me not be damned for eternity) Salvum fac populum tuum (Save Your people) Judex crederis (In our Judge we believe) Libera me Domine (Free me, Lord) Libera me Domine de morte aeterna (Free me, Lord, from everlasting death) In die illa tremenda (On that terrible day) Quando caeli movendi sunt (When the heavens shall be moved) Caeli et terra (The heavens and earth) Dum veneris judicare (When Though shall come to judge the world) O, salutaris hostia (Oh Saviour, saving victim) Quae caeli pandis ostium (Who opens the gate of heaven) Bella premunt hostilia (Our enemies besiege us) Da robur, fer auxilium (Give us strength, bring us aid) Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised) Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised) Sit sempiterna gloria (May you always be praised) Gloria, gloria semper (Glory, glory forever) Sanctus, sanctus in excelsis (Holy, holy, in the highest) Mors stupebit et natura (Death and nature shall be confounded) Cum resurget creatura (When creation shall rise again) Judicanti responsurra (To answer for judgment) Judex ergo cum sedebit (Therefore, when the Judge will take his seat) Nil inultum remanebit (Nothing shall remain unpunished) Quem patronum rogaturus (To what protector shall I appeal) Cum vix justus sit securus? (When scarcely the just man shall be secure?) Juste Judex ultionis (Righteous Judge of vengeance) Ante diem rationis (Before the day of reckogning) Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy) And He Shall Smite the Wicked (that scene with Frollo trying to attack them in the Cathedral when he snuck in and then eventually...and quite ironically being smited instead): Dies irae, dies illa (Day of wrath, that day) Solvet saeclum in favilla (Shall consume the world in ashes) Quando Judex est venturus (When the Judge is come) Confutatis maledictis (When the damned shall be cast down) Flammis acribus addictis (Into the searing flames) Voca me cum benedictis (Call me with the blessed) Confutatis maledictis (When the damned shall be cast down) Gere curam mei finis (Help me in my final hour)

Hunchback of Notre Dame is considered to be the darkest Disney movie.

I don’t know if someone has said this already, but in the live stage musical version (check out Hunchback from La Jolla Playhouse on RU-vid), the gargoyles’ dialogue are his imagination. Because Quasimodo lives in the bell tower, he’s gone mostly deaf, so his speaking voice is what you would hear from a hard of hearing person, but when he sings, it’s pure and strong because it’s from his good heart that doesn’t get destroyed from his surroundings. (And his singing voice in the live musical is FANTASTIC!)

So from what I remember reading. The majority of the animators admitted that the interpretation of the gargoyles are all in Quasimodos head. The extra moments, like them helping fight, is Quasimodo ideas of how to help the situation against the invasion and the insulting the gargoyles do with each other and as well as the advice they give each other are most likely Quasimodos thoughts and actions that constantly go through his head. As someone with mental issues and who was bullied mercilessly for years, I was able to follow the idea that Quasimodo has imaginary friends pretty well.

Watch the Musical for this now, which is apparently available on RU-vid. It's closer to the book and much much darker. (Also helps give more thought and detail to the statue characters).

“This crowd is bipolar” True words..

This was the first movie I ever watched in theater. I was 3 and my parents were freaked out when they saw how dark it was but I loved it 😂

Yeah, this is the dude that Gothel looks at and goes "oh, that guy... yeah, he's a piece of work"

"He's more ruthless than mother gothel" Me: oh, she has no idea, does she?

God help the outcasts is one of my favourite Disney songs, particularly that shot at the end with Esmeralda and the sunlight shining through the stain glass at "I thought we all were the children of God" Also love hellfire. Frollo is such a scary but realistic Disney Villain c

20:58 As the great Pratchett once said, "The innocent have plenty to fear, especially from people who say things like 'the innocent have nothing to fear'."

My computer broke and i have had filming issues with two of the videos i filmed and planned on editing which is why i haven't posted in a hot minute. I have bought a new laptop and am hoping to fix the filming issues so i am hoping to have a new video soon.

Ok everyone has weighed in on Esmeralda's age here, I get it. Lot of people saying 16 was fine in 1444 (when the film is set), lot of people saying she is meant to look and be older in the Disney film. That's all fine, but. She's 20? Because it is based on the book, and in the book she and Quasimodo were essentially switched at birth. I am not gonna go into thatwhole other can of worms but yea. They are the same age, with only a few months difference. So even if they weren't switched at birth in the movie, we can assume the ages remain constant, and we know definitively that Quasi is 20 and the prologue happened 20 years prior. She's 20, guys. Also, yes, EVERYONE hates the gargoyles. Yes, they are meant to straddle the line between imaginary and reality, showing us how isolated Quasi has been, but they were just terrible and annoying. The German adaptation and the more recent Broadway-hopeful adaptation both make it more clear they are imaginary or cut them altogether, I think. Also also, I am personally offended by you not mention Paul Kandel's absolutely wild vocals as Clopin Trouillefou, the storyteller-narrator character, because that last note in the Bells of Notre Dame is- it's heart-stopping. What even- how did he- the PIPES on that man! I have a lot of Opinions about the character on the whole so that's just me. Also also also. They're chanting in Latin. It's a Catholic church. All the Latin chanting are real hymns and such, and they all have meanings that tie into the scene. It's very cool.

I like how you question how Quasimodo is so strong when he literally rings church bells for a living😂

"Aww, I like his voice." :) Me too, girlfriend!!!! It's so sweet, soft and kind

Someone kinda touched this, but those gargoyles only exist in Quasimodo's mind. (Don't ask me how Victor hurt a guard by dropping a brick on his head. It could possibly mean that it was actually Quasimodo who injured him.) So giving the gargoyles different personalities was Quasimodo's method to deal with his loneliness since the only person he interacts with is Frollo, and Frollo is gone for a good portion of the day. Hence, also why Frollo couldn't see the gargoyles move or talk. It also explains the bad advice about Esmeralda. Quasimodo was trying to give himself hope that Esmeralda may actually have feelings for him. So their advice was Quasi's self-advice. P.S. Disney confirmed that the gargoyles all represent portions of Quasi's personality.

That's the first question I asked-Why is the Arch Deacon making Frollo raise the baby? I wouldn't let him less than a mile from any child!

If you are interested the line "were only made of stone, we just thought that you were made of something stronger" was turned into a song for the live adaptation, the song was called made of stone, it would probably make a good reaction video 😁

During the Frollo song, when the Monks say that chant, "Mea culpa" it means, "Through my fault." I don't quite know what they were singing at the beginning of the song, but I'm pretty sure they are honoring St. Michael and the Blessed Virgin Mary. (I'm Catholic and my brother's a priest and he told me this because we're both fans of this movie, haha)

The lines at the beginning are from the medieval song Dies irae, and they’re in Latin.

The archdeacon is voiced by David Ogden Stiers, the same man who voiced Cogsworth in Beauty & the Beast. Also, after the Notre Dame fire, there was a drawing that went around of Quasimodo hugging Norte Dame. Did NOT need to see that drawing; I was fine until that moment.

Holy shit ! That was Belle this is my fav Disney movie and I never caught that lol

GUUURL YOU SAID NOTRE “DAMN” 😭🤣 I rewatched a bunch of older Disney movies throughout quarantine, and my favorite scene is 1000000% Esmeralda’s solo in the church. Which was yours?

The book is extremely dark and even sadder. It was by Victor Hugo, who also wrote Les Miserables. There’s only two good characters in the book, and here we got many

The beauty of gold help the outcast is that the congregation is asking for fame, fortune and such while Esmeralda (even though she has little) ask for help for others...

Her: “burn the city to the ground? You’re over dramatic.” Frollo: “no im not” *Literally burns the city moments later* God Frollo is so realistic and the most evil Disney villain I’ve ever seen.

I was actually NOT scared of “Hellfire” when I was little. When I listened to it, I was focusing my attention on the spirit and how did the spirit magically appear in the fireplace. I remember pretending to be the spirit by dancing around my playroom with my giant blanket, just to have fun with the song.

R.I.P. Tony Jay (1933-2006) Voice of Judge Frollo from Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame an amazing and chilling performance singing Hellfire Judge Frollo He's Evil One of the best and most Darkest Disney Villains ever Judge Frollo He's really special and Tony Jay's voice was a part of it. ❤🖤💜🔥😢😭😢😢😢😭😢😢😭😭😢😢😭😭😭😢😢

Please react to: " FERNGULLY"if you want pixies and saving nature. Its an old animated movie but its beautiful

Theory : frollo and mother gothel made a pact in highschool to lower the kids they kidnapped or kept to mentally torture's self esteem

"Snow White looked older." 💀 Snow White was actually 14 years old in the Disney version

The last thing I write, the way in which Frollo died is very allegorical, but the metaphor, although ironic, is very poetic and I love it

"Notre Damn" 😂😂 now that's a clickable title lol

Girl made the right decision skipping the gargoyle song we all do it

If you liked this, listen to the off-Broadway version! I would argue that it's better in every way, but Michael Arden and Patrick Page absolutely CRUSH it in their performances as Quasimodo and Frollo

🎵Who is the monster and who is the man?🎵 I saw this movie as a kid and sang along every song including Hellfire lmao like I did w all other Disney movies, just having the time of my life. When I saw this again as an adult though, boy was it a whole ‘nother experience. And I still enjoy singing along to every song especially now that I understood what they (and the movie as a whole) meant.

It was molten lead used to repair and reseal the roof slates. Why there was so much of it the cathedral's front facade arches turned into fountains of molten metal for several minutes, which would require about thirty or forty times the amount needed to do the entire cathedral roof, I don't know. Why it was inside the main facade and not anywhere they could, you know, pour it onto the roof before it cooled, I don't know. How it all fit in that one big crucible, when such a large amount would fill that crucible a dozen or so times over, I don't know. Why it was all left burning and molten and ready to pour without any workers actually working the roof, I don't know. Why none of the soldiers bothered to try using the two other main doors to either side of the cathedral, on the ends of the 'arms' of the cross it forms, I don't know. But it is damned cool as a visual, so I'll forgive it.

You said it reminded you of a Broadway musical; it is made into a musical (one of my favs) but somehow it didn't make it to b-way. Would 100% recommend listening to it (there is also a recorded version on youtube)

Low-key disappointed we didn't get to see your reaction to the "Court of Miracles" song XD

*God*: You’ve got this one, right? *Satan*: Yeah, I got this (Kills Frollo, then turns to God). We still up for bowling on Thursday? *God*: You know it.

"It's nothing like the book but who gives a shit. This movie's fucking awesome." - Nostalgia Critic, 2020

Quasimodo was my first tv crush and this hurt my feelings. I knew he liked her but I was okay with her because she was cool and nice to him. But I felt so hurt for him.

It's one of the 2 darkest disney movies the other one being the black cauldron, it's also the only film of disney where the villain's motive is not greed or revenge but lust(btw I believe he was not only a judge but a preist). It touched on serious issues...but it was a very good film

She’s definitely not a child in cartoon, she looks and acts like the oldest of all Disney princesses, my guess she’s 23

Even creepier, in the opening, watch the statue of the Virgin Mary. Watch her eyes in the storm. No spoilers, since this is your first time watching, but I had it pointed out to me years later, when I got this movie in DVD (it meant I could rewind and watch frame-by-frame without destroying the tape with all the pause-back-forward nonsense. Best film I've ever found in a $5 bargain bin.

I am glad you enjoyed Hunchback. One of my favorite Disney movies for sure.

I highly suggest listening to the official recording of Michael Arden singing Out There in the Hunchback musical!! It's so beautiful and absolutely ruined the original for me

This movie has actually been adapted into a musical. Unfortunately it hasn't made it to Broadway for some reason, but it's so beautiful. It took a lot more of the darker subjects from the original Victor Hugo novel and the gargoyles are very much toned down and not in the show much. So they're not annoying👍27:10 that great line was build into an amazing song(Made of stone) one of my favorite songs in the show👏

Quasimodo using vibrato in “Out there” that’s why his voice is “shaky.”

Please react to The Prince of Egypth, I'm sure you're gonna love it! PS: Thank you for skiping the Gargoyle's song xD

12:44 Frollo is a judge and outside the church he was more power than the priest

So here's something interesting. Throughout the movie, the camera makes Frollo a looming figure. We're always looking up at him, in order for him to be made more intimidating. In this world, the church is in power. But in Hellfire, we mostly view him from above, as if we are watching him from God's view. So for the first time we see how powerless and small he truly is.

The people in hooded robes during Hellfire were chanting mea culpa, which is Latin for "my fault". They said this every time Frollo denied that he was to blame.
