Considering the controversy they received because of it and the rise of social media...I doubt they could even if they wanted to. Now that they've made $1 billion films, they likely wouldn't want to (purposefully) make something devisive.
@SayShelo While I didn’t understand the darker themes, as a kid I still felt this overwhelming sense of “should I be watching this?? I don’t think I should be watching this.”
Other villains: know they are evil and love it and relish in it. Frollo: belived he was a pure righteous man. Other villain songs: end with the villain standing on top of the world and feeling powerful. Frollo's hellfire song: ends with Frollo collasping to the floor and feeling defeated by the powers of lust.
In the Hellfire song, Frollo had his chance to relinquish his lust for Esmeralda and know he will condemned himself to hell if he goes down that. The guard in the light symbolizes that fact. But Frollo refuses and his fate is sealed from that moment on.
Frollo is my favorite (male) Disney villain. That said, I do wish some of his positive qualities from the book (ie being a caring father figure to Quasimodo at times) was kept to show his complexity further.
The chanting translates to 'I'm guilty' Judge frodo is effectively trying to convince himself that he's not- but the conciousness is telling him he is.
16:15 According to IMDB trivia originally Esmeralda was going to kill Judge Frollo. Esmeralda was going to kill Judge Frollo in order to save Quasimodo by kicking Frollo off the cathedral but had to scrap it to avoid getting a PG-13 rating. I love the ending we got but seeing Esmeralda kill Judge Frollo would have been bad ass and would’ve been pretty daring for a Disney movie.
Yeah. That always creeped me out as a kid but I guess that I was pretty smart back then because I somehow knew what it meant. What is your favorite Tony Jay role and did you ever meet him? RIP to him.
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. ❤️🖤💜🔥😢😢😭😭
Frollo is just like the Dragon Ball Super villain Zamasu: 1. Both belive they are in the right aboyt their ideologies 2. Both want to kill everyone they see as evil 3. Both belive they are higher than everyone else. 4. Both have been defeated by divine intervention by the "most high Gods"
Tony Jay stated in the interview that Disney back then really tried to make three-dimensional character, and a tragic character rather then an out and out senseless villain. Everything Frollo did is understandable but not excusable as no body trusted him, including Captain Phoebus. In way, everything you summon up in this video said it all about Judge Frollo being the perfect Disney villain and a fully fleshed character.
frollo is a unique disney villain because he’s someone that CAN be real. all the other disney villains, albeit fantastic in their own rights, are more fantastical. talking sea witches, an evil lion, etc. frollo is someone that mimics the behaviors of people in history; like how many self righteous figures of religious authority have we seen target minorities, because they don’t believe in the same values? far too many to count. that’s why judge claude frollo is the most terrifying villain of disney, because he’s too realistic.
Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” *Frollo throws the rock at himself* Is what should happen, but we all know he would be more than delighted to be chucking rocks at his enemies all day.
You should to Feathers Mcgraw from Wallace and Gromit the wrong trousers, and how hes a terrifying villain, not only does he not speak, but he takes control over the main aspect of the film, the wrong trousers and he's smart and ready to do whats necessary.
I would love to see a Video of Villains with Good Publicity! You know, the Villains that appear selfless and noble in the eyes of the public, but is secretly the bad guy to the Hero and the Audience. A perfect example of this archetype would be Gaston from Beauty & the Beast.
Judge Claude Frollo is the most human and memorable character that the current Disney villains do not have: dehumanizing others so that you can feel superior, deceiving yourself in believing you’re a self righteous man to justify your actions believing you are doing God's work, you committed genocide on the Gypsy-Romanian people you think of them as nothing but sinners, you fell victim to lust like Esmeralda’s beauty that leads you one of the worst kind of sin: lust, and you finally become so corrupted by power that will make you commit horrific acts.
Speaking of realistc righteous villains with religious beliefs and backgrounds, what do you think of Enrico Pucci from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure? His philosophy of comitting whatever sins are needed to grant humanity his version of ''heaven'', as well as being the greatest kind of evil by not even realizing he is evil, is one i find very interesting.
If we are talking about him, then let us talk about his relationship with Dio? It feels like he is one of the few people Dio truly thought of as a friend.
This is a great video, but the little beeps in the music were very distracting. I thought it was something else and kept pausing to try to figure out how to turn it off
I remember someone pointed out how Frollo asked God to help him with his temptation in getting the guy to tell Frollo she was gone giving Frollo the final chance to choose right and leave her alone but instead he sold his soul and went further into his delusion
In disney Frollo was a judge not an church official. I like that change. It shows that you don't have priest or something like that to abuse religion and fall into self-holliness. People in power (no matter which kind) may start to see themselves as better. Frollo listened to priest in the begining, but as he went further into madness even religion representative couldn't get through his self-righteousness.
