Plot
The film opens with Clopin, the King of the Beggars of Paris, telling a group of children the legend of Quasimodo, the deformed Hunchback bellringer of Notre Dame Cathedral. Twenty years ago, a group of gypsies attempted to smuggle themselves into Paris, but they were caught by the ruthless Judge Jehan Frollo. One woman refused to hand over the bundle she was carrying and fled. Jehan pursued her on his horse, eventually cornering her at the doors of Notre Dame Cathedral. She banged on the door, crying out for sanctuary. Jehan caughts up to her and tried to take the bundle, killing her in the process. Jehan was then shocked to learn the bundle was a deformed baby. He tried to drop it down a well but was halted by his brother, the Archdeacon Claude Frollo. Frollo took the child and decided to raise it as his own in the bell tower, naming him Quasimodo. Clopin then leaves to prepare for the upcoming Festival of Fools to be held later that day.

Quasimodo watches the festivites from the tower and is joined by Frollo. Quasimodo tells Frollo that he wants to get out and join in, but Frollo reminds him that the world will react cruelly to his appearance and tells him that the only place he is safe is within the bell tower. After Frollo leaves, Quasimodo begins to hallucinate and begins to speak to his "friends," three talking stone gargoyles. They convince Quasimodo to sneak out and join the Festival of Fools anyway.

Frollo meets with his brother and they are greeted by Phoebus de Chateaupers, a soldier who has arrived in Paris to become Captain of the Guard. Here, we see the differing views of the brothers on Paris' gypsy infestation; Jehan sees them as vermin and wants to wipe them out, while Frollo seeks to help them and bring them into the church. The trio then head down into the square to watch the Festival of Fools.

Quasimodo uses some spectacular acrobatics to climb down the cathedral and take his place among the crowds. After the gypsies gather and sing, Clopin emerges and welcomes a dancer to the stage; his own daughter, Esmeralda. Esmeralda catches the attention of many men in the crowd, including Quasimodo, Phoebus and most importantly, Frollo. When the time comes to find the Pope of Fools, Quasimodo is accidentally shoved on stage and is chosen to be crowned. Frollo is shocked when he sees him. Quasimodo catches his glare and realizes that he's in trouble.
