Many years ago, orphan brothers, Claude Frollo and Jehan, were raised in Notre Dame, Frollo was very religious and grew frustrated when Jehan would go out drinking. When Frollo learns that Jehan snuck a gypsy girl into the church, he tells the archdeacon, who expels Jehan. Frollo, believing that the gypsy girl corrupted his brother, develops a strong hatred for gypsies.

Years later, Frollo has become the minister of justice. He receives a letter from Jehan to come to a village. Frollo arrives at the village to find his brother sick and on his death bed. Jehan explains that the gypsy girl died months ago and she gave Jehan a son, who Jehan asks Frollo to care for. Frollo is hesitant to take care of the baby, due to it's deformed appearance and it's gypsy mother, but Jehan begs Frollo to take care of the boy, before succumbing to his illness. Outside, Frollo considers drowning the baby instead, but Jehan's dying words convince him to take care of the boy, who he names 'Quasimodo'.

20 Years Later, Quasimodo has been raised in the Notre Dame Bell Tower, on the day of the Feast of Fools, Quasimodo wants to go, but Frollo refuses, saying the people would laugh at him for his appearance. Quasimodo's stone gargoyle friends convince him to go anyway.

In the city, Captain Phoebus arrives and meets Frollo, who tells Phoebus of his goal to eliminate the gypsies. During the festival, with Clopin leading the festivities, Quasimodo meets a gypsy dancer, Esmeralda, who later dances on stage, attracting the attention of Frollo and Phoebus. Later, Clopin announces the annual contest to determine the King of Fools, when Quasimodo is exposed on stage, everyone is initially scared of him, until Clopin and Esmeralda calm them down and declare Quasimodo the winner, however, the crowd soon turn on Quasimodo and pelt him with rotten food, until Esmeralda stops them.

Frollo orders Esmeralda's arrest until she is able to escape. She escapes to Notre Dame, where she encounters Phoebus, who informs her that he can't touch her since she is in a sanctuary, even though she doesn't claim it, when Frollo arrives, Phoebus says Esmeralda claimed sanctuary, even though she didn't. Esmeralda runs into Quasimodo and the two start to bond. With Quasimodo helping her escape, Esmeralda gives him a woven band that she wears around her neck. Quasimodo falls in love with Esmeralda while Frollo grows frustrated at his own lust for the gypsy girl, believing her to be a test from god.

When Frollo learns of Esmeralda's escape, he orders her to be hunted down, coming across a tavern known for harboring gypsies, when they refuse to give any info, Frollo orders the tavern be burned, but Phoebus refuses, when Frollo attempts to have Phoebus executed, Esmeralda turns herself in, but is saved by Phoebus, who tries to ride away with her, but he is shot with an arrow, so Esmeralda takes him to Quasimodo to see to Phoebus' injuries, where they confess their love for eachother, leaving Quasimodo heartbroken. Before Esmeralda leaves, Quasimodo tries one more attempt to get her to love him back, using 2 vases, one beautifully designed and one, cracked and broken, he then places a beautiful flower in the broken vase and a dead flower in the beautiful vase, explaining to Esmeralda that just because something is beautiful on the outside, does not mean the inside is the same, however, Esmeralda takes the dead flower from the beautiful vase, holds it to her heart, and leaves.

When Frollo arrives, Quasimodo hides Phoebus while Frollo talks, saying he has found the Court of Miracles and intends to attack there at dawn with 1,000 men. As Frollo leaves, Phoebus gets up to find the Court of Miracles to warn Esmeralda and the other gypsies. Quasimodo lets him leave, but won't go with him, saying he won't disobey Frollo's orders again. As Phoebus leaves, Quasimodo realizes the woven band Esmeralda gave him is a map of Paris and leads to the Court of Miracles. After being convinced by the gargoyles to help Phoebus warn the gypsies.

The two find a hidden tunnel to the Court of Miracles in the cemetery, while searching the tunnel, they are ambushed by the gypsies, led by Clopin.
