Premise
In 15th century Paris, Clopin the puppeteer tells the story of Quasimodo, the misshapen bell-ringer of Notre Dame who was almost killed as a baby by Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice. Frollo was forced by the Archdeacon of Notre Dame to raise Quasimodo as his own. Now a young man, Quasimodo hides from the world in the belltower of the cathedral. But during the Festival of Fools, Quasimodo decides to take part in the festivities, where he meets the lovely gipsy girl Esmeralda and the handsome soldier Phoebus. The three of them find themselves ranged against Frollo's cruelty and his attempts to destroy the Court of Miracles. And Quasimodo must desperately defend both Esmeralda and the very cathedral of Notre Dame.
