The villain, Frollo, whose animated details are beyond anything I've quite seen before, wants the gypsies dead, but cannot deny the beauty of Esmeralda and wants her all to himself, so much so that he'll kill her if she doesn't comply. Many of the characters face developments of an adult nature. This film is often a struggle to endure at times, as you witness the brutal mistreatment of Quasimodo and the quarrel between the handsome and gentle Phoebus and Quasimodo, both vying for the hand of Esmeralda. With enough animated detail, action sequences, and character development, the film catapults light years beyond anything before its time. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is one of the darkest Disney movies to date.
