Secret of the Hunchback has this plot which has some from the novel and its own twist and turns. So it looks like a rehash of characters but not really. So the beginning starts where kind Archdeacon Claude Frollo adopts Quasimodo and he does have his assistant. Claude could not care how ugly Quasimodo was, he raised the freak anyway but warned him about society can be so unforgiving while there are good people. So Quasimodo sneaks out to see the festival and meets Pierre Gringoire a misunderstood poet and Esmeralda WHO LOOKS LIKE BELLE. In the middle of everything, there is Jehan Frollo the Archdeacon's corrupt brother who is the High Sheriff of Paris, who looks like a cross between Gaston and Jafar, but mostly Gaston personality-wise accompanied by a bumbling sidekick like Lefou. And what's worse is that Jehan has developed feelings for Esmeralda, wants to marry her but she HATES HIM. So yeah, pretty much Belle as Esmeralda and Gaston as the High Sheriff of Paris, though she is in love with Gringoire. The ending pretty shocked me that after Jehan dies, so where in the world did Quasimodo's wings come from? Ha! Pretty funny if you ask me.
