The Hunchback of Notre Dame
by Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise
In the year of grace 1482 in Paris, Quasimodo, a young deformed orphan, is the bell ringer of Notre-Dame. He lives secluded in the bell tower under the rule of the powerful judge Frollo, his master. His only friends are the gargoyles the Rocaille, the Wall, and the Aviary. Quasimodo dreams of living free among all those he has long observed. This long-awaited moment arrives on the day of the Feast of Fools and, disobeying Frollo, he mingles with the people who have come to celebrate the New Year.
