The Can Can first appeared in 1830 and yet the opening song is a Standard Snippet of the Can Can. A boy in modern looking clothing is also seen running across the screen towards the end of said song. The story supposedly happens in medieval France, but in the opening song the people are wearing clothes from the 18th and 19th centuries.Aristocrats Are Evil: Jean Claude and his glutton father, the Baron.Some random objects (prison bars, stone blocks from the wall, a pile of straw, and a mop and bucket) also come to life during a song sequence, though they go back to normal afterwards. Animate Inanimate Object: Melody's instruments and a decorative bell chain.Aloof Big Brother: Jean Claude has no love for Quasimodo, and is the one who imprison him in the bell tower.Melody and Jean Claude are modified characters. The only characters who really avert this are Quasimodo and Pierre. Adapted Out: Almost all the characters.It’s possible his last name is still Frollo, but it is never mentioned. The antagonist goes from Claude Frollo to Captain Jean-Claude.Since there's no reason to believe the creators of this ever read the book, it's possible they incorrectly assumed the name Esmeralda was owned by Disney and thus replaced her with a Captain Ersatz for nonexistent legal reasons. The lead Romani character is not Esmeralda, but Melody.Adaptational Villainy: In the book, Pierre was an unfortunate poet.However, here he is an aristocrat instead. Adaptational Job Change: Jean Claude is inspired on Claude Frollo, a Sinister Minister.Adaptational Comic Relief: Pierre is turned into Jean Claude's comic relief sidekick.Adaptational Attractiveness: Quasimodo cannot really be called ugly, unlike Victor Hugo's creepy version.Adaptational Alternate Ending: Quasimodo and Melody marry and supposedly will live happily ever after, in contrast to the "Everybody Dies" Ending of the book.Not only that but he also ceases being a hunchback. Abled in the Adaptation: Quasimodo's deafness from the books is absent.The troubles are caused by Jean Claude, an arrogant, greedy killjoy who wants to stop Melody because he thinks she diminishes the taxes. The story is about the hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo, and a Romani girl called Melody. This is the 1996 Golden Films Animated Adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (the Victor Hugo novel), which strangely was released near the date of the Disney adaptation.
