I have read the novel, that´s why I said that Frollo is too changed. In the novel HE is Archdeacon and most interesting character of the story, with some gorgeously purple passages of black romanticism and tortured Catholicism, capable of brutality and compassion (he tortures himself when Esmeralda is tortured, saves toddler Quasimodo from being burned alive etc). Jehan is young sleazebag, Gringoire is too much a coward to help Esme who saved HIM, and ending is heartbreaking.
Phoebus doesn't die, He survives and Esmeralda is hanged thanks to Frollo who happends to be the worst character in the novel then Quasi then dies of starvation next to esmeraldas corpse, that is how the novel actually ended.
Phoebus dies and Esme and Quasi are saved! Yess! Frollo is very good, although the character is too changed. I don´t think this is the best version, though.
Let me get this straight...Quasimodo helps Esmeralda escape but she doesn't thank him, just leaves with Phoebes? How terrible!

@sweetiegrl41 The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a tragedy, after all.

continues This version was badly censored (no lustful murderous priests under Hays code, etc).
