Since it’s Valentine’s Day, let’s celebrate 5 times Quasimodo and Esmeralda* actually got together at the end. And not in the tragic way like in the novel but in the happy romance kind. (* one of the “Esmeraldas” has a different name but she is essentially Esmeralda.)
Quasimodo d’El Paris
This odd modern comedic retelling does in fact have these getting together at the end. It’s a weird version to be sure but it does have it’s moments and it’s a nice change of pace for a live-action version having these two get together at the end.
The Magical Adventures of Quasimodo
While this Children’s TV Show version doesn’t in fact have Quasimodo and Esmeralda officially as couple, they are cute and flirty with each other and it was clear that was the direction for these two had the show gone on longer.
The Jetlag Version
The Jetlag version ends with them running off together after a very loving embrace.
Enchanted Tales
Melody is essentially Esmeralda all except in name, so she counts. While the Enchanted Tales version is decidedly mediocre these two get married at the end and that is very romance.
And Last but not Least HUNCH!
While this is a fake musical from the 90s show The Critic, it counts! In the show “Hunch” is an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and it’s clear that Esmeralda and Quasimodo has a romantic attachment. (Put a pin in this one for now.)
