KamaSutra; A Tale of Love DVD cover
A film that has similar elements to the Hunchback is the 1996 movie KamaSutra; A Tale of Love
Indira Varma as Maya, KamaSutra; A Tale of Love
First off, It’s an about a young women names Maya (Indira Varma) who has studied dancing. We have a young beautiful dancer, though Maya isn’t the prude as Esmeralda is.

Second, we have a Hunchback who is not too good this the ladies. The Hunchback who is a prince in this movie. Is in love with Maya. He is no where near as devote as Quasimodo.
Ramon Tikaram as Jai Kumar, KamaSutra; A Tale of Love
Third, we have two guys in love with Maya (in addition to the Hunchback prince). One is an artist who loves her more in a human way.
Indira Varma as Maya and Naveen Andrews as Raj Singh, KamaSutra; A Tale of Love
The other is King who is obsessed with her. He even says his mood depend solely on her, which is true. When she rejects him even though she is his courtesan he get depressed and more dependent on opium. He is where near as complex or as interesting as Frollo.

These similarities are coincidental and I highly doubt that KamaSutra; A Tale of Love was even remotely influenced by Hunchback but still the similar elements are striking.
KamaSutra; A Tale of Love isn’t the greatest movie in the world but it’s pretty and enjoyable.
