“Who among us hasn’t watched a particular “Hunchback” scene and thought, “This is good, but it would be better with some cats? “- AnaykhOntheDoor

Frollo Gangnam Style
I have playing League of Legends recently. So here are some the game’s champions as Quasimodo, Frollo, Phoebus and Esmeralda in the Belle pose from Notre Dame de Paris.
League of Legend Champions in the Belle set up
Quasimodo – Yorick (he’s a hunchback)
Frollo – Swain (he’s old looking)
Phoebus – Garen (he’s a knight)
Esmeralda – Sona (she a musician who actually make other champion dance)
Why did the Hunchback cross the road?
What lies beyond that road?
To get a drink of water.
The Hunchback has his prize
The Hunch Marquee, The Critic
Since Today is the Feast of Fools/The Epiphany which is the day the Hunchback starts on, I thought I would take a break from Silly Sunday and review one most outstanding and most beautiful versions of Hunchback. Unfortunately this version is the shortest and it really is just a reference in a TV show but the shear masterpiece of this makes it more than a mere reference it’s a classic version on to it’s self.

Of course I’m refereeing to musical version to from The Critic
Quasimodo on the Pillory in Hunch, The Critic
This version centers more around Quasimodo and the citizens of Paris. It opens with Quasimodo tied to the pillory and the citizens blaming all their problems on Quasimodo.
Quasimodo and Esmeralda in Hunch, The Critic
But Quasimodo takes it in stride and meets the lovely, innocent and kind Esmeralda. Quasimodo and her meet for a romantic picnic where they fall in love.

However a misunderstanding occurs and Quasimodo is let alone in his stone deaf world. The silence is broken by the toll from the bells.
Jay Sherman is the luck audience member, The Critic
A bell in then lower into the audience where one lucky person is blessed to be the bell’s clapper.

It is in this moment that Quasimodo gets the courage to save day and wins the respect and acceptance of the people of Paris.
Quasimodo with the Citizen of Paris in Hunch, The Critic
This musical has lot of memorable numbers and brilliant lyrics. It also make full use of all the wonderful word-play and sight gags that can be done with the word “Hunch.” It’s quite apparent that Disney saw this fantastic and was like “let’s copy this” but Disney fails to capture the power, the magic and the overall spectacle of this timeless version. Even the beloved Notre Dame de Paris pales in comparison the the majesty of Hunch. Clearly Hunch is the most amazing and genius rendering on Victor Hugo’s novel ever made and it’s worthy everyone love and adoration.
Watch the Glory of it here
or enjoy it as it was ment to be view on a TV
Quasimodo as the New Year’s Baby
Frollo is shocked that he received a Christmas Present. Will this generous gesture melt his icy heart? Will this present make his heart grow and will be full of Christmas cheer like the Grinch?
Frollo gets a Present
Of Course Not, he’s Frollo!
