At the urging of his hilarious gargoyle pals, Victor, Hugo and Laverne, Quasimodo defies his evil guardian Frollo and ventures from his tower to the joyous Festival of Fools in the streets of Paris below. But the crowd turns cruel and rejects Quasi because of the way he looks. After another outcast, the gypsy Esmeralda, rescues him, Quasi finds himself battling to save the people and the city he loves - while reminding us to see people for who they are, rather than how they appear.
