Judge
Claude Frollo is the villain in Walt Disney's 34th animated full length
feature film "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." He was based on Archdeacon
Claude Frollo from Victor Hugo's 1831 novel "The Hunchback of Notre
Dame." Frollo is ranked one of the greatest villains in the Disney
Renaissance, and widely regarded as one the evilest animated film
villains in all of Disney history. He is ruthless, self-centered,
narcissistic, hypocritical, short-tempered, manipulative, and the
fanatically religious French Minister of Justice.
Frollo's
lead animators were Kathy Zielinski and Sergio Pablos; and the director
Gary Trousdale described the character as "a horrible horrible person."
Tony Jay (former member of the Royal Shakespeare Company,
British-American actor, and Disney voice actor) who voiced Frollo
compared him to Hannibal Lector in "The Silence of the Lambs." The
film's producer, Don Hahn, stated that Frollo was inspired by Ralph
Fiennes' performance as Amon Goth (a Nazi who hates and murders Jews yet
desired his Jewish maid) in "Schindler's List."
This is a very rare and great original production animation drawing of Judge Claude Frollo from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," 1996. Drawings of Frollo are extremely rare in the open market and this is a very nice expressive pose. A wonderful image of this timeless evil Disney Villain and a great addition to any animation art collection!
