Why is esmeralda dark

Her role in the film is much smaller than her part in the original, with the story now focusing on Quasimodo finding a love interest in Madellaine. Whenever Quasimodo had problems in the film, he usually turned to Esmeralda for advice. At one point, a very valuable bell was stolen by the new antagonist, Sarousch.

Though distressed about the situation, Esmeralda joined Phoebus in watching a newly revealed albeit misunderstood villain named Madellaine and any other prisoners. When Madellaine revealed Sarousch was taking the bell to an underground escape passage, Esmeralda convinced a suspicious Phoebus to give her the benefit of the doubt.

As such, Phoebus pursued Sarousch, and Esmeralda followed. After Sarousch was arrested and their son rescued, Esmeralda returned to the festival with everyone else. She and Phoebus were shown to have reconciled as they are seen smiling at each other before sharing a kiss.

Esmeralda then smiled as she witnessed the new union of Quasimodo and Madellaine. Esmeralda makes a few cameo appearances in the House of Mouse , usually with Quasimodo. When Riku arrives in the city, Esmeralda runs past him after she escapes from Frollo and Phoebus through a magic trick.

Phoebus approaches Riku and questions if he saw a "gypsy" a degrading term for Romani people pass him, to which he denies. Once Phoebus was gone, a grateful Esmeralda introduces herself to Riku and expresses her gratitude to him.

Later, she helps Quasimodo escape into Notre Dame after things went wrong during the Festival of Fools. However, Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice of Paris and Quasimodo's guardian, who harbors a deep hatred for Romani people, prevents her from leaving by posting guards at the entrances as vengeance for saving the hunchback.

Inside, Quasimodo offers her a place at the sanctuary. However, Esmeralda declined as she didn't want to be confined between stone walls and gave Quasimodo a necklace that would guide him to the Court of Miracles, before leaving to return to the streets.

Before they have time to escape, he comes with an army of Nightmares and seizes Esmeralda, who is later condemned to be burnt at a stake. Quasimodo manages to rescue her and following the battle that ultimately led to Frollo's death, Quasimodo blesses her relationship with Phoebus. In the German musical adaptation of the film, Esmeralda is portrayed as a young dancer who is a newcomer to the Court of Miracles.

She gets very frustrated with inequality. She has difficulty keeping her thoughts to herself which is why she had to move to Paris and why she gets in trouble with Frollo.

Not as sassy as she is in the film, she comes off as sweeter and naive, which is more akin to the original novel. The musical features a new scene between Esmeralda's capture and execution, in which she sings " Someday " as a way t express her dying wish of the world becoming a better place. As in the original novel, Esmeralda dies, though she is killed by smoke inhalation instead of by Frollo.

Her death causes Quasimodo to kill Frollo, and, in the end, carries her corpse and leaves Notre Dame. In the North American musical, Esmeralda's role is similar to the original musical. However, one of the main differences is that she does not go to Notre Dame to hide from Frollo, since Frollo in this version is the cathedral's archdeacon, instead simply following Quasimodo out of curiosity. During this visit, Esmeralda meets Frollo, with Frollo ultimately agreeing to let Esmeralda stay inside the cathedral for a time.

Another notable difference is that she and Phoebus share their first kiss inside a tavern in which gypsies hide, unknowingly being watched by a disgusted Frollo. This version of the musical also has Esmeralda bringing an injured Phoebus as in the original film and giving him during that moment the amulet with the map. It also alters the "Someday" number, with Frollo offering to save Phoebus instead of her if she agrees to be his mistress, and sings "Someday" as a duet with Phoebus instead of a solo.

While she dies in the end as in the original musical, her fate also slightly differs as, after her and Frollo's death, Quasimodo holds her corpse until starving to death. Esmeralda is very rarely seen in the Disney theme parks around the world. She made her debut near the initial release of the original film. She can also be spotted, occasionally, on the Mark Twain Riverboat in Fantasmic! In , she made appearances during Long Lost Friends week, for meet-and-greet sessions alongside Clopin and Frollo.

Esmeralda appeared playing a role similar to that of the film in the live, stage show The Hunchback of Notre Dame: A Musical Adventure. Esmeralda currently makes meet-and-greet appearances in Fantasyland of Tokyo Disneyland park. Esmeralda primarily appears in Disneyland Paris , where she has appeared for meet-and-greets, as well as live shows during the seasonal events of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Esmeralda appeared in the event as one of Stitch 's invited guests in Stitch and Friends Summer Surprise.

Chapter 2. Fireworks: HarmonioUS. Toad: Mr. Disney Wiki Explore. Toy Story Monsters, Inc. One of my favorites, and I suspect that parent groups, as well as other groups had complained enough to not only alienate the movie from Disney but, every movie since has been more toonish, and less human element. I think Megara was the next female heroine and the drawing technique changed dramatically. I know that in , when I visited disneyworld, there was little to none Hunchback souveneirs and no Esmeralda.

Pingback: Writing Journal. Esmeralda and Belle are my favorite Disney heroines. Esme may not be virgin, she may have seen a lot, but she has not let it corrupt herself. Great stuff Adam, so jealous you got to see it in psoern, my favorite scenes were actually the ones with genie and the shadow man from the princess and frog, because they stunned me the most visually, but i loved the whole show.

It is my favourite Disney movie and one of my favourite stories, although I prefer her in the story than the book, that that is who I relate to. Thank you! Yeah and the fact that America has more money ploughed in. Pingback: Demi Moore Wugez. What a photo! Maybe Quasimodo's devotion to the obviously evil Frollo was the reason that Esmeralda felt the need to leave the safety of Notre Dame instantly after Phoebus had her use the "sanctuary" card.

I know she's a gypsy and all and needs to roam, but a little down time in the church wouldn't have killed her. And actually, it would have saved a lot of other people from Frollo's wrath. I swore I heard one of the Paris soldiers use a French accent while searching for Esmeralda. Uhhh , either everyone has to have a French accent or no one should since the movie takes place in France.

OK, so I get that the song "Hellfire" exists to explain Frollo's motivation , but I was super uncomfortable with the dancing flame Esmeralda and watching Frollo rub Esmeralda's scarf all over his face. I'm pretty sure I felt uncomfortable when I watched it as a kid too, but now I truly understand the inappropriateness. Maybe I can forgive this scene since they have Frollo appear hungover the morning after "Hellfire" and he explains it away by saying, "I had a little trouble with the fireplace.

If you can ignore all the sadism and sexual harassment, you gotta admit that Frollo's got a pretty solid ring game. The gypsy community is very supportive considering that even with Frollo being so menacing, no one gave up Esmeralda's whereabouts.

I'm all about the gargoyles being supportive, but for professional observers, they should have known not to get Quasi's hopes up that Esmeralda liked him. They even sang a damn song about it — c'mon Victor, Hugo, and Laverne!

Plus, there was a really forced rhyme about a croissant in "A Guy Like You. As with every Disney movie, Phoebus and Esmeralda become romantically attached super fast, but I'm actually more concerned that they didn't seem to care that Quasi was standing right there during their make out session.

Speaking of things moving quickly, any time Frollo tried to light something on fire, it went up in flames instantly.
