Judge Claude Frollo is a fictional character in Disney's 34th animated film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). He was based on Archdeacon Claude Frollo from Victor Hugo's 1831 novel. Frollo is known as one of the cruelest Disney villains because of his actions in the movie. He uses religion to justify murder and other violent acts that are shown throughout the film. He has made multiple small appearances in other Disney franchises, including the musical adaptation for the stage.
