Jack in the box from Fantasia 2000 and... Frollo?

When I first saw The Steadfast Soldier from [i]Fantasia

2000[/i] I thought to myself [i]Hmmm… this jack in the box looks so

familiar…[/i]

Then it came to me… he reminds me of Frollo!

. The facial

features

.The controlling behavior

.Desire for the lovely dancer

.Death by fiery

inferno

Did anyone else see the resemlance from the begining?

Now that

you mentioned it . . . he DOES seem similar. :open_mouth:

But in th end, I see the Jack in the Box as more of

a pathetic baddie and Frollo as JUST. PLAIN. SCARY. [i]("Like Fire . .

."[/i])

I

agree… Frollo’s scary! Scarier then seeing my former gym teacher naked.
Hellfire will always be my

favorite Disney song though :laughing:

He’s also a classic grey character too. "It’s not

my fault! It was the gypsey . . ."

Always blaming everyone else, like Demona!!

I agree that Hellfire is among the greatest Disney songs

ever and God Help the Outcast is severely underrated as well. :slight_smile:

Overall, I think the Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the most underated Disney films to

date. Maybe because kids found it so scary?? (Hey, I was scared . . . but I love it now, even though I’m still

a little creeped out!)

I seriously consider it to be one of the last great Disney films of the Second

Golden Era (according to Lasseter there were two Golden Eras of Disney . . . one in the 30’s, and one in the

late 80’s - 90’s)

It had a lot of adult situations and stuff, and some parents were a little

uncomfortable taking their kids to see it.

My mom had no qualms about it, lucky for moi :smiley:

I just saw it today on VHS, and whooo, that Frollo IS still scary, but I notice even more so

his grayness – the irony of his attraction to a gypsey when he’s purged them for more than 20 years!

I

also liked Phoebus more so this time around. Before (and since I first watched the movie) I always had a

“blag” kind of feeling for him. But I generally like the guy now!

But I have one query, and

this may be because I grew on Gargoyles: Are Quasi’s Gargs supposed to be alive or

not? I mean, are they really alive, or just a figment of his imagination (due to his solitation)??

I was

confused with that at first as well, but I think they are meant to be alive. After ‘A Guy Like You’, when

Esmerelda bursts in, everything turns to stone rather than disappears (like it would if it were imaginary), Hugo

interacts with Djai the goat, they pour molten lead (or whatever it is) out of the cathedral and drop the

catapult onto the soldiers, and the gargoyle at the end which breaks off (killing Frollo) seems to come to life

as well, deliberately killing him.
Quasimodo was busy while all of that was going on, so there’s no way he

could have imagined the gargoyles were doing it while he was doing it himself.

Anyone have a favorite garoyle?

I suppose this would be

an appropriate place to mention the passing of Tony Jay (voice of Frollo). Find more info at

Animated News.

Aww! :frowning: He had an excellent career though. A moment of silence.

Yeah, I just heard that from the Ask

Greg Site. He played the voice of Anubis in Gargoyles, and THAT was always a favorite of mine. Yes, he will be

missed . . .
