Let’s talk about Game of Thrones because everyone else is. Game of Thrones
First up fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister.
Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister, Game of Thrones
Tyrion is a dwarf and is often called the imp. But more than that in book he is supposed to be quite ugly. He is described as having stubby legs a jutting forehead, mismatched eyes of green and black, and lank, white-blonde hair. Later he gets an injury that removes most of his nose. So he is deformed. While he isn’t characterized as being a nice as Quasimodo he does have sympathy for outcasts and the mistreated.
Sandor Clegane a.k.a the Hound
Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane, Game of Thrones
The Hound also has a deformity as result of getting very badly burned as a child. He is obsessed with Sansa Stark who is considered a great beauty. He is attracted to her after she shows him some compassion and treats him like a human. He reminds me of Frollo and Quasimodo. And Quasimodo was liken to a dog.
Petyr Baelish
Aidan Gillen as Petyr Baelish, Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, Game of Thrones
He sort of has Frollo level obession, first with Catelyn Stark and then that get refocuses on her daughter, Sansa Stark who looks like her.
Sansa Stark
Sophie Turner as Sansa Stark, Game of Thrones
She is like Esmeralda in the sense that she captures men’s attentions and is a great beauty.
Arianne Martell
Arianne Martell by Matt Olson, Game of Thrones
She seems to resemble Esmeralda in the looks department. She is short, buxon, large dark eyes, olive skin, long black eyes. I would say whoever they get to cast her for the show could make a lovely Esmeralda except the show cut her and that was a dumb movie. I hated season five.

Esmeralda from Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame
Last Month Disney had a vote for people to vote for which characters the would like to see at the Disney land park. One of the options was Esmeralda, Clopin and Frollo and I’m happy to say that they won.
The other winners were;
-From “Pocahontas” – Pocahontas, John Smith, Meeko and Governor Ratcliffe
-From “Robin Hood” – Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Prince John and Sheriff of Nottingham
– And Scrooge McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake
They will only be there til April 14th so if you go see them,
Quasimodo (Anthony Quinn) with a cat, 1956 The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Quasimodo – One of the Hallmarks of any good Hunchback of Notre Dame version is how Quasimodo’s look. It’s important to his character. The 1956 version tried to humanize his looks and it didn’t work, at all.
He hardly has any deformity and he’s not a hunchback, Quinn just slouches, so he’s a slouch-back. Did they forget his hunch? Anyway. His over-all costume is tan and green. It fits in with scope of the other designs of the movie but it’s too neat and clean for a recluse bell-ringer.
Frollo (Alain Cuny), 1956 The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Frollo – Frollo’s costume from a design stand point is simple, he wears black, the end. Mess that up and you have an very incompetent costume designer.Of course ideally he wears a back hooded robe.
And this version got all those elements. There is some more design inserted into the costume but it doesn’t distract. He has wide sleeves typically called “poet sleeves.” He also has seams that give his robe a padded look. He also sports a cape which gives a dramatic flair.
Robert Hirsch as Gringoire & Gina Lollobrigida as Esmeralda, 1956 Hunchback of Notre dame
Gringoire – Gringoire, like Quasimodo wears green and tan. His doublet has puffed sleeves that extend into a false sleeve which gives of top-heaviness which was fashionable at the time. He also has the same padding like seams that Frollo has on his costume.
Jean Danet as Phoebus,1956 Hunchback of Notre dame
Phoebus– Since Phoebus is rich and a soldier he get a few costume changes. He gets soldier suit and two civilian looks. However these looks are quite similar. All of his looks have sparkles which I’m sure is an anachronism. His costume also use richer fabrics than the other characters but the cut is identical to Gringoire’s costume.
Danielle Dumont as Fleur de Lys, 1956 Hunchback of Notre dame
Fleur de Lys– Fleur wears a light blue gown with a veiled hennin (the princess pointy hat), which was the fashion in the 15th century. Her style of dress is very on point with what women wore then, it has a high waistline and a v-neckline. Her gown is detailed with fur and appliques. Though appliques are yet an anachronism.
Philippe Clay as Clopin, 1956 Hunchback of Notre dame
Clopin – Being as he poses a beggar, Clopin wears tan and rougher fabrics. Unlike Quasimodo and Gringoire, his clothing are ragged. He also is typically seen wearing a cloth cap that matches his tan tunic.
Quasimodo (Anthony Quinn) giving flowers to Esmeralda (Gina Lollobrigida) 1956 The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Overall, while the costumes in this movie are not to exciting they more or less work within the scope of a medieval movie. However they don’t stand out as being amazing. The worse thing about the costumes in this movie is the lack of effort on Quasimodo’s make-up. Even if you are going to humanize Quasimodo’s looks, he still NEEDS A HUNCH!

Quasimodo Sunday is the Sunday after Easter, transnational called “Low Sunday.” In The Hunchback of Notre Dame this is the day in which Frollo finds Quasimodo as a baby and adopts. He calls him Quasimodo because of the day and his deformities. So to celebrate Quasimodo’s name day this;
