Transcript
01:00What are you drawing, Quasimodo?
01:25It's the Kingdom of France.
01:27Angelica said one day it will stretch to the west, as far as the sea.
01:31What a happy prediction.
01:33But this is what our country is like today.
01:35Nice work. Did the king order this map?
01:37Yes. He's leaving on his annual tour of the kingdom,
01:41and he needs an exact outline of the borders.
01:43Huh?
01:44Here it is, here it is.
01:46Here's what, Dennis?
01:48Why, Quasimodo's new suit of clothes, of course.
01:51My new clothes?
01:52Yes.
01:53Well, we can't let Quasimodo accompany the king on his tour of the realm
01:56like a tramp now, can we?
01:58You mean to say...
01:59Well, exactly.
02:00The king asked me to recommend someone to immortalize his journey in drawings.
02:05And right away, I thought of our artist.
02:08Wha... you mean me?
02:10Well, don't just stand there, young man.
02:12Try them on, try them on.
02:15But, but, these are your clothes, Dennis.
02:17I've seen you wearing them.
02:19Yes, yes, my best suit of clothes.
02:21Take them.
02:23Try them on over what you're wearing.
02:26Go on.
02:27I can't wait to see how you look.
02:31The first time I wore that shirt,
02:33it was at the king's coronation.
02:36Aww.
02:38I'm sure they look better on you than on me, Dennis.
02:43It suits you very well, Quasimodo.
02:45But it isn't my size.
02:47Look at these pants.
02:48So?
02:49Just pull them up.
02:51You see?
02:52What did I tell you?
02:54It's perfect.
03:03Pipe down, Lazarus.
03:05I'll never finish this truth serum if you don't leave me alone.
03:25You mangy mutt!
03:27How many times have I told you to be careful?
03:34Well, well, well.
03:36That's an interesting chemical reaction.
03:39Maybe I've unintentionally invented...
03:44Azeroth.
03:45Come here, my precious dog.
03:49Come here, my precious dog.
03:55Try a little.
03:57Come here, my precious dog.
04:18Get back here!
04:19You bad, bad, bad, bad dog!
04:22Will you just wait!
04:27Hmm.
04:35What's going on?
04:45Hmm.
04:51Well...
04:58Hmm.
05:16Come here, you!
05:18Azeroth, this potion is miraculous.
05:21Swallow a few drops and...
05:23Poof!
05:24You change into whatever you're looking at.
05:30Oh, the effect of plasmon.
05:32So you have to hang on to this bottle and take a sip every so often.
05:41All this suddenly gives me a deliciously evil idea.
05:55You see?
05:56What did I tell you?
05:58The outfit fits him perfectly.
06:01That's true, Dennis.
06:02Quasimodo is very elegant.
06:05Thank you for staying up all night to do the alterations.
06:08You're a wonderful seamstress.
06:10Have a good journey, Quasimodo.
06:12I'll treasure every moment of it, Esmeralda.
06:14Imagine me setting off on a great journey beside the king.
06:19It's the honor of a lifetime.
06:25Look!
06:26The king's leaving.
06:28Why is Quasimodo going with our king?
06:30He's the official artist of the journey.
06:33The king and Quasimodo together on a journey.
06:36Hmm.
06:37Perfect.
06:38It's now or never.
06:41I brought you all here tonight because they tell me you are the worst criminals in the capital.
06:48So the operation will take place at the inn.
06:51Here.
06:52After you've neutralized the guards, you'll take the king.
06:55Sir! Sir! Me, sir! I know!
06:57What is it?
06:58We'll tickle him until he cries.
07:01Don't be ridiculous.
07:03Take him to the hiding place at the abandoned farm.
07:07Here.
07:09You there! What did I just say?
07:12It...
07:13It was all about...
07:14About money.
07:16There's this...
07:18Money?
07:19Ha!
07:20You won't get anything if you snooze your way through my outline of the plan.
07:24Pay attention.
07:26Now.
07:27Where was I?
07:28Uh, the abandoned farm.
07:30Ah, yes.
07:31When the king is locked up safely at the farm, wait there for my instructions.
07:37Once I've transformed into Quasimodo,
07:40I'll take you to the inn.
07:42Wait there for my instructions.
07:46Once I've transformed myself and taken the king's place,
07:50the kingdom of France will be mine.
07:54I'll be rolling in gold,
07:56heaps and heaps of gold and jewels,
07:59extorted from my loyal subject.
08:13Do you think they've arrived at the first stop on the journey?
08:15Without a doubt.
08:16And I'm sure Quasimodo is already hard at work.
08:20I wish I could draw as well as he does.
08:23That's where my artwork belongs.
08:26Have you heard?
08:27Heard what?
08:28The Duke of Burgundy is threatening to invade Paris.
08:31Hmph.
08:32He thinks he can take advantage of the king's absence.
08:35We must send a messenger to warn the king.
08:38But will he be in time?
08:43What's keeping those ruffians?
08:45I just hope...
08:48Ah, there you are.
08:49Mission accomplished.
08:52We've shot the king up in the farm.
08:54Shh.
08:55Nobody must know.
09:02A few drops of Azeroth's amazing potion
09:05stare at the royal profile on this coin
09:08and I become...
09:10The king.
09:13Well, almost.
09:15I seem to have kept the cleft in my chin.
09:19Oh well, can't be helped.
09:30Oh, sire, at last.
09:32We've been so worried.
09:34May I ask your majesty where you've been for the last few weeks?
09:37Worried?
09:38May I ask your majesty where you've been for the last few hours?
09:41No!
09:42I mean...
09:43Yes.
09:45I mean...
09:46I never left the inn.
09:51Don't stand there braying like a donkey.
09:54Go and fetch me something to drink.
09:57Sire,
09:58would it be convenient to continue our sitting from this morning?
10:01He has my chance to get even with Quasimodo.
10:05I can treat him like the worthless underling he is.
10:10Of course, my good man.
10:12Of course.
10:13Pray immortalize my kingly magnificence.
10:18And be quick about it.
10:22Excuse me, your majesty,
10:23but the pose from this morning was more like this.
10:31That's strange.
10:32I don't remember a cleft in his chin.
10:34Well, how are you getting on?
10:36I can't stay stuck like this for hours on end.
10:39Yes, sire.
10:49Your majesty,
10:50a messenger from Paris.
10:52Very well.
10:53Let him in.
10:54My lord,
10:55the Duke of Burgundy is threatening a new attack on Paris.
11:00We must return to Paris immediately.
11:03To find out what the old Duke has to offer.
11:08And you, Quasimodo,
11:09from this day forward,
11:11I shall keep you at my side
11:12to immortalize the many magnificent and historic moments
11:16that await me,
11:18the king.
11:19The king hasn't been himself for the last few hours.
11:33Marvellous.
11:34My favorite tune.
11:39I just can't help it.
11:41I have to dance.
11:45Your majesty.
12:03Here is my new personal guard.
12:06These two specially trained men
12:10will defend me in case the Duke attacks.
12:13Does the king's behavior seem a little unusual?
12:18Yes.
12:19There's something strange going on, all right.
12:25Your majesty called?
12:27Tell the cook.
12:29Your majesty called?
12:31Tell the cook to make me 12 omelettes.
12:34Immediately.
12:38Very well, your majesty.
12:39Can you really eat 12 omelettes, your majesty?
12:42Of course not.
12:43I just ordered them for the pleasure of ordering them.
12:47I've got to get to the bottom of this.
12:53Quasimodo, my boy.
12:55At last.
12:57The messenger managed to warn you.
12:59Dennis, Esmeralda, our king has changed.
13:03What do you mean, Quasimodo?
13:05He's just not the same anymore.
13:07He struts around like a peacock shouting orders.
13:11The king?
13:12Yes.
13:13He looks the same,
13:14but if I didn't know better,
13:16I'd say he was a different person.
13:18That's impossible.
13:19The king's the king and that's that.
13:21Maybe you've been staring at him too long
13:23during the drawing sessions.
13:24Could that be it?
13:25I don't know, Esmeralda.
13:27I don't know what to think.
13:29Come quick!
13:30Everyone's been ordered to gather in front of the palace.
13:32The king's going to make an announcement.
13:41Aha!
13:42My friends of Notre Dame,
13:44you're just in time.
13:46I'm about to make
13:47the most important announcement of my reign.
13:50He appears to be in fine form.
13:52What were you worried about?
13:55I hereby declare
13:56that from now on,
13:57all my subjects will pay twice as much tax.
14:03See what I mean?
14:04Excuse me, Your Majesty,
14:06but most of us don't have a penny to our names.
14:09More taxes would force
14:10thousands of your loyal subjects into misery.
14:13Anyone who doesn't pay
14:15will be sent to the royal dungeon.
14:27Royal medicine.
14:31He's not acting like good King Louis.
14:35Your Majesty!
14:36Your Majesty!
14:37Yes, yes, what is it?
14:38Your Majesty,
14:39it's the Duke of Burgundy.
14:40He and his men have surrounded the city
14:42and demand your surrender.
14:45The Duke and his men
14:46are at the edge of the La Salle forest.
14:47They demand that you go there at sunset.
14:50What are you going to do, Your Majesty?
14:52I'll go, of course.
14:54Why make a fuss?
14:57But that means the fall of Paris
14:59and the end of the Kingdom of France.
15:01Yes, wonderful, isn't it?
15:04And King Louis will go down in history
15:07as a compromiser.
15:11You aren't my king.
15:13My king would have fought to save Paris
15:15and its loyal subjects.
15:16Silence, Quasimodo!
15:18To the dungeon with the others!
15:21Her.
15:22All except her.
15:25I have heard tell of your talents
15:27as a gypsy dancer and singer.
15:31I'd appreciate a little...
15:33entertainment
15:34before I destroy everything that Louis...
15:38I mean, everything I have built!
15:41Oh, no!
15:42This is a nightmare!
15:51Where are they taking us?
15:54Don't worry, Francois.
15:55I've got an idea.
15:58Say, fellows,
15:59we probably won't get another chance to talk.
16:01So would you mind telling me
16:03where you met the king?
16:04Which one are you talking about?
16:06The one we kidnapped?
16:07Shh!
16:08Don't you remember?
16:09Frollo told us to keep our traps shut.
16:11I don't care.
16:12I'm going to find him.
16:13I'm going to find him.
16:14I'm going to find him.
16:15I'm going to find him.
16:16I'm going to find him.
16:17I'm going to find him.
16:18I'm going to find him.
16:19Traps shut?
16:23That's enough!
16:24Move along!
16:25And no talking!
16:29Frollo...
16:30Frollo...
16:36That's strange.
16:39King Louis doesn't have a cleft in his chin,
16:41but the strange king does.
16:43Just like Frollo's.
16:45Do you mean to say
16:46that Frollo has made himself look like the king?
16:48Yes.
16:49And the first thing we have to do
16:50is find the real king.
16:52Inside!
17:03Give me a boost, Francois.
17:12A little more.
17:13Pull!
17:19Ah!
17:21Quick, the keys!
17:27Tell me where the real king is,
17:29or I'll jump on top of you.
17:31Right.
17:32We'll tell you.
17:33Just don't jump on us.
17:35Good.
17:36Francois, go rescue the king.
17:39I'm going to deal with Frollo.
17:43Come on, child.
17:45Dance for us.
17:46Don't be...
17:48shy.
17:51I command you!
17:52Dance for your king.
18:04Charming.
18:06Quite simply marvellous.
18:11My vial!
18:12Where has it gone to?
18:15No!
18:19Oh, my.
18:29It's Frollo!
18:30Let's grab him!
18:41The king!
18:42It's Frollo!
18:43Yes, we know.
18:44Let's get him!
18:49What about Francois?
18:50Where is he?
18:51He just left to rescue the king.
18:53Let's hope he doesn't lose his nerve.
19:01Above all,
19:02don't panic.
19:10Help!
19:15Oh, no.
19:16This time I'm a goner.
19:21Once more I've escaped a terrible fate.
19:25My horse!
19:26Quick!
19:27There's not a moment to lose.
19:47Now, where can that vial have gone to?
19:51Finally, there it is.
20:13No, don't join in.
20:14How do we know which is the real Quasimodo?
20:20Don't panic.
20:21I'll get there.
20:22Except I don't know where I am.
20:32Guards,
20:33I am the real Quasimodo.
20:34Help me put a stop to Frollo's evil doing.
20:37Hey, no.
20:38Don't listen to him.
20:39I am Quasimodo.
20:40Don't you recognize me?
20:45Hey!
20:50Uh-oh.
21:06Ah.
21:10See?
21:12See?
21:13One step at a time.
21:36Too late.
21:42Francois, you did it.
21:45Yes, indeed, Quasimodo.
21:48Francois was a big help
21:50in sending the Duke of Burgundy and his army packing.
21:55Hey, wait.
21:56I haven't even had time to tell you
21:58how I fought the Duke and a hundred of his men single-handed.
22:04And before that,
22:05there were these monstrous forest rats that...
22:08Oh, no.
22:10Here we go again.
22:22I thank you, Quasimodo,
22:24for having stopped Frollo's diabolical plan.
22:40Ha, ha, ha.
23:10You
