01:00We are but humble troubadours and hope you liked our song, and perhaps could spare a
01:29coin or two before we move along.
01:32Thank you.
01:33Thank you.
01:34Thank you.
01:35Have a good day.
01:36Enjoy a long and happy life.
01:39Look, Esmeralda, what did I tell you?
01:42Nothing opens up the heart and the purse like great poetry.
01:46Of course, they liked your dancing, too.
01:49The important thing is we now have enough money to buy our grandmother the most beautiful
01:53birthday present she's ever had.
01:56Hey!
01:57Stop, thief!
01:58Come back!
01:59Magic luck, it is sure as the sun will set.
02:00Catch this thief like a fish in the net.
02:01Yes!
02:02We've got him!
02:03Oh!
02:04Oh!

02:49Oh!
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:52Oh!
02:53Oh!
02:54Not sure, Quasimodo. It appears the energy from the locket has disappeared, which is
02:59probably what caused the net to disappear, too.
03:02But it's impossible! That magic locket has been in my family for generations!
03:08Well, there's definitely a problem somewhere.
03:11Tell me, Angelica, how did your family gain possession of this locket?
03:15Oh, it was a very long time ago. In the forest of Valnevier. One day, my great-great-grandmother
03:24Rosalinda was out gathering wild berries when she came upon a poor young girl who had
03:30fainted near a stream. The girl was burning up with a fever. She was desperately ill.
03:38What did your grandmother do, Angelica?
03:40Well, she had great knowledge of how to make medicines from forest herbs. So she whipped
03:48up a potion of such wonderful power that after only a sip, the girl's fever disappeared,
03:55and she was well again.
03:58She must have been very grateful.
04:00Far more than you can imagine, Quasimodo. For it seems this was no ordinary girl, but
04:09a high priestess of a council of magicians. And to reward my great-great-grandmother for
04:15saving her life, she gave her a magic locket that would protect her and also help any gypsy
04:22who possessed it. And over the generations, the locket has been handed down from mother
04:29to daughter until it came to me. I passed it on to Esmeralda.
04:35Oh, perhaps what needs to be done is to return to the forest of Valnevier and find the magicians
04:42who may have knowledge of the locket.
04:44But it was so long ago.
04:46Indeed. But magicians have descendants, and maybe the council still exists.
04:52Great idea. I'll get the horses.
05:07Can't you even sleep like a normal dog?
05:10Oh, hear something, do you?
05:15Ha!
05:18Go away before it pecks your nose.
05:28Must you do that in my presence?
05:31Please forgive me, Frollo. I've always been allergic to feathers.
05:34Then consider yourself lucky I didn't turn you into a pillow. Now, what did you find out?
05:39Quasimodo and his friends are about to depart for the Valnevier forest.
05:44And for what reason?
05:46In search of the legendary Council of Magicians.
05:49The Council of Magicians? What I wouldn't give to find them first, to learn all their tricks,
05:56and to become an even more powerful magician than I already am.
06:00Speaking of being a powerful magician, perhaps if you could see fit to reward me with beautiful brown hair?
06:08What? You have something against bald people.
06:12No, no, no, please. You misunderstood me.
06:14I said I wanted beautiful brown hair. A rabbit, that's it. A brown rabbit.
06:21Here, go buy your own rabbit.
06:24Thank you, Frollo. Thank you.
06:26Aye, Frollo. We'll find the Council of Magicians, and nothing will stop me.
06:33Quasimodo, we should make camp for the night. It'll soon be too dark to go on.
06:38And too wet.
06:41Look, there's a cave in those hills. Come on.
06:48It's not exactly Notre Dame. I can't see us getting much sleep in here.
06:53Look, Francois, the floor of the cave is covered with moss and leaves.
06:57Yes.
06:59It'll be a comfortable place to rest.
07:02Good. Then while you're resting, you can listen to my new poem.
07:06Once upon a stormy night...
07:10Well, a true poet doesn't need an audience anyway.
07:13Once upon a stormy night...
07:30Hey!
07:43Just wait here and don't make any sudden moves.
07:46Right.
07:51While they are busy gathering honey, I shall find the Council of Magicians.
07:56And in so doing, I shall find a way to both destroy Quasimodo and increase my own magical powers.
08:05Let's go.
08:25We're lost, aren't we, Quasimodo?
08:28We must have headed in the wrong direction when we escaped from the cave.
08:31Francois, are you all right?
08:33I'm better than all right.
08:35I dreamt I saved the two of you from this great bear as big as a mountain with teeth like giant icicles.
08:43Be quiet, Francois. Listen.
08:46What a strange sound. What could it be?
08:54Look, she wears the same symbol that's on my locket. I must talk to her.
09:00You dare interrupt us when we're welcoming a new member to the Council of Magicians?
09:08Those are the ones I warned you about. The evil little creatures who attacked me in the forest and tried to capture me.
09:15But...
09:16No, don't let him touch me. I beg your protection. As your newest brother in the Council of Magicians, you mustn't let them hurt me again.
09:23Again? But we've never laid eyes on you.
09:26Never laid eyes on me? Then how do you account for this and this?
09:30There must be some mistake.
09:33Silence!
09:34Why would they do such a thing, Lola?
09:36I'll tell you why.
09:38Because they are spies of King Louie, who has sworn on his very crown to destroy the Council of Magicians.
09:45These three traitors are our enemies. We must get rid of them.
09:49Ah!
09:55And get rid of them. I will.
10:00Wait!
10:01How dare you stop me, you... you...
10:03Isabelle, High Priestess of the Council of Magicians, if those are the words you were searching for.
10:09Yes, of course you're the High Priestess, Isabelle.
10:14Now, you have proof that they are spies for King Louie, and that the King means to harm us?
10:19Well, Magician Lorloff, have you proof or not?
10:22Proof? Well, not exactly proof, but I'm sure we'll find something if we search their saddlebags.
10:33And what have we here?
10:36Muahahaha! The King's golden coins!
10:40And where would a poor gypsy girl get such great wealth if not from the King himself?
10:46But I've never seen those coins before.
10:49Silence!
10:50I'll just keep these for evidence.
10:52Let's see what we have here.
10:56Ah, some sort of secret spy code.
10:59Once upon a stormy night, I was just sitting tight...
11:02That's my new poem!
11:04Poem? Does that sound anything like a decent poem?
11:09Now, as for their leader...
11:12Ah, what is this? A letter from King Louie himself?
11:16What?
11:17Let me see that.
11:18By all means.
11:19You are hereby ordered to find the Council of Magicians, capture them, and return them to Paris, where they will reveal all their magical secrets.
11:29I will then use those secrets to invade neighboring countries.
11:34Signed, King Louie XI of France.
11:38Now, do you believe me, your high priestess?
11:42They are spies indeed.
11:44We must stop them before it's too late.
11:46We're not spies, and King Louie is not the enemy of the magicians.
11:50What more proof do we need?
11:52Our brother Lorlock is right. We must get rid of them.
11:56No, wait. You must look at this locket. You'll see we're telling the truth.
12:00There's nothing to see here.
12:02There's nothing to see? It is time for your punishment.
12:08We all owe you a debt of gratitude, Lorlock. How can we ever repay you?
12:13I ask for no payment from my magician brothers, except perhaps to share in all their magical secrets, just so I can feel closer to them.
12:22We can think of no one more deserving. Come!
12:26Wait. It's no small thing, Magician Lorlock, to use your magic to make people disappear.
12:34I alone among us have that authority, and as of yet have not found good enough reason to use it.
12:41But your high priestess, I haven't made them disappear.
12:44I've merely shrunk them down to a more convenient size so they can no longer harm us.
12:51The Council of Magicians just disappeared.
12:54Wait until I get my hands on that Lorlock!
12:57I wonder why Lorlock told all those lies about us.
13:00And not just little white lies, either. If I didn't know better, I'd think they came from...
13:05Frollo!
13:06We must warn the Council that one of the most evil men in the world is in their midst.
13:11What's that?
13:13Whoa!
13:22We've discovered the land of the giant ant!
13:27They're not giant ants.
13:29Then why are they a hundred times bigger than we are?
13:32Because we've been shrunk.
13:36Once upon a sunny day...
13:40How can you just lie there at a time like this, sipping nectar and writing poetry?
13:44Because it's when times are bad that a true poet is at his best.
13:52It's no use, Esmeralda. We'll never make it.
13:55But if I could just show Isabelle my locket, I'm sure she'll believe us about Frollo.
14:00Help! Get away!
14:03Help! Get away!
14:06Find your own flower! This one's mine!
14:21Francois, are you all right?
14:24Except for my pride, I'm fine.
14:27That's it! If we could fly up to Isabelle's ear, we could talk to her.
14:31Fly? A bee? No, thank you. Not a bee.
14:46Quasimodo!
14:48Good beetle. Cool little beetle.
14:54Wow!
14:57A bush is a bush, no doubt, no doubt.
15:00Unless, of course, it has a snout!
15:04Amazing, truly amazing.
15:06But I was hoping to learn a thing or two from you.
15:10Oh, no.
15:12A snout!
15:13Amazing, truly amazing.
15:15But I was hoping to learn something a little more practical, shall we say.
15:20More practical than turning a thorny bush into a hog?
15:25You surely wouldn't say that if you were starving.
15:29True. Nor would I be starving if I had all the gold in the world.
15:34He wants to skip the easy stuff and go straight for the gold.
15:40Isabelle!
15:42There's something we have to tell you!
15:45She can't hear us, Quasimodo.
15:47We need to fly closer to her ear.
15:51Whoa, beetle! Whoa!
15:54Isabelle! High Priestess! My name is Quasimodo, and you must hear what I have to say!
16:02I could have sworn I heard someone call my name.
16:05Isabelle! Isabelle!
16:08Is something wrong, your High Priestess?
16:10Isabelle, Lorlof is not really Lorlof.
16:18It's nothing but a harmless insect.
16:25Gotcha!
16:29An ordinary bug is a bug, no doubt.
16:32Unless, of course, I crush it out.
16:34Wait, since when does an ordinary bug talk?
16:37Open your hand.
16:38But...
16:39Open your hand, or suffer my wrath!
16:49Your High Priestess.
16:54Speak, Quasimodo. You don't have to be afraid.
16:59This is an outrage! As a member of the Council of Magicians, I...
17:03Surround him!
17:04But... but... but...
17:08What is the meaning of this, Lorlof?
17:12His name isn't Lorlof, but Frollo.
17:14And I have just been informed that he is a criminal who is wanted for attempting to kill the king.
17:19Yes, but only because he swore to destroy the Council of Magicians.
17:24If you're an honest man, then why do you need a disguise?
17:28Because I had to slip through the king's soldiers to warn you. They're everywhere.
17:32And if Quasimodo has his own proof?
17:34Then let him show it!
17:36First, they must be returned to their normal size.
17:47Well?
17:48Oh, if you insist.
17:52Now, this proof of yours.
17:54This magic locket was given to me by my grandmother,
17:57who got it from her mother, who got it from her mother, who got it from...
18:01My great-grandmother.
18:03Yes, Esmeralda, the story has been passed down in my family, too.
18:07And we're all very thankful your ancestor came along to save my ancestor.
18:12It is truly a thing of beauty.
18:15Yes, but it doesn't work anymore.
18:17For some reason, it's lost its magical powers.
18:20Well, we'll just see about that.
18:26Magic lockets, like people, must be recharged now and then.
18:30Thank you so much, Isabel.
18:32Her locket?
18:33How do you know these little beetle jockeys didn't steal the locket?
18:37Your Frollo has a point, your high priestess.
18:41What if these three have really been sent here by the king to destroy us?
18:46Silence!
18:47Since the council seems fairly evenly divided,
18:50we must settle the matter with a judgment by magic.
18:54What does that mean?
18:55Both you and Frollo will perform a magical feat,
18:58which will best show us the true nature of your hearts.
19:01But Frollo is a great magician, and I'm just...
19:03Only then will we know which of you tells the truth.
19:10Looks like rain.
19:11Guess we'll just have to postpone the match.
19:13Nonsense.
19:14Tiny mushroom no bigger than a scythe,
19:17show us your power to keep us dry.
19:23Let the judgment by magic begin.
19:25You first, Esmeralda.
19:27But...
19:29Just speak the truth in your heart, my dear,
19:31and you'll have nothing to fear.
19:33You can do it, Esmeralda.
19:35But I'm no match for Frollo.
19:38Come, come, unless you're ready to admit your lies.
19:42Esmeralda, could you make appear by the force of your feelings and your magic
19:46that which is most precious to you in all the world?
19:50My heart sings at many things.
19:52One of the sweetest is the sight of winters giving way to springs.
19:59A little slight of hand, no more.
20:02All of you, listen to me.
20:04I will show you something that is much more precious than springtime.
20:08Love, charity, and kindness.
20:11My greatest virtues.
20:14What's in my heart?
20:15I beg to appear.
20:17Show us what it is which brings me good cheer.
20:21Show us what it is which brings me good cheer.
20:28Gold! It's raining gold!
20:30And it's just on me.
20:32And it's my gold, all mine!
20:35Stand back, all of you.
20:37Touch one single piece and I'll...
20:39I'll make sure you never see Esmeralda again.
20:43If you don't let her go, I'll...
20:52Whoa!
20:54Whoa!
20:57Ah!
20:58Once I am rid of you, all the magic secrets of this council
21:03and all the riches of the world will be mine.
21:06Do it, Esmeralda. You have the power.
21:08Magic Locket, come to our aid and protect Quasimodo.
21:19Ah!
21:21Why shouldn't I help?
21:22Will someone help me, please?
21:24Ah!
21:31I'll save your life, Frollo.
21:33Now confess your lies about us.
21:35Yes, yes, anything.
21:37I forged that letter from the king and his signature as well.
21:40And the gold coins?
21:42They were mine. I only pretended to find them.
21:45And my poem?
21:46That was his. All his.
21:51Ah!
21:54My gold!
21:55Thank heavens it's still here.
21:58Ah!
22:01Your heart spoke louder than your words, Frollo,
22:04so you end up with nothing.
22:06Now go.
22:07All memory of the magicians of Valnavier will vanish from your mind,
22:11along with the secrets of their magic.
22:14As for you, Esmeralda, your heart is pure.
22:18Take this ring as my gift to you.
22:21It will allow you to recognize those who are evil,
22:24and above all, those who are good.
22:27Thank you, Isabel. I will never forget you.
22:30Isabel has given us the perfect gift for Angelica's birthday.
22:48THE END
