When Frollo is helping Quasi go over his alphabet (A-abomination,
B-blashphemy, etc.), Quasi pours drinks (wine?) for both Frollo and
himself. When Frollo says "E?", he is bringing his cup up to his mouth
to drink. Quasi says "eternal damnation," then Frollo says "Good. F?"
Frollo then brings his cup to his mouth. The camera jumps to Quasi as
he says "festival", and you can still see Frollo's cup on the table,
even though he is drinking out of it at that very moment. (It is NOT
Quasi's cup: his is old and worn, while Frollo's is new and taller.)
REPORTED: Chappa Christopher L 29 May 97
When Frollo slams his alphabet book shut and
stands up to talk about how he hates the festival, the book mysteriously
disappears. Either that or he puts it in his robe so fast along with the
tupperware and everything else in there.

There is a very brief cameo from Geppetto's son, Pinocchio. It's in the sceen where you see Esmeralda and Djahi for the first time. Just before the camera starts to zoom in on her dancing, you can see a boy sitting on the wall, swinging his legs and nodding his head. From the far angle, he looks like Pinocchio, but later turns out to be the kid who signals to get out of there quick.

At the begining of "Out There," just as Quasimodo sings "Not above them, but part of them," the camera shows an overhead view of part of the city (Collector's Edition laser disc boxed set of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame chapter 6, frames 23135 through 23384) and in the lower left corner of the frame, there is a round TV satellite dish on one of the rooftops! I have never seen this film on the pan and scan video tape, so the dish might be cut off from the side of the screen. However, on the widescreen laserdisc, it is clearly visible!

the movie it is.
REPORTED: Dale or Heather 24 JUN 96
It's the same scene as when Belle makes her cameo, and when the
rug-merchant waves to her while holding the magic carpet (detail on
carpet much simplified). Pumba is really difficult to see, as he is
at an oblique angle and goes by when the camera is still
helicoptering over the rooftops.

Jafar is the old man who is locked up in the stockade during the festival and escapes
yelling "I'm Free!" only to be locked up again.
This was confirmed by a Cast Member while we were riding the
Storybook Land Canal Boats on the 4th of July.
REPORTED: MDCJR2 09 JUL 96
CONFIRMED: David Koc 09 JUL 96
The old man that seems to have the worse luck ('I'm free...Dang it!') is indeed Jafar. If you know your Disney Music, his second appearance (before falling in 'Mon Sewer') is heralded with a phrase from 'To Be Free'...from Disney's Aladdin! It's only 8 notes long, and it's easier to hear on the soundtrack, but it's there.
CONFIRMED: Scott M. Leonard 05 APR 97
The old man who is set free and recaptured in the Esmeralda chase sequence and subsequently falls into "Mon Sewer" later in the film neither sounds nor looks much like Jafar in his old man disguise, as some people contend.
WISHFUL THINKING: Doug Skiles 23 APR 97
CONFIRMED: OzToOz 30 APR 97
There seems to be some question about who is the voice of the old man prisoner in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" that falls into the sewer and says "I'm free, I'm free! Dangit!" His voice was provided by one of the film's directors, Gary Trousdale. He himself admits to this fact in the collector's edition laser disc boxed set, on the second audio commentary track. Trousdale also provided the screaming voices of the guards that are shot through the air, slingshot style, when they chase Esmeralda through the town square. He also provided the screaming voices of the guards that fall from Notre Dame during the final fight scenes.
UPDATE: Locoboy 29 MAR 98

During Frollo's quest to find Esmeralda, in the scene where he
burns a house down and Phoebus saves the family. The opening
scene is an exact remake from an old Disney movie, callen here in
Mexico "El Molino de Viento." I think its title was "The Windmill,"
a story about an old windmill that starts move again causing havoc to
the animals that lived in it.

CONFIRMED: Jed 05 AUG 96
On the second audio commentary track of Hunchback of Notre Dame Collector's Edition laser disc boxed Kirk Wise, Gary Trousdale, and Don Hahn mention not a Hidden Mickey, but a Hidden Donald Duck and a Hidden Goofy. They are hidden as gargoyle statues on the second level of Notre Dame. This is in the scene when Quasimodo helps Esmeralda and Djali escape the cathedral by carrying them and jumping over the railing of the top floor. When all 3 of them are hanging there from the edge, Esmeralda and Djali look downward and the camera shows what they're seeing through their eyes as they are dangling there high above the ground. Right after Quasi says "The trick is not to look down," the screen rocks back and forth a little bit and there are some gargoyle figures located about halfway down the cathedral on a lower level balcony. This is during chapter 19, frames 24136 through 24195. Wise, Trousdale, and Hahn clearly state that 2 of the figures are actually Goofy and Donald!
REPORTED: Locoboy 13 MAR 98
When the gargoyals are singing to Quasimodo and fixing him up to look nice, they put this gigantic white thing on his head with curls. This is because Tom Hulce was Mozart in the 1984 film Amadeus and the animators threw this in as fun little reference to Tom Hulces' earlier movie.
REPORTED: Tom Kinzer 19 JUL 96
This is confirmation that, indeed, in the scene of the gargoyles are singing to Quasimodo and fixing him up to look nice and they place the large, curly, white wig on his head, it IS a reference to Hulce's earlier "Amadeus" As a gigantic "Amadeus" fan I naturally had to investigate this one. I ran both movies, one on my upstairs tv and the other on the downstairs, and froze the frames. If you look, the wig not only resembles, but is nearly a perfect cartoon replica of a wig seen in Amadeus, though not on Mozart, on a person watching his opera. Clever!

In the Hunchback of Notre Dame during the Topsy Turvy suequence they introduce last years king of ugly faces. In the back of the crowd when the "king" is being carried to the stage you can see Donald Duck. Look to the front of the "king" in the back of the crowd. It goes by very fast.

In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," Phoebus is hit in the back of his shoulder with an arrow as he escapes on Frollo's horse in chapter 24. Later on in chapter 27, Esmeralda cleans and sews up the wound...on his chest!
REPORTED: Locoboy 05 APR 98
You have to know how they removed arrows back in that time. If the
arrow or whatever was not over any vital organs, they would shove it all the
way through and break off the sharp end, then pull the rest of the arrow out
the way it came in. This would make her sewing up the front correct, but we
never do see her sew the back.
REPORTED: Tiffany 10 JUL 98
In "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," during chapter 24 Phoebus is hit with an arrow as he escapes on Frollo's horse and he falls off into a river with all his armor on. A moment later, Esmeralda jumps into the water to rescue him and she pulls him out from the water and suddenly he isn't wearing any armor!

The part of the movie where you can see
a remake of the Wizard of Oz is almost at the end; in that scene, you
can see Laverne, the lady gargoyle, sending pigeons to attack some
people that are trying to enter to the cathedral, which is just like the
witch sending the flying monkeys to attack Dorothy and her friends. I
think you can listen to the same music in both scenes.
REPORTED: Camilo Urbina 14 DEC 96
Where Laverne is
sending birds after the people attacking Notre Dame. She says exactly what the wicked witch said
and you can hear Wizard of Oz music in the background.
CONFIRMED: David Andrus 09 MAR 97
Some people have already noticed the little tribute to "The Wizard of Oz" in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" when Laverne summons the pigeons to attack the guards during the final fight scene at the end of the film. Parts of this scene also were a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds" and you can see the similarity to the classic horror film when the guards are running from the attacking pigeons. This fact was clearly stated by the film's directors Gary Trousdale and Kirk Wise and the film's producer Don Hahn on the second audio commentary track on the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" collector's edition laser disc boxed set.
REPORTED: Locoboy 05 APR 98
When Phoebus falls into the river after being shot with an arrow, Esmeralda jumps in to save him. From the point where she breaks through the water carrying him, the scene is animated exactly as the scene in which Ariel saves Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid, down to a sudden costume change for Phoebus. (When he falls from his horse he is wearing his blue and yellow outfit...when Esmeralda drags him to shore, he is wearing the same shirt Eric wore in Little Mermaid.) His head even lolls in the exact same position.
