Tom and Jerry Meet the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Tom and Jerry Meet the Hunchback of Notre Dame is a Warner Bros movie based on the novel by Victor Hugo
== Plot ==
The movie opens in 16th Century Paris with Clopin, a Gypsy puppeteer, telling a group of children the story of the Hunchback of Notre Dame. The story begins in 1482 as three gypsies sneak illegally into Paris but are ambushed by a squadron of soldier-like thugs working for Judge Claude Frollo, the Minister of Justice and de facto ruler of Paris and his pet cat named Tom. A gypsy woman attempts to flee with her baby, but Frollo and Tom, thinking the woman is carrying stolen goods, catches and kills her just outside Notre Dame, intending to kill her deformed baby (Frollo says to the Archdeacon that the baby is "an unholy demon" and that he is "sending it back to hell where it belongs"), but the Archdeacon appears and accuses him of murdering an innocent woman. Frollo and Tom denies that he is in the wrong saying his conscience is clear, but the Archdeacon declares he can lie to himself all he wants, but he cannot hide his crime from heaven ('the eyes of Notre Dame', the statues of the saints outside the cathedral). Fearing for his soul and to atone for his sin, Frollo reluctantly agrees to raise the deformed child in the Cathedral's bell tower as his son, naming him Quasimodo. He notes that someday the child may have use for him. 
Twenty years later in 1502, Quasimodo has developed into a kind yet isolated young man with three gargoyles as his only company, constantly told by Frollo that he is a monster who would be rejected by the uncaring outside world. Despite these warnings, Quasimodo sneaks out of the Cathedral to attend the Feast of Fools, where he is crowned King of Fools but immediately humiliated by the crowd when Frollo and Tom's thugs start a riot. Frollo, in the audience, refuses to help Quasimodo, and the crowd only stops when a kind and beautiful gypsy Esmeralda and his cute mouse friend named Jerry frees Quasimodo from his restraints and openly defies Frollo and Tom. She then throws the crown at Frollo and Tom, deeming him to be the biggest fool. The judge immediately orders them arrested, but she escapes by means of illusions, which Frollo refers to as "witchcraft." Frollo and Tom confronts Quasimodo and sends him back inside the Cathedral.
Esmeralda and Jerry follows Quasimodo to find him, but they themselves is followed by Phoebus, Frollo's Captain of the Guard. Phoebus, who himself does not approve of Frollo's methods, refuses to arrest her inside the Cathedral, saying that they has claimed 'Sanctuary' and thus cannot be arrested as long as she remains in Notre Dame. Frollo finally leaves when the Archdeacon intervenes, but not before warning Esmeralda and Jerry that his men will capture them the moment they attempts to escape the Cathedral. Esmeralda and Jerry finds Quasimodo in the bell tower and befriends him. As gratitude for helping him in the crowd, Quasimodo helps Esmeralda and Jerry escape Notre Dame. In return, they leaves him with a map to the gypsy hideout, the Court of Miracles, should he ever choose to leave Notre Dame again. Frollo and Tom themselves begins to realize his lustful feelings for Esmeralda and Jerry and wishes to be free of them to escape eternal damnation. He soon learns of Esmeralda and Jerry's escape and instigates a city-wide manhunt for them, which involves burning down countless houses in his path.
Realizing that Frollo and Tom has lost their mind, Phoebus defies the judge and the cat by saving an innocent family, as Frollo and Tom orders him executed for treason but is assisted in escape by Esmeralda and Jerry. After being hit by an arrow, Phoebus falls into the Seine River and is left for dead by Frollo, but he is rescued by Esmeralda and Jerry, who takes him to Quasimodo for refuge.
Frollo and Tom soon returns to the cathedral, forcing Quasimodo to hide Phoebus. Discovering that Quasimodo helped Esmeralda escape, the judge and the cat bluffs that he knows where the Court of Miracles is and intends to attack it at dawn with a battalion. After they leaves, Phoebus requests Quasimodo's help in finding the Court before Frollo and Tom. Though reluctant, he agrees to join. Using the map Esmeralda and Jerry left, they find it and are almost hung by Clopin for being spies, but they are saved when Esmeralda and Jerry intervenes and clears up the misunderstanding. Phoebus tries to get the court to retreat as Frollo and Tom plans to invade; however, Frollo and Tom's army appears and captures them all, with the judge revealing that he followed Phoebus and Quasimodo.
Frollo and Tom then orders Esmeralda burned at the stake after they refuses his proposal of they becoming his mistress. Frollo gets a torch and burns the wheat Esmeralda is standing on, and she starts coughing, and then she goes unconscious. Quasimodo and Jerry, chained up in the bell tower, initially refuses to help under depression, but when they sees Esmeralda in pain, he gives in to their anger and rescues her, bringing her to the cathedral and yelling "Sanctuary." As Frollo and Tom grabs the swords and orders their men to attack the cathedral, Phoebus ignites a rebellion among the people of Paris who have had enough of Frollo and Tom's tyranny, and a battle ensues in the street between the citizenry and Frollo and Tom's thug army. Quasimodo and Jerry places Esmeralda's unconscious body on a bed and pours a cauldron of molten copper onto the streets to ensure nobody gets inside. Frollo and Tom, however, manages to break in and force his way past the Archdeacon. Quasimodo and Jerry, believing Esmeralda to be dead, breaks down in tears beside her body as Frollo and Tom comes into the room to kill them with their daggers. Quasimodo and Jerry, in their fury, disarms his former guardian and the cat and tearfully tells Frollo and Tom that people like them are the only reason the world is so "dark and cruel". Esmeralda wakes up alive, and Quasimodo and Jerry grabs her and flees. The deranged judge and the cat chases them onto the balcony, where he attacks Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Jerry with their swords. The battle ends with Frollo and Tom maniacally quoting the Bible, and him and Quasimodo both falling from the balcony. After Frollo and Tom falls to their death, Quasimodo also falls but is caught by Phoebus on a lower floor, and the four friends reunite.
As the citizens celebrate their victory over Frollo and Tom, Quasimodo reluctantly emerges from the Cathedral to face the populace again, only this time, he is hailed as a hero and is finally accepted into society while Jerry falls in love with his beautiful young female mouse named Cherie.
A brief post-credits scene sees Hugo enthusiastically wishing everyone a good night.
