The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Continuity mistake: During the introduction to Phoebus and Esmeralda, the goat drops a bunch of coins, all through the scene there are no coins on the ground, the coins reappear for Phoebus to through them to Esmeralda (in her old man disguise). (00:17:20 - 00:18:35)

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Quasimodo is reciting his alphabet to Frollo, we see Frollo pick up his goblet for a drink when he says "D?" By "E?", he still has the goblet in his hand. After saying "F?" he raises the goblet and takes a drink. When the camera pans back to Quasimodo saying "Festival", the goblet is in clear sight even when we hear Frollo spit out his drink.

Continuity mistake: During the song "Hellfire," Frollo pulls out Esmeralda's ribbon and you see him holding it throughout the song. When the monks in the red cloaks appear, the ribbon is gone to appear again moments later. Then when the soldier walks into the room, the ribbon has disappeared for a second time, then when he leaves, it is in plain sight in Frollo's hand again.

Factual error: The statues outside of Notre Dame Cathedral are shown as plain stone, as they appear in modern times, although in the story's period (the fifteenth century) they were polychromed.

Frollo: And look what else I've caught in my net. Captain Phoebus, back from the dead. Another "miracle", no doubt. I shall remedy that.

Trivia: When Quasimodo is singing a few minutes into the film, he is standing above the town street where people are walking around, doing business. If you look closely to the lower right of the scene, you can see Belle from "Beauty and the Beast" reading a book in her blue dress, walking.

Question: I'm not of the Catholic religion so I have a question. During Frollo's fireplace song he sees those faceless people wearing the red cloaks and then on the wall there are shadows holding crosses and stuff like that. Are these any specific objects of the catholic religion or just your average devils and angels?

Answer: They are representations of good and evil.
