Villain Therapy: FROLLO from The Hunchback of Notre Dame

How does spiritual abuse affect yourself and your spirituality? Is this the darkest, not-kid-friendly animated Disney movie?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright dive into the villainy of Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Frollo is one of the worst characters ever (one of the best villains ever?) because of his abuse, predatory behavior, and self-righteousness. They discuss how Frollo’s spirituality is tied to his own perceived righteousness and goodness and how he blames others to absolve his conscience. Meanwhile, a non-Christian character demonstrates the true virtues of faith. Jonathan defines spiritual and religious abuse, and operant conditioning, while Alan explains why the gargoyles don’t make sense and why this movie isn’t for kids!
