Unfortunately, this movie frankly shouldn't have even been made for kids, as no matter how you slice it, it was still not kid-friendly material. Not to mention, even with separating Frollo and the Archdeacon into two different characters, it still seemed to be heavy on anti-Christian agendas (which is one of the complaints about the film). I doubt God would be very happy that a gargoyle inside his house (Hugo) is practicing homosexuality/bestiality (which God even specifically labeled as an abomination in Leviticus) with Djali, a male goat. And expanding Frollo into being the main villain and pure evil was also a very bad move, not to mention they didn't even do it right (if they're going to make him pure evil, the least they can do is have him do things similarly to Phillipe w:c:EternalDarkness:Pious Augustus:Augustine, where he basically was a knowing devil-worshipper posing as a man of God. Even in the film, despite the writers intentions, Frollo still came across as genuinely wishing to promote Christianity and doing good-will, and being loyal to God.).

I also found it a huge mistake for them to effectively make Phoebus into what is essentially the Disney equivalent of Final Fantasy VI's General Leo, especially when in the original book, he was actually closer to Gaston in terms of behavior, and even his "cruel fate" of marriage was still him effectively getting away with his actions. Actually, no, I'll amend that, Book Phoebus was even worse than Gaston, movie and comics Gaston, at least. At least Gaston was decent enough to not sleep with the female populace even though he knows full well he is capable of doing so if he so wanted, and only focus on Belle in the original film, and wasn't known to be a womanizer at all in the film, heck, even somewhat loyal to Belle while still somewhat of a jerk towards her, while Phoebus basically abandoned Esmerelda to her fate, and basically manipulated her, and was implied to have constantly slept around in Paris, a womanizing scumbag all in all.
