While not shown on screen as a child, the interactions between Quasimodo and Frollo depict an adult child and his abusive parental figure.

Frollo lies to Quasimodo that his mother abandoned him, but as we see in the opening number it's to cover up that Frollo killed Quasimodo's mother.

Quasimodo is actively being abused by Frollo during the course of the film, as such he tries not to provoke him, but he never once forgives Frollo.

There are several attempts by the villain to burn people alive but they all get rescued. The entirety of Paris is burned so it is likely that some have been burned alive, but is never shown or adressed.

Phoebus is a soldier and presented as a good guy by the narrative, however it solidifies by him quitting his job/saving a family knowing it'd cause him to lose his job.

The movie takes place in a cathedral. Religion, the corruption of religion and people's relationship with it are major themes. There is alot of religious imagery and language. Several characters are depicted as praying (through song)as well having positions of religious authority. If catholicism/christianity are triggers for you, skip this one.

Not excessive or blatant because it's a Disney movie, but there are clear sexual themes (especially in the song Hellfire)
