The Hunchback of Notre Dame II is a 2002 American animated romantic musical comedy-drama film and direct-to-video sequel to the 1996 Disney animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It was produced by Walt Disney Animation Japan and Walt Disney Television Animation.
Unlike many Disney film sequels, almost the entire key cast of the first film returns, aside from Tony Jay, Mary Wickes, and David Ogden Stiers. Tony Jay had voiced Judge Claude Frollo in the original film. His character had died at the end of the first film, so there was no call for him to reprise the role. Mary Wickes had voiced Laverne the gargoyle in the original film, but died during the release of the first film. Laverne is voiced by Jane Withers in the sequel. David Ogden Stiers had voiced the Archdeacon in the original film. The redesigned character is instead voiced by Jim Cummings in the sequel.
The film is set in 1488, six years after the events of the original film and the death of Judge Claude Frollo. Captain Phoebus serves as Paris' Captain of the Guard under the new Minister of Justice. Phoebus and Esmeralda have married and become the parents of a six-year-old son named Zephyr. Quasimodo is now an accepted part of Parisian society; though he still lives in Notre Dame de Paris with his gargoyle friends Victor, Hugo, and Laverne. Quasimodo still serves as the cathedral's bell-ringer.
