Disenchanted L U L L A B Y ~[Quasimodo & Ariel]~

*Video: Disenchanted L U L L A B Y ~[Quasimodo & Ariel]~
*Song: Change My Name
*Artist: Trading Yesterday
*Clips: The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney); The Little Mermaid
*Story: An "alternate ending" to the Hunchback movie, if you will. Inspired by the ending of the German musical counterpart of the Disney film, called Der Glockner Von Notre Dame. Check it out, it's awsome.
The night of the battle of Notre Dame, Quasimodo saved Esmeralda from the stake, but he was still too late. Esmeralda is now dead (for real), and though Frollo is gone and Quasimodo is free, he cannot be happy. He mourns Esmeralda's death and continues to hide up in the bell tower. Many times he hears Esmeralda's voice ringing out through the church, and Quasimodo grows hopeful until she realizes it's just his desperate and traumatized imagination.
After many months, Quasimodo has driven himself to the edge of madness with his grief. He can't take hiding up in the bell tower anymore, but he's still very much afraid to venture into the real world without his dear friend beside him. But Esmeralda wouldn't have wanted him to be upset and hide for the rest of his life, Quasimodo realizes. He decides to take a chance and venture into the city, and not have Esmeralda's hopes and kindness towards him be in vain.
On the day Quasimodo goes out, he sees a young girl dancing in the street. She looks and dances nothing like Esmeralda did, but Quasimodo is drawn to the innocent and kind smile on her face. Unexpectedly, the woman (Ariel) notices him as well. At first Quasimodo is very shy, but Ariel just smiles at him playfully, drawing him out of his shell. He asks her why she isn't replused by his uglness, but she simply taps her throat, and Quasimodo realizes that she cannot speak. They are both outcasts.
Things go well with the two of them, until one day Quasimodo gets angry at himself for "forgetting" about Esmeralda in his happiness, and accidentaly takes his frusterations out on Ariel. She runs out of the belltower crying, and Quasimodo feels terrible. He spends many hours mulling over his emotions for both Esmeralda and Ariel - he's afraid that if he loves Ariel, it would be like betraying Esmeralda. But he finally comes to terms with the fact that Esmeralda only would have wanted Quasimodo to be happy, and he finally realizes his true feelings for Ariel.
*ENDING - SPOILERS!*
But once again he is too late. Phoebus comes and tells Quasimodo that he saw Ariel dive into the water, and even though he went in after her, she didn't re-surface.
Quasimodo is distraught, guilty and worried that what he told her might have caused her to kill herself. But Ariel returns, and they both finally admit their love for each other (Ariel has somehow regained her powers of speach). For the first time in a long time, Quasimodo is happy, with love in his heart and the spirit of Esmeralda evermore by his side.
*Notes: None.
Woooow. First full-length video in...um...ever. And I've been working on this one for a mighty long time. I'm pretty happy with my "storytelling" in this, and even though some of the manips are TERRIBLE, I'm pretty damn pleased with how this turned out. I hope you all like it!
I'm thinking of making a "sister video" to this one, with the same story but in Ariel's point of view, since she only arrives halfway through this video. This video is more about Quasimodo's character development then their romance. What do you guys think?
Oh, and I'm in love with this couple. Like wut :3 I should stop pairing up Quasimodo with the girls, but let's be honest here - does the man get nearly enough crossover love? No, my dearies, he does not.
Anyway, please rate, comment and enjoy!
