Esmeralda has captivated audiences for hundreds of years beginning with her original portrayal in Victor Hugo’s original story The Hunchback of Notre Dame. She was so popular in fact, early adaptations of the novel to opera and ballet were actually just called La Esmeralda; yeah forget Quasimodo, people loved Esmeralda and I do agree she is fascinating. The more I found out about Esmeralda’s past, parents and who she was created to be, the more interesting and complex she became.
I post every Tuesday and Thursday, so check back then for more Disney, Pixar, Harry Potter, Star Wars and movie videos! If you have any questions about the Disney universe that you would want answered in a video, please ask away in the comment section!

Do you think Esmeralda should be a Disney Princess? Let me know below! Also, if you would like to get some Wotso Videos merchandise to support the channel check out

[@kathrynvincent1563]

I think it was good for Quasimodo to realize falling in love isn't always the answer and that no one has the right to demand love from another, like Frollo was doing. In the end, he received what he deeply craved, social acceptance.

[@NinjaGirlSakura1]

Esmerelda spitting in Frollo's face is one of the most b.a things any disney lady has ever done,and I love her for it! I think she should be added back in as a disney princess,and we could certainly use more merch of her.

[@joshualowe5800]

Esmeralda was a stronger female Disney character than most Disney Princesses.

[@ddoubleu170]

I wanted to be Esmeralda sooooo bad when I was a little girl! ♥️ The fact she was animated in that beautiful tint of brown. That alone positively impacted so many Brown and Black girls and fostered our love for Disney.

[@syd5242]

Esmeralda has to be a disney princess! She shows an act of heroism, is not introduced in a sequel, (looking at you melody...) and is human!!!!!

[@greninjastorm6734]

The family Phoebus saved wasn't actually a gypsy family, they were just accused of being so, as they sheltered them. He saved them because he refused to burn the house as he was told to, knowing the family to be innocent.

[@daniellemusella1594]

Esmeralda is one of the reasons I prefer to call the women in Disney films "heroines" instead of "princesses". Many of the company's strong female characters never actually become royalty, or they're never openly acknowledged as such, but that doesn't mean they're not worthy of being looked up to.

[@Jassiepoohbear]

Esmeralda should most definitely be a Disney princess. She may not come from nobility but she has all the qualities of a princess and her people look to her as a leader, that's gotta count for something. Mulan technically isn't a princess either though they consider her to be because she earned that title through her heroics and I think Esmeralda should get the same.

[@rshdbrwn]

No she shouldn’t be a princess. She should be a Queen.

[@rikuwisteria583]

Yes, her and Mulan. Even though they are not technically princesses by title.

[@xHannaHx33]

ESMERALDA SHOULD BE A DISNEY PRINCESS!

[@chuck0y]

Frollo sniffs Esmerelda's hair

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

Thank goodness Esmeralda got chosen. I love this movie!

[@Saiainochan]

Hunchback of Notre Dame doesn’t get the praise it deserves

[@hannahskeldon7944]

That is something I noticed by the mid-90's I think that Disney started making their female leads strong and independent. Frollo is one of the evilest villains Disney ever came up with and Tony Jay was the perfect voice actor for Frollo. I believe Esmerelda was the first Disney female to be a strong and Independent woman.

[@sophiabray5485]

Frolo: so no head?

[@asianaxeprincess]

"Heaven's Light" reflected Quasimodo's love for Esmeralda, which was pure.

[@playtime3191]

Me: Disney, you speak of justice, yet you are cruel to those who weren't a Box office hit!

[@stephanielynn1467]

Esmeralda should totally STILL be a Disney Princess! I feel that she would be a much better role model than a few of the original princesses and she is just such a strong character! Love all your videos, Isaac, and I'm always excited to see what you come up with! Thanks for keeping our days magical!
