The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Plot hole: When Quasimodo is revealed to the crowd during the Festival of Fools, someone identifies him as "the bell-ringer from Notre Dame." This is the first time Quasimodo has ever left the cathedral, so he shouldn't know that.

Factual error: During the song "A Guy Like You," one of the gargoyles trips the trapdoor on Quasimodo's miniature hangman's scaffold. Trapdoors weren't used on scaffolds until the 18th century.

Question: I'm not of the Catholic religion so I have a question. During Frollo's fireplace song he sees those faceless people wearing the red cloaks and then on the wall there are shadows holding crosses and stuff like that. Are these any specific objects of the catholic religion or just your average devils and angels?

Answer: They are representations of good and evil.
