The Choice

Quasimodo must choose between the possibility of finding his long-lost parents and the reality of saving Esmeralda and Francois from certain death.

Angelica's friend Gaspard tells her that a couple matching the description of Quasimodo's parents have been spotted in the port city of Lujon waiting for a boat that is scheduled to depart for London in two days. Quasimodo rides with Francois and Esmeralda as far as he can before he heads off to Lujon on horseback. Esmeralda and Francois are on their way to entertain the King at his retreat.

While Quasimodo narrowly escapes a horrendous avalanche, Esmeralda and Francois become stranded at the bottom of a cliff after an accident befalls their coach.

Djali takes Esmeralda's locket from the unconscious young girl, and the brave goat gallops off looking for help. Djali locates Quasimodo just as he arrives in Lujon. From a distance, he can see the passengers filing onto a waiting boat. He knows that his parents may very well be among them. Seeing Esmeralda's locket in the goat's mouth, Quasimodo decides that something must be wrong. He realizes that he must save his friends, and he heads off at breakneck speed. With the coachman's help, Quasimodo is able to hoist Francois and Esmeralda from the coach just as it is swept down the rushing torrent, slamming into the rocky bottom of the rapids and splintering in pieces.
