The trio is first seen when Quasi is depressingly watching the Festival of Fools. Being that Quasimodo was forced to live and stay in the bell tower where they reside, they revealed to him their ability and befriend him for twenty years. The gargoyles are part of the Notre Dame cathedral's architect who has the odd ability to come to life at will. Victor, Hugo, and Laverne in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Despite this, the flock continues to annoy her final scene in the film, causing her to angrily yell, 'Don't you ever migrate?!' During the climax, she manages to tame them, and uses them as a defense mechanism against Frollo's soldiers, sending them into battle with the words 'Fly, my pretties! Fly, fly!' like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz.

Even so, she can also be fiery, and is quick to insult or scold Hugo and Victor for their incompetence an example of this being her jab to Hugo, calling him the 'stupid, fat one with the big mouth' of the group.Ī running gag involves Laverne being pestered by a flock of pigeons, who seek to use her as a resting post. With this, she can be both comforting and a needed voice of reason, as well as being a rational handler of situations, while Hugo and Victor tend to approach things with more comedic or over-the-top sensibilities. With her age comes wisdom, which she uses to regularly advise and guide Quasimodo through life.

Laverne (voiced by the late Mary Wickes in the original (since she died in late 1995 after filming), the late Jane Withers in the sequel, and Patricia Lentz in Kingdom Hearts 3D) is the most competent of the gargoyles and acts as a wise mother figure towards Quasimodo.

This is given closure in the sequel, where Djali apparently returns Hugo's affections, and a relationship is implied to have blossomed. Hugo has a strange fascination with Esmeralda's goat, Djali-harboring romantic feelings for the latter and evidently finding him to be highly attractive. He is also a lover of all things entertainment, romance, and action, especially when it comes to the Festival of Fools. He also tends to be the most optimistic, as he was relatively calm during Frollo's massacre upon Paris in his search for Esmeralda, believing the gypsy to be too intelligent to fall into the hands of Frollo's tyranny. Like Laverne and Victor, he is an avid supporter of Quasimodo and is often the first to suggest disobeying Frollo's orders if it means granting Quasimodo some form of happiness, showing a side of mischief and recklessness. Hugo always has his mouth open when he is in his nonliving statue form which encourages birds to nest in his mouth which he always spits out. Hugo (voiced by Jason Alexander) is the most comical and flamboyant of the three gargoyles.
