Not OP, but:

Frollo frightens me more than any other Disney villain because I've personally known people who the only thing keeping them from becoming a Frollo was their lack of secular power.

These people wouldn't have bothered going after anyone based on race, but they actively went after anyone in their church who disagreed with them doctrinally or in terms of lifestyle. I don't mean anything as significant as sexual orientation when I say lifestyle. It was things as simple and stupid as a woman wearing earrings that were "too long and therefore a bad influence on the young girls."

Of course, merely asking questions about any theological issue these people had decreed mandatory to agree with got you tagged a rebellious troublemaker. These people believed that their own preferences and prejudices were exactly what God wanted, and that they were right to punish anyone who stepped out of line and make them obey. I've heard people say they find other Disney villains scary because they're plausible. Frollo is the most plausible of all to me because I know what it's like to be in such a person's crosshairs.

Thank you so much, anon!! ♡

For the secret: I was thinking about this just recently, OP! That entire film scared me as a kid, but it scares me more as an adult getting to know what Frollo is all about. My brother and I watched the movie for the first time in over a decade last week and I was pretty shocked at his character. I've seen him in real life before.
