Victor, Hugo, and Laverne first appeared in Disney's 1996 film ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''. They are the only major characters who never appeared in Victor Hugo's original 1831 novel. Obviously, Victor and Hugo's names are a reference to the author himself, while Laverne is named after {{w|Laverne Andrews}} of {{w|The Andrews Sisters}}. In the film, Victor is voiced by the late {{w|Charles Kimbrough}}, Hugo by {{w|Jason Alexander}}, and Laverne by the late {{w|Mary Wickes}}, who died during production, with the late {{w|Jane Withers}} providing her remaining lines. | Victor, Hugo, and Laverne first appeared in Disney's 1996 film ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''.

In the film, the three gargoyles serve as Quasimodo's friends and guardians during his time growing up inside the attics of Notre Dame | In the film, the three gargoyles serve as Quasimodo's friends and guardians during his time growing up inside the attics of Notre Dame, although whether or not they are truly alive is often questioned, demonstrated when they only come to life when alone with Quasimodo and how Frollo appears not to know about them being alive. Throughout the film, they mostly provide comic relief, but also appear to advise Quasimodo on his relationship with [[Esmeralda]], and even when Esmeralda falls in love with [[Phoebus]] instead, they still persuade him to rebel against Frollo and help the gypsies against his tyranny. During Esmeralda's execution, they do their best to implore Quasimodo to continue fighting, but he refuses to listen, although he eventually goes through with it after hearing Frollo's hypocritical speech. During the final battle, they aid Quasimodo in tossing weapons from the balconies to stop Frollo's soldier-like thugs from getting inside the cathedral. | ||
