Voiced by Paul Kandel, Clopin is more humorous than his original appearance. In this movie, he is given a mask and a hat with a feather on it, acting as a clown in public when not acting as leader to the lower class. He narrates the children about the life of Quasimodo and is later seen in the festival singing his song ("Topsy-Turvy"). Like in the book, Clopin leads both the Romani and french criminals of the city.

Clopin is seen as a beggar who is narrating about the opening song. He retains his original movie appearance in the Disney Hollywood Studios and Disney Cruise Line adoptions. Later, he is given his clown outfit during "Topsy-Turvy". He is less villainous than his movie appearance in the song "Dance of the Gypsies". His role in the finale is same in the Disney version.
