We've clearly varying definitions, then, because if we decide to set the tone based purely on the opening, the rest of the movie (sans Frollo's scenes) is bizarrely contradictory to itself. The Game Changer alters the setting whenever they appear and may permanently change the setting, but the biggest defining point, for me at least, is how starkly they contrast the main tone of the film. Hunchback is still very much a Disney film.

And yes, Frollo murdering Quasimodo's mother throws the rest of the plot in motion, but the role of the GC or the KOC is not necessarily to create the conflict or even to set the tone, merely to spice it up and bring it to a darker level.
