@tashikat9040 Жыл бұрын

@@RyoHazuki224 Lions were a symbol of royal power and authority for a long time, as they were considered regal, magestic, crowned with their fur and therefore a natural king. You'll note King John is a lion without a mane, implying he's a juvenile lion (which ties into the thumb sucking, mama crying, ear holding thing he does as well), whereas Richard is tall majestic with a regal mane. Richard is called the Lionhearted, aditionally, which further ties the royal family to the image of Lions without them needing to be native to British soil. The literary and thematic allusions are already there historically, and they can play with it for fun. And if they'd chosen a native animal for John, people would have gone "but what about the lion thing that's dumb he should be a lion". Secondly, John *did* in fact have to hire foreign mercenaries to try and reclaim his power when he was thrown out. So yes, showing Robin and his band as generally native forest animals of Britain, and the kings men as mostly foreign animals that do not exist in britain, is most likely an intentional reference like what 2wingo wrote.

It may not have the best animation nor the deepest story (it has those dark undertones), but it's the most fun in my opinion. Lady Cluck is one of my fav Disney chars. That 'football scene' always cracks me up. Like she's one of the few Disney female chars that is not afraid to fight and actually does. I just wish she and Marian were more involved in the 3rd act (and yes I have seen that deleted storyboard scene).

I remember hearing that Mr. Disney didn't particularly like the style because it was so obviously drawn, even being able to see the texture of the pencil marks sometimes. He thought it'd push people out of the illusion of it being real. I respect Mr. Disney for a lot of things, but he was very definitely wrong about that. If anything, it enhances the effect by making the animation look like a storybook come to life.

Out of all Disney's animated movies, I liked Robin Hood and Lady Marian as one of their best couples. I love that they don't meet, fall in love and get married all in this one movie. They have a long history established together even before the movie starts and I love that they're so funny, but it's not at the expense of each other, instead the comedy comes from how much they're both on the same page with one another. After this scene there's this big sword fight where they're just gushing over each other in the middle of it. Robin swinging a sword around: "I know we haven't seen each other in years, but let's get married!" Marian trying not to get hit: "This is the most romantic proposal ever! YES!" Robin: "We'll honeymoon all over Europe!" Marian: "YEAH! Let's have a dozen kids!" Robin: "ABSOLUTELY!"

So many distinctive voices. The gator Captain of the Guard with the really deep voice was done by an old radio personality named Candy Candido. His signature act was to do the voice of the sweetest little girl imaginable that suddenly drops down to the basement at the punchline. His usual catchphrase was "I'm feelin' mighty low." The two guards were mostly famous for their iconic roles on TV. One was known as Goober on the old Andy Griffith Show, the other was Festus on Gunsmoke. Phil Harris got his start on the radio as Jack Benny's bandleader. He had such a big, boisterous personality that it was natural to make him a big bear in this and the Jungle Book, but he was also the cat O'Malley in The Aristocats. Andy Devine (the friar) was a frequent character actor in old westerns, but he also showed up on the Benny radio show because of his distinctive voice. His most famous western was probably Stagecoach, along with John Wayne. Terry-Thomas (the snake Hiss) was often cast as a sneaky devil, the perfect "bounder" as they say in England. Film high points for him were It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines (where he's the main villain and gets what he deserves in the end). The actresses who played Marian and Lady Cluck had been paired before, as the Pigeon sisters dating Felix and Oscar in the Odd Couple, both the movie and TV series.

The narrator and the guy singing oo de lally (also wrote it) was Country music great Roger Miller (King of the Road), He also wrote the entire score for the Broadway show Big River.

As this version was the first version of the Robin Hood legend I encountered, it took me many years to appreciate adaptations of the story that had the characters as humans, rather than anthropomorphic animals! Also, not only was the music from the opening credits song later adapted into the "Hamster Dance", but the tune itself was a remix of an earlier Disney song, specifically the elephants' song from "Jungle Book". This version of Little John was not only similar to Baloo from that movie, but was voiced by the same actor, radio star Phil Harris. The choice to make King Richard and Prince John lions was a play on Richard's nickname "the Lionheart". Both were voiced by acting legend Peter Ustinov. Sir Hiss was voiced by British comedian Terry-Thomas, while the Sheriff of Nottingham was voiced by veteran Western actor Pat Buttram, who also voiced characters in other Disney films from that era, such as Luke the Muskrat in "The Rescuers" and Chief in "The Fox and the Hound".

A lot of people don't like this era of Disney animation for its "scratchy" lineart and retreaded designs and animations (Baloo:Little John, certain scenes are largely just traced over older animations, etc.) but I very much enjoy this look! This was one of "my" earliest Disney movies (the VHS was at my grandparents for all my cousins and my brother and me) and though I don't return to it often these days, it's always a pleasant trip whenever I do. Totally get what you mean by seeing a lot of the visuals as framable wall prints!

It's a shame the current home video releases of this film scrub the film within an inch of its life of grain. The film stock of this era wasn't as fine as the early or later stuff, so Disney opted to take a heavy hand to it rather than just let the grain exist as is natural for a movie shot on film. It just gets rid of so much of the detail and leaves a blurry mess in its place. I wish I could get my hands on a copy that's remastered but with an eye for preservation rather than trying to make it look like a modern film.

I’m glad you said this because this is easily my favorite Disney animation style. It’s so gritty, and all the scruffy fur feels just right. I wish cartoons could still be made in this style, both with the line-work and character designs. I never had a problem with Disney copying their characters and their movements because I feel that, at this point, they’d basically reached perfection.

@FlippytheMasterofPie Жыл бұрын

@@SyzygyNoon people also act like it’s a big deal that they reused animation as if someone didn’t still have to go back in and redraw every frame to have it match the character anyways. And this was before home video let people watch these movies back to back, too. It could be a decade before they put a particular movie back in theaters.

This was one of my son's favorites growing up. Little John looking so much like Baloo is not a fluke. In this era (because animation was so time consuming and expensive) Disney used a lot of repainted cells in different movies. For example, the scene in the beginning where Robin and John are dancing is a repainted version of Baloo and Mowgli from Jungle Book.

Robin Hood is voiced by British actor Brian Bedford. He was mostly a stage actor, was nominated 7 times for a Tony award (a record) and appeared in very few films. One notable movie that he was in was 'Grand Prix' (1966) in which he starred with James Garner.

Robin Hood didn't rob from the rich and give to the poor, he robbed from the corrupt government and gave it back to the people who were unjustly taxed. A small distinction, but one that changes the entire narrative. Love your reactions!

Wow. What a treat. My favorite movie reactor reacting to my favorite Disney movie. I saw this in the movie theater in 1973. I was 8 years old. And so fell in love with everything about it. At the movie theater they were selling record albums with the movie dialogue on it and a picture book insdie the covers. I begged my mom to get it for me and must have listened to it hundreds of times. I can still whistle the Minstrel's theme. And I still have the album. Oh...and yes, they do make Robin handsome and Marian pretty. I had a crush on her.

There’s a deleted scene near the ending that was possibly cut due to being too dark and intense to children. When Robin is in the water, he got shot by an arrow is carried away by Little John to the church where Maid Marian was hiding at, but they’re unaware that Prince John and Hiss were following them. When Little John leaves to get help, Prince John and Hiss enter the church, and just before the prince stabs the couple, King Richard busts through the door just in time to save them.

I look forward to watching this reaction. This is my all time favorite Disney movie! They used to re-release Disney movies every several years or so for new audiences so I got to see a lot of the older ones like Bambi and the Jungle Book but there's just something about a brand new Disney movie that adults couldn't tell you how good it was or whatever that made it feel like your own. Robin Hood came out when I was around 7 or 8 and since it was brand new it had all the merch in the stores. I remember getting a Robin Hood coloring book and a Robin Hood board game. It was such a wonderful time to be a kid! Looking back this movie also had just one of the best all around voice casts of any Disney movie. Even though I wasn't as familiar with names and faces, I knew I recognized a lot of the voice actors from TV shows and movies I had seen. I loved Terry Thomas as Sir Hiss and Peter Ustinov as Prince John. So many other great cast members in this but Phil Harris as Little John steals every scene he's in. Having Roger Miller do the songs and narrate as Alan A Dale was a stroke of genius as well. It was such an odd combination of old English plus modern (at that time) American country music mixed with typical Disney cute animals. What's not to like?

I am born and raised in Otrlando, FL. When I was in college as a Theater major I got hired by Disney World to be costumed characters in the Magic Kingdom park.. Robin Hood was the most recent animated film and I was the right height to portray the Sheriff of Nottingham and Friar Tuck. I was a good height for a lot of other characters as well, but I played those characters a lot. Disney likes the performers to say "I'm friends with Friar Tuck", Boy those costumes were hot.
