It's the Disney film that introduced us to a timeless character, and...maybe some other things that weren't intended. What is the strange fascination people have with the film, and exactly HOW strange is it? Nostalgia Critic takes a look at Disney's Robin Hood.

This movie was a mixture of the Robin Hood myth with another: Reynard the Fox, a folk hero largely from French literature. He was a guile trickster, aided by the likes of Bruin the Bear, Chanticleer the Rooster, and Hermeline the Vixen. They aided Reynard against his adversaries: King Noble the Lion, Isengrim the Wolf, and Tybalt the Cat. Yes, that's where Tybalt Prince of Cats comes from in Romeo and Juliet. It's a reference to Reynard the Fox. Some characters are moved around a bit. In Reynard the Fox, the clergy are apes and monkeys, whereas Friar Tuck is a badger, though Reynard was aided by a badger too. The stories are so similar that it really does work quite nicely fusing the two together. Disney had tried to make a movie about Chaunticleer and Reynard that got scraped before this, so when they had the idea to do Robin Hood, they decided to merge the two stories together, giving us the iconic furry awakening we know and love today.
@jeremyroberts9065 10 ай бұрын
The key difference is that Renart/Reynard The Fox is a nasty bastard in most of his stories (in the original text at least) compared to the heroic Robin Hood. In fact, the lack of heroic qualities in Reynard was probably why Disney changed the film to a Robin Hood adaptation. 😅

Another Fun Fact: A few months before release, the Disney animators needed Sir Peter Ustinov to come back to the Disney Studios to re-record some of his lines as Prince John. The animators made phone calls to New York City, London, Paris, Vienna, and Tokyo, trying to locate Ustinov, only to discover that he was working at the NBC Studios in Burbank that week, a half-mile down the street from them.

The thing that I always loved about Robin and Marion (though I couldn't put it into words until a few years ago), is that when they meet up again, they are 100% in sync. I cannot think of another main movie couple where that happens; you know where they're not arguing over things or saying "you shouldn't put yourself in danger". They really do seem like soul mates. In fact, I always wanted a scene where Maid Marion is helping Robin plan the assault on the castle and she is just as into it and creative as he is. Maybe even throwing him off with how enthusiastically she's planning this, after all, he thought his life was too rough for a fine lady. "You're not worried about this or wishing I wouldn't go?" "Oh Robin, of course I'm worried. But I know the man I fell in love with."
@WaterCrane 10 ай бұрын
It is a shame because this was made during the time where Disney were really on a shoestring budget (hence the re-used animation cels from Snow White, The Jungle Book and The Aristocats). Granted, the alternative scene of Maid Marian nursing Robin back to health after the jailbreak, and getting saved from Prince John by the sudden reappearance of King Richard was probably a bit too much of a Deus Ex Machina.

I kept getting scenes from this and several earlier Disney movies confused and it was only later that I learned it was likely because they had reanimated some scenes from them. To be more precise, they had used some of the same reference films used for those films rather than having literally re-worked existing animation, which is what some articles imply.

I visited Nottingham castle almost annually, & posed with a statue of Robin Hood like he was going to shoot an arrow into my head. Nottingham itself is in the East Midlands of England & it takes 2 hours & 44 minutes to drive about 130 miles north west from London. Please come & visit Nottingham if you ever get the chance, especially you Doug!

I'd love to see you review Dumbo and 101 Dalmatians, not just because they were a big part of my childhood, but because both movies were made at critical points in Disney's history and basically saved the company at different times. Dumbo was made in 1941 on a tighter budget to recoup the financial losses of the three previous films (Bambi, Fantasia, Pinocchio) and was made in the midst of the Disney workers strike which saw drastic changes at the studio (Walt said he believed the family atmosphere of the studio was gone after that). Despite all this, Dumbo pretty much saved the studio from bankruptcy and was also a big hit with the critics and audiences. 101 Dalmatians came at a time when their was doubt animation would continue at Disney because of rising costs and the financial failure of Sleeping Beauty as well as the fact that the Disney brand had expanded into so many other things by the 50's and 60's. The Xerox process was fully utilized for the film to keep costs down and led to it being used for the next couple of decades, which was either a good or bad thing depending on your point of view, particularly since it meant the old ink and paint department was shutdown. Walt personally disliked the look of Dalmatians but accepted it was needed to save money.

The only two explanations I can give as to why there's fades to black in certain scenes is either a) An intermission where the audience can get up, refill their drinks and popcorn, or use the restroom until the intermission ends and the movie continues. b) This one's less likely, but I would imagine this is so the film can air on television with commercial breaks, though it could be a weird editing choice because I think Disney wasn't open to airing their films on TV until the late-70s, early 80s.

Clucky doing the football parody was the funniest part for me, as a kid. When Robin is submerged in the moat, that always made my tension rise. And Hiss yelling the king has gone 'stark raving mad' and the echo scared me. It has flaws, but its not a bad movie.

Another Fun Fact: In the late 1980s the Disney corporation had changed their mind about resisting the temptation to release their animation back catalog onto home video and decided to make this one of their first efforts to test the market. In 1989 this film was given a final theatrical re-release before being released onto VHS a few months later where it sold well, paving the way for the rest of the classic Disney animation to follow in the next few years.

I never noticed the weird edits as a Kid and I JUST realized WHY! I saw this on Public Broadcast. The slow fade outs are where they placed each AD break. They also used that old Disney Logo that took a few seconds to "write" onto the screen as it was fading out as well. I might be reaching a little but perhaps these edits were made with Public Broadcast in mind?

As an adult, I’d say that ‘Robin Hood’ (1973) is my personal favorite Disney Cartoon movie along with ‘The Lion King’ (1994).There’s just something about it that feels so old school yet timeless, and so adventurous and nostalgic. Don Bluth did an amazing job with the animation. Skippy The Rabbit (his animation, voice and facial expressions) reminds me a lot of: ‘Fievel Mousekewitz’ from: ‘An American Tail.’ (1986) There’s just many things in Robin Hood that are relatable now than I was a kid. Plus, Roger Millers voice is so iconic as Alan-a-Dale. He’s such a welcoming, nostalgic character. What else can I say? It’s a film that will always stick with me now. ❤️

And he was the only actor who was so hopeless driving the real race cars, they didn’t have him do any of his driving scenes, instead relying on Graham Hill wearing a fireproof balaclava. James Garner, on the other hand, was such a hotshoe that most of the actual Formula One drivers present agreed he could have made the grid if he chose racing as a career.

I always felt Prince of Thieves would have been better if Costner had relaxed a bit more throughout. He falls into his standard stoic character to easily.

Robin Hood needs to be a fun romp. The modern versions go a little to dark and "realistic". It's a LEGEND. Filmmakers need to embrace that.

Most of the animated films and cartoons I watched from my childhood only feature human characters and not talking animals, but I think 1973's Robin Hood was probably the only anthro film I knew back then. The film itself is also very charming, and I really loved Maid Marian. In fact, she was probably my first fiction furry crush when I was a kid.

I find it impressive that you referenced a lot of other cases in television history regarding anthropomorphic characters and I think this is the first time I've seen TUFF Puppy get referenced in a Nostalgia Critic video. TUFF Puppy to me is a very important series and probably my top pick for the best franchise involving anthropomorphic characters. I do plan on doing a retrospective on that show at some point to discuss how it has impacted me. It was also neat to see Mr. Wolf from The Bad Guys, Carmelita Fox from Sly Cooper, and Judy Hopps from Zootopia very briefly. Robin Hood was a childhood favorite of mine and I like how they chose to have the characters be animals rather than sticking to humans like they usually do in their adaptations. What is interesting is that this is the second video I found that mentioned Robin Hood originally planned to take place in the South since we had Song of the South a couple decades earlier, which is interesting because both movies have a cartoon fox and bear working together, except one pair are the villains of the movie and the other pair are the heroes. I am wondering if this was intentional on Disney's part where Robin Hood and Little John were a second attempt at making a cartoon fox and bear duo considering Brer Fox and Brer Bear's movie has some controversy.
