Thank you thank you thank you this my favorite Disney movie, well, one of my favorites, I know you just said The Land Before Time is coming tomorrow but after that one I have the perfect movie for you to do, The Guardian with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher it's so good especially the ending scene which makes me cry every time

@@AkiAkiAkimiki thanks but if you've never seen The Guardian you should, you won't be disappointed I swear

That movie traumatized me and I was in high school at the time.

Oh! I think we can expect a very emotional reaction.

@@AkiAkiAkimiki 🤔 Okay just cuz you havent heard of it doesnt mean other people havent. This might not be the most popular disney movie, but still a classic

Nothing is scarier than the anger of a gentle man.

Also, never mess with badgers, lol

First of all his patience got stretch before it just snapped. That man just took money out of the church's poor box. You NEVER do that! Enough was enough. I agree with Friar Tuck, GET OUT OF THE CHURCH! There's a saying "Spare the rod, spoil the child?" Well that Sheriff just got himself whooped with a big rod! For a little while. And second it's funny that Friar Tuck is a badger. Badgers are very vicious when it comes to protecting their dens.

@@sososlugg1423 I always loved the line, "GET OUTTA MY CHURCH!"

Easily my favorite scene in the movie. When Friar Tuck is angry enough to throw you out of church and physically attack you, you know you fucked up.

How fun :D

Wow! What a cool gift and payment. Putting a price on art is tricky, and imagine art as important as someone’s face! Wonderfull that such a great job was done!

That's an awesome story! What an honor 😄

That's so cool.

"Rob? We never rob. We just sort of borrow a bit from those that can afford it"

@@panzerwolf494 "Borrow? Boy are in debt."

That's a really nice way of putting it. 👏

Very common misconception with King Richard: He is not the good guy. He deserted his country and people to go and try to steal land from people because he followed ONE OF the religions that began there - and had his brother to tax the hell out of everyone to pay for it all (so of course it all stopped when he got back from his little bigots road trip).

Exactly. They recognized and paid their honest taxes to King Richard. The problem was that Prince John, The Sheriff of Nottingham, and Sir Hiss were unjustly raising taxes to plunder from the poor. They got rich at the common people's expense.

And to think that the alternate ending could have been more emotional

@@brendis16851 There was an alternate ending?

@@baffledbrandon3132 Yep, just check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n91lg7eZtMvJpJc.html

@@baffledbrandon3132Yes. Robin would have been wounded by an arrow and brought away by his friends. Then the prince, disguised, would have attempted to directly kill him with a dagger, only for his brother to intervene at the last minute.

Uh, no

Haha same! And don’t ask me why but when I was little I thought Robin Hood was gorgeous. HE WAS AN ANIMATED FOX. How did I find that attractive? 😂

Hey; when I imagine Captain Hook, I see Killian Jones.

This is the 1st version of"Robin Hood"I've ever seen.I was genuinely *shocked* when I saw a live action film and _he wasn't_ a fox!:-O (There's to notice the cartoon had been recored by my mum on a VHS but the 1st part was missing,so I had never seen the opening credit that explained every character was"played"by an animal,so I never knew they were actually _supposed_ to be humans!😅)

@@mangerinegirl same! I think his voice is a big part of it. Have you ever heard a hotter accent?

I never realised until now that he's voiced by Peter Ustinov. He's a great actor. I even loved his performances as Hercule Poirot.

@@dinodisneylover1 me too

@@dinodisneylover1 He was also the Old Man living above ground in Logan's Run. A great 70s flick.

I don't know where you are from (so this might be irrelevant), but they used this film in my UK history class to show how the animators used autapomorphic animals to portray the personalities of the characters. It was one of the most effective and fun lessons I ever had in school.

"almost like a Child"

As a kid I picked up on all of those moves from that dancing scene!! I thought I was the only one to see that!!

The funny thing is that the animators didn't like reusing animation, but someone higher up liked it, so they had to.

Thing is they still had to animate the characters over the animation. They just didn't have to work out motion because they had a reference. So it's like a 50% cheat. lol. But yeah, it's kinda crazy how much they took advantage of their own previous work in this film.

They were forced to reuse animation from previous films because of the small budget they had to work with, and I don’t care that it’s recycled animation, I still love that scene and this movie to this day, and it doesn’t change the fact that Robin Hood is still an amazing movie 😊 Edit: I almost missed it, and I’m sure most people have, but the scene of Sir Hiss hypnotizing Prince John is actually reused from Kaa hypnotizing Mowgli in The Jungle Book (came out in ‘67, Robin Hood came out in ‘73).

Is true, the Zootopia team (like director Byron Howard and producer Jennifer Lee) are big fans of this Robin Hood and told that the origins of Zootopia was conversations in Disney Animation Studios about a possible sequel or continuation of this movie

The only problem I see with the idea is that Robin Hood has talking birds and reptiles, while Zootopia is 100% mammalian

Exactly! About time someone calls attention to this.

Even the animators see it as lazy The good ones anyway This is one of the reasons Don Bluth left Disney They got lazy

I don’t have a problem with reusing animation in moderation. Disney was always about taking risks and attempting to do the best work in animation. His brother was always the money man, trying and failing to rein in his excesses, because he never wanted to be lazy when it came to his animations. Reusing some animation is great for other studios. Disney was always striving to be better than that. When Walt died, they slipped. That’s not to say that this film is bad, it’s just to say that the quality slipped, and it became a continuous trend going forward all the way until the Disney Renaissance.

also, i believe during that time period Disney were doing live action movies and thus all the budget went for them, leaving not so much for the animation studio so they had to find a way to make these ones work. i read this somewhere on the internet. so if i'm wrong, please enlighten the situation. Still hard work for the time tho. Respect to them

@@delphinebriand1554 I mean The live action movies really took off in the 60s and 70s So yeah I can see that contributing to it

Aaaand it’s mentioned a minute in, but I stand by what I said. Sorry to hear you didn’t care for it Nick. Nothing is for everyone.

Lady Cluck is my fav too. That scene you mentioned is still the funniest Disney scene for me hands down lol.

She just looked like a rugby (or american football, as you like) world champion, somehow ! XD

Release the royal fingers!!

One more *hiss* out of you, uhm, Hiss, and you are *walking* to Nottingham.

"SEIZE THE FAT ONE!"😂😂😂

All right, that does it--You heard him, Nick: We NEED the 1939 Errol Flynn version, right away, or more kids are going to grow up like this guy. ;)

@@ericjanssen394 The horror......😜😂

@@smokeyverton7981 Yeah, "Prince of Thieves" was pretty violent

The stories don't need to be serious. The tales are very much stories of keeping hope alive in bleak times and using whatever skills you have to help your struggling community. And I like them best when that is what's at the forefront instead of some edgy retelling about Robin getting revenge on prince John.

And the latter makes so many references to the former.

Bambi, he's got to watch Bambi.

@@DJ118USMC Oh yeah! "Bambi" is really nice too.

Funny how the animation style and voice acting is super similar.

Not that agree about it with the Aristocats, actually, even though it didn't look that bad visually speaking, but the story was just very bland...for the others mentioned, you're right, especially for Jungle Book and the Fox & the Hound which were beautiful all along both for stories and pictures quality (a little less for Jungle Book though, but still ok). Robin Hood and The Sword in the Stone were downright really good for such modest budgets and for Sleeping Beauty, well...the villain and the sidekicks pretty much saved the movie by themselves, I'd say...and the songs were quite "charming" too, dare I say (like the prince, of course XD) !

I’m an absolute fan of the classics

I love Evil under the Sun. It used to come on HBO when I was a kid

@@smokeyverton7981 It is such a great movie.

Phil Harris.

And the actress who does the voice of the Mother Rabbit also voices Lady from Lady and the Tramp, Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty, A Dalmatian puppy from 101 Dalmatians and Kanga from Winnie the Pooh.

Oh intresting. I do like to hear about diffrent countries dubs. So you say it is funny but not so bad it is funny? Is it clever funny? Would you mind telling me some examples?

@@Ahturos oh yes, I’m glad to! The dubbing is funny to me because it’s old compared to other Disney movies, but also the actors are so good because they didn’t take the job too seriously, so when they have to be goofy they go all out. An example is when Robin Hood and Little John dress up as fortune tellers, the Italian dub for little John gets so goofy when he talks as a woman and you can’t understand much of what he’s saying. Overall it’s all really good and kind of iconic, you can tell the actors had fun while dubbing the movie :)

Ach cool, das wusste ich gar nicht!

Cool.

Peter Ustinov is in so many of my favorite movies from childhood

oh, that's why the english voice sounds so familiar :D it's always so weird when you associate very distinct voices with certain (animated) characters, and once you grow older and watch those movies in english the voices get kinda detached from the character and feel kinda wrong. but maybe that's just my weird ass perception :D

oh wow didn’t know that! Crazy ! And I was just surprised how similar the German and English voice sounded

Hopy crap how did I never notice this!

Aw, that's adorable. I was like that with The Swan Princess when I was a kid.

@@faithhill5886 we're big fans of the Swan Princess too! 😁

@@robbinsnest6163 Sweet!

Me too! The Swan Princess was my favorite!

Would love to see his reaction to FANTASIA

I love Oliver and Company

Fantasia isn't really good to react to. No plot.

@@PikminandOatchi This KZfaqr did it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZl4a6-K3Ku6oIE.html

Thanks so much I’m so glad you enjoy them! And I love Billy he is so awesome!

Hey, no shame from that :D

You're not alone.

It's definitely my favorite Disney animation. I love so many, but this one is special because it's been with me for so long. And the music is gorgeous.

And Skippy is Judy Hops’ Ancestor Richard the Lionhearted is is Mayor Lion heart’s.

“Mama mama wait fo me!” She was always my favorite, too.

My dad tells me I sounded exactly like that when I was little, and I don't know how to feel about it.

the best one I know is Maid Marion's dancing being an exact copy of Duchess' dancing from Aristocats.

Actually, the animation lift was from Snow White.

I actually think it's cool that they reused animation tbh. They took Something they already had and put it to use in another form.

If you think about the fact he was from Nottingham though, 6'0 is tall, even now aha.

Agreed

Same here 😀

on that note, nick should definitely react to robin hood: men in tights.

@@mollyirene8979 LOL! You get it!

Well in fairness, the modern English accent wasn’t really a thing until the Victorian Era. So what spoke during the reign of King John/Richard wouldn’t be the same as they did in Queen Victoria’s reign or today.

@@brandonlyon730 I'm it for the aestethics

That's really interesting and I love that last sentence. 😂

I believe King John did eventually get excommunicated during his reign but for completely different reasons.

And while Disney wasn't proud of it, it still managed to touch people's hearts with very modest budget...how could they not being proud of it, retrospectively speaking ?

@@798jeremy Due to having to recycle and reuse many older assets. During the "Phony King of England" song, many of the dances were taken from other older properties, Aristocats in particular. During the big archery contest "football" scene, Lady Cluck was basically a football player from an old Disney sports cartoon (Go to the TV Tropes page for this movie, and under, I think, the trivia tag, it lists what was reused in what scene). In modern days, part of the shame is from having spawned a generation of furries. Making anthropomorphic animal characters tends to do that, and both Robin and Maid Marion had quite a few, let's call them fans. Disney knows they roll the dice with every animated film with humanoid animal characters (Zootopia had a few theaters bought out by furries, and the commercials certainly got a few people curious), and they not only know about Rule 34, they have a policy to collect what R34 content their own employees create, so they know very well how popular such movies tend to get among certain demographics. All in all, it's one of the less loved films for the company, even if it was a very good movie that the fans enjoy, whatever their reasons (for me it's the voice acting and the songs, as well as how funny it can be).

@@lordgenerias Well...here's another way to look over : A movie's value, like any other artistic content, always depends first on the targeted audience to begin with. Once it's been released, the creator(s) (whether if it came from one or several people) can keep saying whatever they like about it, it won't change anything anymore...because their product was send to consumers that are just free to approve it or not, with different shades, more or less, as usual, and there's nothing they can do about it. Once it's done, there's no possible rewinding for that. Let's say in term of reputation, in the very least. So in the end, even though it might be interesting to hear their opinion about their own product sometimes, but overall it just doesn't matter anyway. The audience's opinion about it, on the other hand, always prevails on it, whatever the creator's opinion might be. That's job risks...or business risks, and there's no business like show business, after all, 'right ? Just part of the game. You play it, or you don't. You win, you loose, you fair play or you cheat. That's the basics. EDIT : Besides this, no big deal, we can keep discussing about the reasons we like or dislike A topic or B topic, tastes can be discussed all day long, until it gets barbaric, which would be unfortunate and it's always a shame when it happens, isn't it ?

Me, I think it's when Friar Tuck shouts " Get out of my church ! " and I'm pretty sure he would win without the vulture intervention. It's funnier in the french version because his voice is deeper. Also, in France, Sire Hiss is voiced by thf same guy than Kaa

Lady Kluck is just a powerhouse

Almost forgot, the whistle stop melody in the beginning is the same as the hamster dance song

Aye that's my favorite one too can't forget that the guy who plays Snape from Harry Potter plays the Sheriff in it

Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe- Because it's dull, you twit! It'll hurt more!
