I watched "The Adventures of Robin Hood" as well for Hoodie Week, but it's a Patreon exclusive at the moment. If we can get 10,000 likes on this video I'll upload a CZcams version of the 1938 classic!!
Challenge accepted!
It's not technically Robin Hood but it's similar and whimsical. You should check out The Court Jester! If you didn't like it I'd be shocked. And I think you'd be the first reactor to do it.
When I got the notification for "Robin Hood", I was hoping it was the Errol Flynn version.
I would recommend doing a reaction to the Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) if you haven’t seen it already. It is an instant favorite if you like animals like rhinos and elephants, and it shows how these animals need to be protected from poachers.
Have you seen it before?
Did you already check out Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves? True, Costner uses an American accent, but it's really good.
"He is handsome and he's a cartoon animal. I'm into it." Girl, you're not the only one :)
Popcorn just might be a Furry! :3
CUTE!! 😁
Just pause this video at 18:27 and try to honestly say that gaze does not make you melt.
I would’ve said that as more of a compliment to whoever designed Robin.
No but seriously that was one good looking fox. Lol and that charisma and charm ❤
One thing nobody mentions: Prince John's cadre of bodyguards is composed of hippos, rhinos, crocodiles, and other animals that are not native to England, suggesting that he is so hated by his own people that he has to hire foreign mercenaries.
Nobody mentions it because it is a bloody cartoon and irrelevant.
I mean, neither are Lions, but how often was the symbol of the lion used by Lord's and Kings throughout Europe?
@@RyoHazuki224 There were lions native to the British Isles. I'm not sure if they were STILL there by 1200 AD or whenever this is, but it's possible.
@@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.
The last native lions in the british isles died out over forty millenia ago, so I don't think it's that.
The voice acting in these old disney movies is the best, rarely do you find such legendary voice acting
we don't have legendary actors anymore
do a George Clooney impression.
Idk why but the line “traitors to the crown?! That crown belongs to King Richard!” Has always given me chills
Just know that Richard paid priests to pray for him because he was killing so many people and the reason behind the high taxes was due to Richard getting captured and John getting funds to pay the ransom.
The phrase, "King's ransom." Came from this.
Also when Richard came back he was king for a few months before he died and John officially took over.
Probably how Robin says it without any fear despite about to be executed
Friar Tuck finally having enough of the Sheriff’s BS is probably one of my favorite moments. Even though it ends on a grim note, it’s perfect for showing the start of the true revolution.
It's interesting to note he would win without the vulture intervention
@@a.g.demada5263 I agree that Tuck very well might have won, if Trigger hadn’t intervened.
The voices of Prince John and Sir Hiss - Peter Ustinov and Terry Thomas - are probably one of the finest marriages of performance and character in the Disney canon. Ustinov's thumb sucking and the way he says "Stop hissing in my ear!" always crack me up.
They were a great pairing but I think that particular crown belongs to Napoleon (Pat Buttram) and Lafayette (George Lindsey) from The Aristocats. About as fine a pairing as RC Cola and Moon Pies (original, of course).
Peter Ustinov also performed Prince John in the german dub. He's just as good there.
Some of the greatest voices from the past. This movie is definitely a Disney classic.
The reason that Little John sounded like Baloo the Bear was that both were voiced by the great Phil Harris.
Fantastic comedian, band leader and singer.
He was also O’Malley in The Aristocats….
@@osmanyousif7849 O'Malley the alley cat!
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!"
That reminds me: Cassie might like the 1950's film "Cheaper by the Dozen"
As someone who was introduced to this as a kid, I agree with you, but I also have a soft spot for Max Goof and Roxanne, who just kind of disappeared off the face of the earth and was never mentioned again after A Goofy Movie except for one tiny short where they go on a date that Goofy of course crashes.
I wanna see THAT movie. 🤣
sorry gonna be that person... Marian says "Yes, but you could have picked a more romantic setting!"...... sorry......
Seriously, these two are such couple goals
This has long been my favorite animated Disney movie. Highly underrated.
It's my fav Disney movie too! I am glad I am not the only one to feel that way. I have surprised a few people because I didn't name a Renaissance, a Walt Disney created one, or even one of the more recent ones. 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).
@@Zodia195 I agree. The whole battle after the archery tournament is absolutely hilarious.
Don Bluth had a unique animating style. His artistry was wonderful. He released several of his own features independently. You can always spot a Don Bluth creation!
I remember him mostly from the Dragon's Lair and Space Ace video games in the mid 80s.
@@paulp9274 don’t forget
All Dogs Go to Heaven
Rock A Doodle
The Pebble and the Penguin
Thumbelina
A Troll in Central Park
The Land Before time
An American Tail
The Secret of NIMH
these are my favorite movies and i have each of those movies
He’s responsible for being a big competitor of Disney when he did his own thing and it got Disney’s act together going into 90s.
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.
Don Bluth is a hero of mine. His children’s films consider a child’s age but don’t wrap them in bubble wrap. American Tale, Anastasia, secret of Nihm, land before time… Only Hunchback of Notre Dame and maybe Lion King have come close. New Disney certainly doesn’t beat it.
"he's kind of handsome, he's a cartoon animal, but I'm into it..." Well, my Dear Cassie, there is an entire community on the internet for that sort of thing.
Marion is such a FOX!
This was my favorite Disney movie as a kid. Even the bad guys are likable and funny. Poor Sir Hiss 😂
Lol I know. He’s certainly smarter than Prince John and he gets abused for doing his job
Mine too. I'm from Germany and I absolutely adored the dubbed version we have here, believe it or not, those were also all iconic voices here in Germany. Funny thing that the guy who dubbed Little John (Edgar Ott, a dubbing legend in Germany) was also the one who dubbed Baloo in The Jungle Book (just like he was spoken by the same guy in English, right ?). And Prince John was actually dubbed by Peter Ustinov who also spoke him in the original movie.
I actually owned the vinyl record of this and played it over and over that much that I knew each line in it.
One of my favorites, too! Don Bluth's animation is so good and the story is so fun.
@@Reani71 "Robin Hood und Little John geh'n im Wald spazieren und sie lachen und sind fröhlich, weil jeder das gern maaag."
@@Nemshee Robin Hood und Little John geh'n im Wald spazieren, oodelaly, oodelaly, welch ein schöner Tag.
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.
Some really good actors doing voices here. Brian Bedford as Robin. British actor who did mostly stage work and nominated for 7 Tony awards. Monica Evans as Marion. British actress who was in The Odd Couple for it's entire run as one of the Pigeon sisters who were the guys neighbors. She also reprised the role in the film version. 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.
My dad took me and my brothers to see this at a theater which was built in the 1880's and used primarily for stage performances. I can still remember the opulent seating and the smell of the theater. So every time I see this movie it gives me feelings of nostalgia and great memories from my childhood.
This is one of my wife's favorite movies from her childhood. I bought her a production animation cel from this movie a couple years after we were married. It's amazing to see the actual artwork that was shot and became one frame of a timeless movie.
So thoughtful! Your wife is a lucky girl.
It's one of my favorites as well. I must have watched this, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast hundreds of times when I was a kid
What is the image?
It was this and “The Sword in the Stone” that my sister and I watched so often as kids. From this era of animation anyway. Those were good times, and good memories.
It also was part of the reason I got into the Redwall series in my youth. I made the connection of medieval animals and was hooked. If you liked this I wonder how you’d like the Redwall animated series.
For sure. Read all the Redwall books as well. Ever read Watership Down? Darker animal book, really great book and animated movie.
My brother and I would watch Sword in the Stone all the time!
Same!!! Just showed my kids sword and the stone last Friday Robing is my favorite, but really it’s this “whimsical” animation that I love so much.
Those were my two favorites as well, surprising they were made 10 years apart
I grew up with both but only one animal relationship has always bothered me, I mean let's get real, Arthur fell in love with an actual squirrel and I always thought that was...strange.
It's something else to see a wholesome lady watch a nostalgic wholesome movie. Keep on warming hearts Cassie!
Nostalgic and wholesome? LOL Let's someone try to get her a bootleg copy of "Song Of The South". Now I wonder why you don't hear about that one too much anymore...?
I remember my dad took me to see this movie in the theater when I was six. It's one of my favorite Disney movies. He used to take me to lots of movies. Last week was the 7th anniversary of his death. I really wish I could go to the movies with him again.
What wonderful memories!
it is good to have memoeries like that. Even if they hurt, they are the most precious things our loved ones gift to us, because as long as we have them, they never truly leave us.
@@saiyasha848 The memories dont leave us easily, BUT the people are DEAD. They have left
@@saiyasha848 Memories dont bring people back
Your reaction was adorable. Robin is a part of the Bronze Era/Dark Age of Disney films. It was called this because 1966 was the year that Walt Disney passed away from lung cancer (bad smoking habit). From 1977-1988 the studio only produced 8 feature animations with relative to little success before they bounced back in 1989 with The Little Mermaid.
"Oh, the babies" 🥰
I was lucky to be in elementary school during the "Disney Renaissance". Little Mermaid came out when I was in Kindergarten (or the year before, I can't remember) and Lion King came out when I was in 5th grade. So I had those and Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast during that time. Good timing!
I used to swim laps at lunchtime with Brian Bedford, the voice of Robin Hood! He was such a nice guy! Sadly he died in 2016.
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".
Pat Buttram was also one of the hound dogs in Aristocats!
To me, THIS is the original "Robin Hood" and NOBODY is going to convince me otherwise.
This is an unsung favorite Disney movie of mine, and I watch it every time I'm feeling bad because there's just something about Robin Hood telling me everything is gonna be okay that makes me feel better. Plus Prince John and Sir Hiss are hilarious.
Me and my sister grew up watching this movie on loop. At a certain point we had all the dialogue memorized. Great movie. Much better than anything made for kids today, in my opinion.
Robin Hood and Bedknobs and Broomsticks are my Fav Disney Movies... you have to watch Bedknobs!!!
My favorite live action Disney film as a kid!
Filigree apogee pedigree perigee!
The thing I miss the most about these movies is the animation, it's so full of life and vibrant and there's a quality to it that get lost with animation that is drawn digitally
Yeah, the lines that draw the characters all have this sorta shifty grit made of graphite that makes each of them feel just a bit more vibrant and animated.
The music might just be the most underappreciated part of the movie. They had both Roger Miller *and* Johnny Mercer contributing lyrics. Both of those guys are pretty much songwriting royalty.
Love these old cartoon movies. The Black Cauldron, Sword in The Stone, Sleeping Beauty. Then a mix of live & animation Benknobs & Broomsticks. Almost forgot, The Jungle Book.
the Disney "renaissance" is overrated and the 60s and 70s movies cartoons were some of the best. The 77 Rescuers has one of the most beautiful openings of all time, but since it doesnt have 78 cuts per minute it's considered boring.
@@CarSVernon As much as I love this era of films, they didn't really capture audiences at the time, either. The company was in a bad place directionally and financially.
Still my favorite Disney flick of all time. Everyone is great in this, but Ustinov is amazing. Great Mouse Detective is another one that doesn't get enough love.
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!
My buddies and I used to drink beer and watch this movie all the time. The very dignified Peter Ustinov as Prince John is brilliant! He had us rolling on the floor.
Been watching your reactions a long time, had no idea you had never seen something like this. Robin Hood, the Disney version is such a pure and wholesome movie, it really is damn near perfect for the entire family and doesn't get nearly the recognition it truly deserves. I would STRONGLY recommend The Sword in the Stone as well for anyone that really enjoys this one. Another movie based off of English mythos/legend (this time young Arthur).
The best Disney movies are the lesser known ones. Robin Hood, The Sword in the Stone, and Atlantis are among my favorites.
Yessssssss. I love the fish scene in sword in the stone. lol awesome
Atlantis is decent. I think they did a lot of missteps with marketing and that’s why it underperformed.
You think this is a lesser known film? Huh, wow!
I love The Sword in the Stone!
The Black cauldron
One of my favorite movies of all time as a kid... this is actually the first time I'm hearing to the original voices! I only watched my country's dub as a kid, which I remember being very good as well! Dubs from my country can feel a bit hit or miss these days, so I cherish those older movies dearly, they all feel like All-Star casts to me! More often than not, it felt like the folks playing the characters not only had experience, but were also having a good time doing so!
I remember watching this in the theater as a little girl. It's still adorable!
Some of the greatest artists of all time worked on the animated Disney movies from this time period, they were all masters at what they did
Phil Harris voiced in both the jungle book and here as little john. Hes also a musician and southern singer most famous for "thats what i like about the south". This is easily one of the best disney cartoons and truly loved by all. I still remember watching it with the family as a kid and my Mother laughing and doing the voices of the vultures.
Here's an additional fun fact: Phil Harris performed on the Jack Benny radio show from the late 1930s to the early 1950s and then he got his own radio program. Disney cast many well known actors for the voices in Robin Hood.
He voiced baloo.
Phil Harris also voiced Thomas O'Malley in *The Aristocats* (1970).
@@oliverbrownlow5615 that’s right.
This is actually my favorite Disney animated film. I watched it as a kid and then when I had a kid sister she would watch it constantly. I think we wore out two VHS tapes of it. I like the voice actors of Robin and Prince John, particularly when PJ laughs and says Ah-HA. I can't think of any other laugh improvisation voiced like it. But this film is a solid classic of my youth. The music and animation is enduring and I still watch it from time to time.
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.
I really loved that as a kid (and still now) because it gives the feeling that the animated characters are real actors. Just like watching Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit!
Same voice actor played Baloo and Little John.
This movie is infamous for its recycled animation, there is so much in this, and it recycles from as far back as Snow White.
There’s also Tailspin which also had a Baloo
In an ironic twist, it actually cost them more time and money to look through their archives and have the scenes reanimated. 😂
Growing up in the 80s, this movie was on frequent rotation in my house. I absolutely loved this movie.
This is such an underrated Disney classic. My favorite scene has always been Clucky’s run with the arrow.
I was a little kid when I first saw "Dumbo". The scene when Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo's mother, was locked in the wagon and she rocked his cradle. The lullaby was what made me cry.
@jessyca_zander Dumbo was remade as a live action, and it had some merit, along with showing the circus in context with real city life and greed.
The Disney original gets flak because of the two crows. I thought the crows were funny.
I had to stop the movie to say: The level of sophistication in the animation blows my stinkn’ mind!!!!!!!! Masterful!!!!!!!!!!
This movie makes me do nostalgic. When I was a kid in high school we'd play this on VHS when our parents went out and we'd have to watch our younger siblings (I'm second oldest out of seven so there was a lot of baby sitting). Being a musical family we figured out a few of the songs - "Robin Hood and Little John Walking Through the Forest" and "Not in Nottingham" on instruments at the request of the younger kids so they could sing along. Crazy that they are grown up with kids of their own now.
Great character design, great animation, great voice acting! Possibly my favorite childhood disney film!
I loved this reaction! Robin Hood and The Sword in the Stone are among my favourite Disney movies. I've lost count of how many times I've watched Robin Hood, I never get tired of it. It's so funny, adventurous, the songs are great, the romantic plot is well done and dreamy, and Prince John and Sir Hiss are so much fun.
Yes! If Cassie hasn't seen it, The Sword in the Stone is hands down one of the funniest movies Disney made.
Brian Bedford played Robin Hood. His wonderful voice was so perfect for this gem of a cartoon classic film.
So Brian Bedford was primarily a stage actor and had received SEVEN Tony Nominations.!
My cousin and I adored this film so much as kids. It was my cousins favorite and mine too.!
It was such a joy to see your reaction to, in my opinion, the most magnificent and magical film by Disney. Or well hmm I do say it is probably one of their top films as it was so timeless. It could have been released today and it still would have been a favorite for kids and adults alike.! :-)
I watched this more times than I can count as a kid. I remember getting it on VHS for a bday 1 year when I was little and I would always put this one on. I just loved the story and humor. It had a little bit of everything. It's such an underrated Disney movie and seeing this again was so much nostalgia. Oo-de-lally!
To this day, this is STILL my favorite Disney Animated Movie........yet sadly, you never see these characters at Disneyland, any longer 😞
If you like animated movies, I've definitely recommend to watch "The Last Unicorn" - lots of fantasy, romance, some comedy and the eternal battle of good and evil, perfectly underlined with the beautiful soundtrack of America (a famous band in the 80s) and with some great voice actors.
AGREE!! I was going to recommend The Last Unicorn as well! One of the best animated films ever made! Cassie would love it!
I'd say Last Unicorn is more about hope vs. despair, really. But definitely second this suggestion.
One of my favorite Disney movies, along with The Sword in the Stone and original Jungle Book. The Great Mouse Detective was pretty damn awesome too
The Fox and the Hound!
This is my favorite Disney film EVER made. Loved this one growing up and to this day count it as the best animated film ever made. The voice acting in this movie is impeccable
Nah...I like "Darby O'Gill & The Little People".
Me too.
Cassie is right. That fox is a fox.
*Hmm yes, floor is floor.*
Cassie is a furry, confirmed
@@joshgrobansdrymouth haha
Anna Kendrick agrees.
@@LordHoth_09 siens
ah Disney's Robin Hood, the film that launched a thousand Furries. glad you are enjoying it. it was one of my favorite films as a young hatchling.
Sniff, child hood memories. I love this movie one of Disney's classics for sure. 😇 And what a cast! 🙂😍
I think you would love Disney's animated Jungle Book. Phil Harris is a scream!
He’s definitely a legend but honestly Peter Ustinov is great in this. You can tell he was having fun with his role as King John.
One of the funniest scenes ever when Baloo meets the Orangutan King!
This is my favorite Disney film, I am so glad you watched it and others may get to see it for the first time because of you!
They used to show Disney movies every Sunday night on ABC I think it was, it was the perfect way to end the weekend as a kid
This is one of my all time favourite Disney movies! Sir Hiss has a special place in my heart for being the cutest little henchman ever 🥰
Kinda excited about this. This is one of my childhood favorites, something I definitely had on VHS, and watched all the time. Great pick.
Saaame!!
"Just Like Baloo" exactly right Cassie. the animators basically reused Baloo for Little John, and both were voiced by Phil Harris (best known as the bandleader on Jack Benny's program)
The narrator/Rooster is the great country artist named Roger Miller.
He's quirky. Kinda reminds me of Robin Williams, not only in quirkiness, but his physical looks too.
This is my favorite Disney movie of all time! I’m blown away you are watching it! The humming/whistling melody from this makes me so happy every time I hear it
If you haven't seen The Fox and the Hound (1981)you should definitely add it to the list
Oh, just melt her heart out, why don't ya.
My favorite…followed by this Robin Hood
Absolutely!
Yes! The Fox and the Hound!!
Something about this movie is so satisfying to me. It’s funny, heartwarming, good music, love all the characters, and the artwork. It’s one of my favorite movies
Reading through these comments, did you know you had so many "old folks" subscribers? Lol! We love you! Have to admit I am a huge Horror fan, love your reactions
I remember watching this on "The Wonderful World of Disney" which aired on Sunday nights WAAAAAY back in the olden days before cable and VHS 😄 Pretty sure my parents took me to see it in the theater too when several of these were being shown again. Seeing it all grown up, yeah, Robin and Marian are easily one of my favorite Disney couples.
The one I've never seen is _Sleeping Beauty,_ I've been meaning to for years, even have a digital copy of it, I just never get around to watching it. Oh and fun fact: the singer Roger Miller, who voiced Allan-a-Dale the Rooster, played a sheriff in the _Murder, She Wrote_ episode "A Dog's Life," which also featured the Disney staple Dean Jones.
The Wonderful World of Disney, followed by Bonanza and The High Chaparral!
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!
_"A lot of people don't like this era of Disney animation. . ."_ 🦊 In my 55 or so years on this weird little rock, I'm happy to say, I've never heard that. 🤗
Still beats today's lifeless generic computer animation.
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.
@@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.
2:50 YES! Hamster dance!
They had the most wholesome movies and songs back in the day.
Even with all of the newer stuff, Robin Hood has always been considered one of my absolute favorite Disney films. I probably watched this (along with Peter Pan and Aladdin) more times that I can remember while growing up. It's a shame this one isn't talked about as much since it's honestly a pretty solid film. The plot may be simple but it's done in such a charming and whimsical way that it's hard to stop smiling.
This is quite possibly the most wholesome and adorable reaction I've seen you do yet and it's super heartwarming
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.
Growing up in the heyday of VHS, this is my absolute favorite Disney animated film. I first saw it as a kid in the 80s, and absolutely loved it.
This is my favorite Robin Hood movie and the reason I love foxes. Taking me back to my childhood 40+ years ago
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.
The first furry movie 😏
I'm so glad you watched this!!!
My favorite behind-the-scenes fact about this movie is that this was made shortly after Disney's death and the people working at the company were just really hating what the new leadership were doing. As a minor act of revenge, Prince Jon and the Sheriff are actually based on the CEO and CFO of the company.
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?
Aww! This was my childhood growing up. I even have an old vinyl LP with the story and songs on it. An interesting little tid-bit, there is an 'alternate ending' to this movie that was eventually scrapped for the ending you just watched. If you are interested have a look for it sometime. Looking forward to your reaction of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood! He's only my 2nd favorite next to this Robin Hood :)
Same!
Hands down my favorite Disney movie ever. Amazing music, funny, well made. It's perfect
The reason why Little John sounds like Baloo is because he's the same voice actor, Phil Harris
Oo-de-looly!
The late great Peter Ustinov as Prince John. Saw this in theatres. I was five. Everyone can sing Oh-De -Lally
You can tell Ustinov was having fun
Mother Rabbit-- "Have you no heart?"
Sheriff -- "I thought it by now it be totally clear that I don't."
I LOVE King John's voice in this film.
It's Peter Ustinov! Great actor.
This was my absolute favorite movie as a kid, I have no idea how many times I must've watched it, I even still have the Beta tape from back in the day! It's definitely a very adorable version of the story, they really made some characters very cute for being animals :) Glad you loved it!
Thank you for reacting to this. My favorite Disney movie as a kid (and so, probably still today), and I go back from time to time for the nostalgia of it and end up loving it all over again. The voice acting and songs are still amazing.
Glad you watched the old Robin Hood that it took so many influences from too.
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.
Loved this movie as a Kid. Watched it about 30 years ago. Peter Ustinov as Prince John was brilliant. Being from Germany i only saw, of course the German version, but Peter Ustinov did Prince John in the German version too. Great man, lovely movie.
This is one of my childhood favorites. The songs were really outstanding.
Roger Miller was a super respected Country singer/songwriter. Famous for his specialty songs, like Dang Me, and Chug a Lug. Lost him way too soon.
Tell me Little John isn't just Baloo at a Renaissance fair in between watching the man cub and delivering cargo in the Sea Duck.
I’d watch Baloo at a Renaissance fair if Becky would play along.
People in the comments all saying Robinhood and The Sword in the Stone were the best [Core_Disney_Repeatables] - are correct. In the age of Home Video they got worn out the most.
Terry Thomas was also in "Monte Carlo or Bust" with an all-star cast: comedy worth checking out.
Yeah, they pretty much based Little John on Baloo and as you saw in the celebration scene, used some of Baloo's animation, plus they used Phil Harris as Little John's voice so there is lot in common between the two characters.
This is my favorite movie from childhood. It never gets old. And the music by Roger Miller in this movie is fantastic. The song Not in Nottingham is probably my favorite.
Roger Miller went on to write *Big River* (1985), a Tony Award winning musical based on *The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.*
The "Love; it seems like only yesterday" song, and maid Marion throughout has been my template that represents true love.
I can still remember those feelings, as a child of only 11 or so, so strongly that It's probably destroyed my entire adult social life. I really loved both Marion, and her love for Robin.
Broken me for any relationships since, probably. But I'm not really complaining.
What a beautiful romance. And beautiful two foxes.
And such iconic soundbite tunes.
I love this. Seeing an adult discover something I loved as a child is somehow so heartwarming.
I watched this movie so much when I was a kid. I could quote it. Supposedly, my dad tolerated it because it was 10 minutes shorter than Cinderella, and we all had to get to bed. As an adult, I'm pretty sure he actually enjoyed it. It's a cross between the 1938 Robin Hood and Pogo - two of his childhood favorites 🙃
