    It was widely believed at one time that a snakes prey became so full of fear that they couldn't move, as if they were hypnotized and that is how a snake could get so close to their prey before striking. Disney took that folklore and made it into an actual ability, that's why their snakes can hypnotize others.

    • @Lopitra
      @Lopitra Před 7 měsíci +3

      That's not all. I read the Jungle Book, and in it, Kaa basically had the ability to hypnotise and get command over his prey, making them walk right to him. I can imagine a lot of fiction involving snakes having hypnotising abilities drew inspiration from that, if it wasn't already a common myth by the time that book came out.

    Regarding the animation / line art style: this is the xerox era. In order to save money, instead of inking the lines from the cleaned up rough drawings by hand, they used this fancy new xerox photocopy technique, which wasn’t as smooth and left some traces of the rougher drawing passes. Walt Disney hated it. I personally dig this style, it feels much more dynamic imho.

    If I'm not mistaken, then Disney had a catalog of all previously animated motions from their previous movies. And the animators used many animations from the catalog to save time and effort. That's why Lady Marian dances exactly like Snow White, Robin and Marian dance together like they do in Aristrocats, Little John dances like Baloo, Hiss hypnotizes like Kaa, etc.

    • @Kiku91
      @Kiku91 Před 4 měsíci +3

      I have heard in an interview, that the catalogue was so immense, that looking for a particular animation to trace in a new movie took just as much time and effort as animating new material. But sometimes it was done, because other animators did it, like a trend, creating Easter eggs.

  • @megaloo
    @megaloo Před rokem +91

    This movie was the first animated feature made entirely without Walt Disney. (He died before The Jungle Book and The Aristocats came out but was involved in the production of them.) Due to budget and deadline reasons, there is some recycled animation from past films and similarities to some character designs. It's part of what some dub the "Dark Age" or "Bronze Age" of Disney Animation before the Renaissance period with The Little Mermaid. Before they went back to that fairytale-musical formula, the studio did some interesting experiments with different kinds of stories (some of them a bit darker!).

    • @lynntaylor9681

    Yes, so the foxy Robin Hood came at the time after Jungle Book and after Walt's death. The company was very lost without the commanding lead of Walt's vision. They reused/traced the rough drafts from scenes from Snow White, Jungle Book, and Aristocats. They also hired voice actors they knew for similar character like Baloo for Little John (Phil Harris). As an animator, I actually like the xerox animation because I used to study the rough lines showing through the paint cells to learn how to animate better and i generally like the dirtiness of the hand drawn animation as it really feels extra handmade and connects you better to the 9 Old Men, animation's legends, instead of today's super clean and polished 3d animations (which are still excellent but sort of less impressive).

    Some info about this particular animation period…The Jungle Book was that last Disney film that Walt Disney himself was involved with before he passed away in 1966, and for the next two decades animators were left to do it on their own. This era was known as the “Dark Age of Disney” and ran from 1970 to 1988. During this time period, Disney suffered from Walt’s Death and was not turning out as quality films as before. They did not have the funds for new animations, having to reuse movements from previous works.
    The “Phony King of England” scene in the forest took so many animation frames from Jungle Book and Snow White. You’ll also see reused animations in more to come :)

      I think it is partly because for all of its shortcoming, the movie does a great job to create tension without being terrifying, making it a perfect kids movie which is still enjoyable for adults. Just the way the whole tournament is set up, where you know perfectly well that Robin will eventually walk into a trap, or the scene with the prison break, which first involves a lot of sneaking around before all the hell breaks loose. Modern Disney movies are just lacking this kind of patience, everything has to be big and impressive, but the more subtle story telling is often lost due to it.

    Fun fact: there was an alternate ending where Robin Hood was wounded during the escape, and as he's laying in bed recovering, Prince John shows up to kill him in person, only to be stopped by King Richard. They changed it when they realized that it was too out-of-character for Prince John, being the coward that he is.

  • @AniFAE_Productions
    @AniFAE_Productions Před rokem +44

    The scruffy Line work is a result of disney using Xerography, the process of essentially photocopying the pencil tests straight into animation cel's, removing the need for hand inking. In time they improved this. Eventually they would use the CAPS system, to fully digitally paint the frames. This was first used in the very last shot of the Little Mermaid, and the Rescuers Down Under was the first to fully utilize the CAPS system. Would love to see reactions to some more Don Bluth movies like An American Tail, Land before time, Secrets of Nimh.

    There’s a deleted scene ending I REALLY wish they used. Robin Hood is seriously wounded and Lil John brings him to the church to rest as Maid Marian tends to him. And Prince John and Sir Hiss try and kill him in his sleep while Lil John is out getting treatment for him. Maid Marian refuses to let Prince John get close as he tries to stab Robin Hood personally only to be interrupted by King Richard who stops him and demands his crown back. Saying he should kill John, but that would make mother upset. So he spares them and leaves both Prince John AND Sir Hiss sucking their thumbs.
    Would’ve let Maid Marian take part in the final act. And better resolved things.
    Also the dancing scene in this movie is copied RIGHT out of The Jungle Book, and I believe Aristocats did the same thing. Not all of it, but Lady Cluck and Lil John’s dance is identical. For hand drawn animations, that is ridiculously impressive and also WAY harder to do.

    There's actually a fun little bit of trivia hidden in this movie for history buffs. The mother of Richard and John was Eleanore of Aquitane, who was probably one of the most powerfull and brilliant women to ever live. And she consistently and repeatedly kept maneuvering Richard to be the king of England over John, and didn't really ever hire her disdain for him (she knew he would be a weak king). That's why Prince John in the movie has such mommy issues.

    Disney used to reuse a lot of animations for different projects back then. I'm not far into this video yet, but you'll notice in Robin Hood... the scene where Marian is dancing in Sherwood Forest with the animals is the same sequence when Snow White was dancing with the Dwarfs. And when Clucky is dancing with Little John, it's the same animation for King Louie and Baloo. When Mowgli is tackled by the wolves out of love, the same sequence is used in the The Sword and The Stone. The ballroom scenes in Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast are the same, as well as a few other minor animations. Much of it is subtle but they're still fascinating little facts.

    This was one of my favorite movies as a kid. As an adult I’m impressed at how different the overall plot is from most Robin Hood movies, but they still hit some classic scenes (like the archery contest) and nailed the right tone. It shouldn’t work, treating Robin Hood’s England as if it were the American South, yet it works. The voices are great, the sounds are great, the backgrounds are great, the comedy is funny. It’s nostalgic for sure, but I do enjoy this movie and admire it.

    There's a Disney History blog called "Passport to Dreams Old & New", that did a deep dive review of this film back in 2014 that is well worth the read. (It's in a post titled "The Age of Not Believing: Week Ten" which was part of a series reviewing the films in years after Walt's passing.) It covers not only how the plot and music choices turn the Robin Hood story into more of an American Western that just happens to be set in England with bows and crossbows instead of six shooters, but also how the film was one of the major instigating factors in the modern furry fandom.

  • @cliffchristie5865
    @cliffchristie5865 Před rokem +8

    More than once in this period they did reuse sequences from previous films, overlaying the older animation drawings, adapting them to the new characters. The narrator was Roger Miller, better known as a singer than an actor. Prince John was voiced by Peter Ustinov. Usually Disney signed name actors for three picture deals, in Ustinov's case, it was four, "Robin Hood" being the only animated film. The other three were "Blackbeard's Ghost", "One Of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" and "The Treasure Of Matecumbe". The animators sometimes had fun incorporating physical traits of the voice actors into their characters. In this case giving Sir Hiss Terry Thomas's distinctive tooth gap and Friar Tuck Andy Devine's bushy eyebrows.

    I cried so much as a child when it looked like Robin had been killed, no matter how many times I saw it I think as a kid I thought maybe this time will be different, maybe this time he won't make it and would cry again! I also completely agree with you guys about the voice acting in this one (despite how many returning voices we have). I so wish I was able to whistle so that that I could whistle along with the opening song!
    Me and my brother still just randomly shout Oo-de-lally on a fairly regular basis thanks to this. 😁
    Also this film has so much re-used animation, just like James said.
    Just off the top of my head, the sequence of Little John, Robin & Marion running from the collapsing tower with stones falling around them, is the same animation in places as the sequence of Baloo, Bagheera and Mowgli running from the collapsing temple in The Jungle Book. Marion's dancing that you commented on during the Phony King of England song is re-used animation of Snow White dancing with the dwarfs. Also with the mouse in the church, her feisty body shake ready to take on anyone, is the same as Merryweather in Sleeping Beauty. I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head. And none of that stops me from enjoying the film at all, in fact it is my second favourite Disney film ever (after The Jungle Book).
    And yes... I definitely had a crush on Robin as a kid! 😂

    The scene does reuse a bit of animation of previous films, notably Jungle Book, Aristocats, and Snow White. This film came post Walt Disney when he passed away in 1966.

    The original concept for this movie underwent a lot of changes, at first, there were three different movie ideas going on at the same time. Disney wanted to make a version of the French play, Chanticleer, about a rooster who believes his crowing actually is responsible for bringing up the sun, a version of Robin Hood that was set in the Wild West, and a version of the old Medieval story Renard, the Fox (a trickster who represented the desire of the commoners to outwit the nobility). In the end, they added elements of all three together (hence all the Western staple voice actors), Chanticleer’s character model was eventually changed to be Alan-a-dale, and of course, Robin Hood ended up being the story.
