ROBIN HOOD (1973) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@PopcornInBed]

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 KZbin version of the 1938 classic!!

[@stephenbenton1597]

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.

[@sassquadsteve]

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.

[@keithmays8076]

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).

I mean, neither are Lions, but how often was the symbol of the lion used by Lord's and Kings throughout Europe?

[@jean-paulaudette9246]

@@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.

[@tashikat9040]

@@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.

[@tashikat9040]

The last native lions in the british isles died out over forty millenia ago, so I don't think it's that.

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.

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!"

[@themalcontent100]

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.

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.

[@brigidtheirish]

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.

[@Angelicwings1]

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.

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.

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.

[@ink-cow]

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.

[@jeffdetmer4681]

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.

What is the image?

[@DamonNomad82]

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".

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]

@@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.

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.

[@jdspencer60]

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

[@zenclover8468]

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.

[@tomcolby5821]

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).

This is my favorite Robin Hood movie and the reason I love foxes. Taking me back to my childhood 40+ years ago

[@L77045]

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.

[@tiberiusfemur374]

Love the video. This is one of, if not my favorite Disney film. The one dark cloud is that, apparently, this film is slated for the 'live action' treatment somewhere down the line. I am straight terrified at how badly they'll bungle everything up.

[@Scottie_S]

The voice of Peter Ustinov is so wonderful!! I loved that man when I was going through life as a young boy and teenager. He had moxie!

[@bradparnell614]

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?

[@patrickfriedauer4259]

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.

[@jaredbond7908]

The first furry movie 😏

[@drewbear1969]

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.

[@eliscoby3242]

I love this movie so much. The animation, voice acting, music, the characters and story, it all holds up so well into the modern day. Such a fun film

[@David_C_83]

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!

[@Gutslinger]

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.

[@debramartin1583]

I think you would love Disney's animated Jungle Book. Phil Harris is a scream!

[@tbirdUCW6ReAJ]

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.

[@susanalexander6721]

One of the funniest scenes ever when Baloo meets the Orangutan King!

[@toygiants8748]

When the young lady used the word whimsical I could tell she was far above the typical "It was good" responders. It sounds like she has a better than average vocabulary and knows how to use it. Please continue to delight us with your enjoyable videos.

[@deancummings586]

Okay, I LOVE that you reacted to this! I was in the second grade when I saw this with my mom and baby brother...was on the edge of my seat all the way through the movie! Then, a short time later I was with my mom, grocery shopping at Safeway, when I noticed an advertisement on a bag of Robin Hood brand flour that said there was one action figure from the movie in each bag...somewhere amidst all that flour! It was a limited time offer, so mom bought several bags so that my brother and I could have the set! We were thrilled with the little plastic toys, and there was large quantities of baked goods in the house in the months that followed. Bless her! Thanks again for the reaction...even as an adult, I still LOVE this movie!

[@deano2506]

This and The Sword in the Stone were my two favourite Disney movies as a child, they still bring me joy when I take the time to watch them. I miss the days when Disney adapted timeless tales into quality animations, they were made with a love & care that's severely lacking today in the corporation.

[@chrisclarke9637]

"Pinfeathers and... GULLEYFLUFF!!!"😂

Sir Ustinov as Prince John is just gold... ah-ha. AH-HA!🤣

[@no288]

Yep! And Terry-Thomas did the voice for Sir Hiss. Funny thing was, that his missing front tooth was incorporated into the design of that character ; )

To this day, this is STILL my favorite Disney Animated Movie........yet sadly, you never see these characters at Disneyland, any longer 😞

[@Keminas_United]

I'm glad you got to enjoy this classic! My first time seeing Robin Hood was the third act (around 19:25) on tv. I didn't own a copy on VHS as a kid, but my cousins did, and I absolutely enjoyed seeing the rest. I got to see it again at 15 online and it brought back good memories.

[@nottherocketman]

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.

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.

I so love that you actually reacted to this. Me and my daughters used to watch this movie a lot (among a bunch of other Disney movies) We used to crack up laughing when Little John goes up to Prince John during the archery tournament in disguise and says, "You're beautiful". 😂😂 We thought that was so hilarious. It was nice to watch this reaction with you.
