#ROBIN HOOD SIR HISS FREE#
Little John manages to free all of the prisoners, Tuck included, whilst Robin steals all of Prince John's gold. The night before the execution, despite the precautions of Prince John, Robin Hood and Little John sneak into the castle. Prince John learns of this, and orders Tuck's execution, hoping to lure Robin into doing something rash to save him. The Sheriff visits Friar Tuck's church to steal from the poor box Tuck throws him out and attacks him with a quarterstaff, resulting in Tuck's arrest for "treason". Prince John learns of the song and furiously triples the taxes most of the town cannot pay, and are imprisoned. In the forest, Robin and Marian share a romantic evening, then are surprised by Robin's " merry men", who sing a funny song dubbing John the "Phony King of England". Little John threatens Prince John with a dagger, resulting in a fight between Robin's forces and Prince John's soldiers, culminating in Robin's party escaping with Marian and Lady Kluck in tow. Robin wins the tournament, but Prince John recognizes him based on his skill as an archer and exposes him, sentencing him to death despite Marian's pleas. Robin disguises himself as a stork and enters the contest, while Little John masquerades as the Duke of Chutney to get close to Prince John. Marian reveals that she and Robin were once childhood sweethearts, but she was sent to London and has not seen him for years, only recently returning to Nottingham and assuming Robin has forgotten her.įriar Tuck, the local priest, visits Robin and Little John to report that Prince John is hosting an archery tournament, with a kiss from Maid Marian as the prize. The children sneak inside, meeting Maid Marian and her lady-in-waiting Lady Kluck. Skippy along with two of his sisters and his friend, Toby, test out the bow, but Skippy accidentally fires the arrow into the grounds of Nottingham Castle. However, Robin gives back some money to a family of rabbits, and gives a bow, arrow and one of his hats to the young rabbit Skippy for his birthday. The Sheriff, under Prince John's orders, taxes the inhabitants of Nottingham excessively. Robin and Little John rob Prince John by disguising themselves as fortune tellers, prompting the Prince to put a bounty on their heads. Unfortunately, the Prince is greedy and immature, even sucking his thumb whenever his mother is mentioned (the act is treated as a psychological tick, which Hiss suggests hypnosis as a cure for, though John rebukes him). Earlier, Sir Hiss hypnotized Prince John's brother King Richard to fight in the third crusade, allowing Prince John to take the throne as de facto King. Meanwhile, Prince John and his counselor Sir Hiss arrive in Nottingham. The Sheriff of Nottingham tries to catch the two, but he fails every time. He introduces Robin Hood and Little John, who live in Sherwood Forest, robbing from the rich and giving to the overtaxed townsfolk of Nottingham. The film was a commercial success but received mixed reviews. Robin Hood was released on November 8, 1973. The project was approved, becoming the first animated feature to be produced without the involvement of Walt Disney. In 1968, Ken Anderson pitched a film adaptation of Robin Hood, incorporating ideas from Reynard of Fox by using anthropomorphic animals rather than humans. The idea was repeatedly shelved for several decades. The idea to adapt Robin Hood into an animated feature was dated back to Walt Disney's interest in the tale of Reynard the Fox following the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). The film features the voices of Brian Bedford, Phil Harris, Peter Ustinov, Pat Buttram, Monica Evans, and Carole Shelley. Based on the English folk tale of the same name, the story follows the adventures of Robin Hood, Little John, and the inhabitants of Nottingham as they fight against the excessive taxation of Prince John, and Robin Hood wins the hand of Maid Marian.
Produced and directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it is the 21st Disney animated feature film. Robin Hood is a 1973 American animated musical adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution.
