Robin Hood Production Cels
| BACK | NEXT |
The story of England's legendary hero of the common people is told by travelling
minstrel Allan-a-Dale. The story is enacted by an assortment of cartoon animal
characters (Robin Hood and Maid Marian are foxes, Little John is a bear, King
Richard and Prince John are lions, etc.). Robin Hood rebels against the villainy
of Prince John and his accomplices, Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
Prince John has usurped the throne of King Richard, his brother, who was captured
on the Crusades. With Little John, Friar Tuck, and the townspeople of Nottingham,
Robin defeats the runty prince and his minions and Richard is free to return
and reclaim his kingdom.
The Robin Hood legend has long been popular with movie makers, inspiring the
silent version starring Douglas Fairbanks, the Errol Flynn classic of 1938,
Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn's "Robin and Marian" in 1976, Disney's
own live-action version "The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men"
in 1952, and Kevin Costner's latest version in 1991. Some 350,000 drawings
were made for the production, with over 100,000 painted cels and 800 painted
backgrounds. The film was rereleased in theaters in 1982. Released on video
in 1984 and 1991.
Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman. Starring: the voices of Phil Harris (Little
John), Brian Bedford (Robin Hood), Roger Miller (Allan-a-Dale), Peter Ustinov
(King Richard/ Prince John), Terry-Thomas (Sir Hiss), Andy Devine (Friar Tuck),
Monica Evans (Maid Marian), and Pat Buttram (Sheriff of Nottingham). 83 min.
The songs, by Johnny Mercer, George Bruns, Roger Miller, and Floyd Huddleston,
include "Whistle-Stop," "The Phony King of England," "Love,"
"Oo-de-lally," and "Not in Nottingham." The song "Love,"
by George Bruns and Floyd Huddleston, was nominated for an Academy Award®.
In several sequences, George Bruns sought to capture the flavor of the period
by using medieval instruments such as French horns and harpsichords, and occasionally
just a mandolin.
