After finding out two years ago that there’s a decent-sized group of people worldwide whom believe the earth is flat/NASA is a conspiracy/outer space doesn’t exist/ect. strange conspiracy folk don’t surprise me anymore.
Y’know, the Smithsonian Institute has Arthur Fonzie’s jacket, the very first Garfield Sunday comic strip on display, and such prized pop-culture nick-nacks.
According to certain people the Smithsonian spends more time and money hiding the TRUTH (about American prehistoric giants, ancient astronauts, Atlantis, Bigfoot, et multiple cetera) than it does doing any scientific or historical work. So it’s hardly unique to Merrie Olde England.
I see… Alot of strange people out there.
To be fair I recall that author as being a bit, well, I’ll be polite and say ‘eccentric’. A member of the ‘King Arthur was 100% Real but mainstream historians are Hiding The Truth’ club.
Seriously?…
Not to mention, Sir Hiss, might not even be an African snake, and none of the characters are implied to be such. I think people just try to look for things to be offended by.
I love that one myself but I remember some British writers yelling how it was racist because all the ‘bad’ animals were African. Uh, like the wolf Sheriff and his archers?

*Better because you can go around doing whatever you want and they’ll hardly notice.
Not sure what “themes” you’re refering to, but yeah Tum Curry is awesome. He’s done alot of voice & live-action work.
Rock-a-Doodle also had certain themes that I always liked as a kid but didn’t understand why until I hit puberty and they turned into a fetish. Same with Fern Gully. (That freaking song, man. Tim Currey’s was pretty awesome too.)
I kinda like “funny cartoon animals” to.
Y’know, I like “Rock-a-doodle” to. Sure it was not one of Don Bluth’s most beloved movies, (his ‘80s movies were more beloved/popular) and was kinda strange, but I liked it as a kid, it had good animation, that “cute yet edgy/dark” charm/style of classic Don Bluth movies, good voice talent, (the movie marked the last role of Phil Harris) and it had a nice variety of character personalities in the cast.
Not to mention some the cheesy songs were great, especially the bad guy musical bits, which were a hoot.
“They’re running out, they’re running out of batteeerrrries!”
Lady Cluck beating up all the rhino guards football-style was quite hilarious, and awesome.
I heard in some old versions of “Robin Hood,” Maid Marian was actually a nun, so she couldn’t actually marry him. Still, the Disney version of her was nice to, and I liked the part where she was nice to those kids who snuck into the castle yard.
I also like how dispite how goofy/comical the villains were they had some pretty dark/threatening moments to, reminding you they’re villains. (Especially, later in the movie when Prince John & the Sherriff show they’re alot nastier then they normally show.)
I like villains that are both goofy/funny, yet have a darker, and threatening side to.
I have always had a mini-crush on Maid Marian’s assistant, Clucky. Taking into consideration the time that Disney’s Robin Hood was made, it was fun to see her fight along side the men in her own feminine way. Marian was done relatively well too, even though the relationship between her and Robin is fairly cliched.
Agreed, it was quite charming, and it was unique for the time of making them all animal characters. (Only other Disney movies with an all-animal cast are “The Lion King,” & “Bambi.”)
Some complained it reused some animation from a few older Disney movies, (like the “Jungle Book,” AristoCats, and Snow White) but as a kid it was kinda fun to spot those, and think, “Oh I remember that!” So I actually kinda liked that, even if some others see it as cheap. (Besides, they were very brief moments, and mostly just during that one dance/musical scene.)
It was also kinda funny they used some southern American-accented actors with the British ones, which is normally a “taboo” for “Robin Hood,” but oddly didn’t seem to hurt this one. (It was especially funny hearing Robin Hood’s British voice actor trying to pretend to sound “American” in one scene when he’s in disguise.)
Pat Buttram as the “Sheriff of Nottingham” was especially amusing. I liked how his “friendly/laid back” tone of voice clashed with the Sherriff’s rather unplesent actions. (Like taking money from a kid, or church charity without any remorse for it.)
I don’t think that it’s Disney’s best by any means, but it’s so damn charming.
I heard when it originally came out in theaters in completely bombed/failed in the box office. It however became more popular when it was released on home video in the ’80s, and ’90s.
