Why One Detail of Disneyβs Robin Hood Bothers Me And Always Will
Hi, welcome to my Ted Talk, today we will be dealing with something that has bothered me about Disneyβs Robin Hood since I was a kid and I still cannot get over to this very day.
And it all stems from THESE THREE PEOPLE:
Maid Marian, Prince John, and King Richard
Iβm going to preface this entire thing by saying THIS version of Robin Hood is very very VERY different than the source material, much like all Disney animated films, but it wasnβt really DISNEY who did the big changesβ¦ those just came over time with making things moreβ¦ Iβm just going to sayΒ βnormal for societyβ, which is ultra double lame.
BUT thatβs not the point, because that stuff happens everywhere and with everything, and if I started to complain about THAT weβd be here all day, and Iβm already going to take more of your time than needed to complain about something SUPER unimportant from a childrenβs animated movie made in 1973.
ANYWAY!
So, in the movie the titular character, Robin Hood, is a fox.Β Makes total sense, foxes are crafty, hard to catch, cunning, and known for getting into and out of situations that other animals would have difficulty with.Β Take that and turn it into an anthropomorphic character and youβd get someone who would easily be against the normal laws, not BAD, but would do BAD to do GOOD. Robin is a show off when he wants to be, and quiet when he has to be.
Heβs a pretty perfect Robin Hood, especially in the case of animated kids movies, his characteristics just work SO WELL with his personification as a fox. GOOD STUFF, if I do say so myself!
Little John, meanwhile, is a bear. Not just any bear, but a big olβ lovable brown bear. This plays on the idea of Little John being a cheeky nickname because Little John is a big, strong, and above all the calm, cool, and rationally smart one of the two. Robin may be clever, but John is the big picture guy. Pun intended.
These two designs and animal choices work SO well with each other, and itβs because these two are so different yet they get along and honestly NEED one another that makes the differences so perfect.
ALAN-A-DALE IS A ROOSTER. BRILLIANT. I donβt even have to go into this, do I? What a GREAT call by making Alan-A-Dale a rooster.Β Though, I feel a bit of his characteristics were also borrowed from Will Scarlet for the Disney version, but even that still fits everything. And, honestly, I donβt mind the blending of Alan and Will, it kinda works? Especially with the movie being as short as it is.
ROOSTER BARD. ROOSTER. BARD. So good, I mean cβmon. Itβs perfection.
TheΒ Sheriff of Nottingham being a wolf isβ¦ okay. Itβs okay. I get it though, having the wolf hunt the fox. Haha. Cheeky. Cliche, but cheeky.
I really have nothing to say about him, heβs justβ¦okay. Dudeβs a cop, so whatever. Not a fan of bootlickers, and the fact that theyβre dragging wolves in the mud by making a wolf into a cop isβ¦ whatever. /Heβs A Wolf Cop/
Personally, I donβt like Friar Tuck as a badger. It really doesnβt make sense to me, and I lowkey hate it that they totally missed so many opportunities. DOVE OF PEACE? LAMB OF GOD? Like FOR REAL, you coulda done something super cute like that, but NOoOoOoOoOoOβ¦ heβs a badger. And they kinda pick on him for half the movie, for no reason, and I donβt like that.
Still, Friar Tuck is cute, and a really fun character and they do some clever animation stuff with hisΒ βbadgerβ-ness. Still a bit of a missed opportunity.
OKAY NOW THAT WEβVE GOT THESE OTHER BIG ONES OUT OF THE WAY, ITβS TIME FOR MY ACTUAL PROBLEM!
MAID FRICKIN MARIAN IS A FOX.
WHAT THE FRICKEN FRICKITY FRACK?!
ABSOLUTELY NOT! Disney did this JUST because they wanted Maid Marian and Robin Hood to be THE SAME ANIMAL, and thatβs ABSOLUTE BUNK!
WHY? Well thereβs two BIG reasons that is irks me!
First, the idea that they HAD to be together because they were the same animal or they were made to be the same animal so it wouldnβt beΒ βweirdβ that they were together.
LAME! UNINSPIRED! BULLSHI-
*ehem* Nonsense. Nonsense.
And itβs even MORE nonsense because of this little factβ¦
PRINCE JOHN AND KING RICHARD ARE HER RELATIVES!
MAID MARIAN THE NIECE OF PRINCE JOHN AND KING RICHARD!
Okay, you could argue that Maid Marian was adopted, or that King Richard married a lovely fox woman and the fox womanβs relative had a daughter and THAT was Maid Marian. And YES, that would make the situation plausibleβ¦
EXCEPT!
This is MEDIEVAL ENGLAND and they are ROYALTY and that kinda stuff wouldnβt fly even IF King Richard is the King.
WHAT IβM SAYING ISβ¦
DISNEY ARE COWARDS FOR NOT HAVING A BIG LIONESS LADY DATE A TINY FOX MAN AND WE WERE ROBBED!
#I cannot focus enough to read all of this but that last part is a GREAT POINT
I really recommend reading the rest, itβs gold
Also this post is a goddamn mood
I couldnβt rest until I brought this lioness to life. I hope my humble Maid Marian does your imagination justice! @kdinjenzenβ
YESSSSSSSS~
Maybe this is my exposure to other variations but didnβt Friar Tuck in the original story keep bees? Badgers love honey so I thought maybe the badger choice was to relate to his ties with beekeeping (even though Iβm pretty sure the movie didnβt show the bees).
Hugo Simberg, The Garden of Death, 1896.
Every time I see this I always wonder what the painterβs intended message was. It looks so pleasant, that middle skeleton looks so happy with its work.
Maybe itβs supposed to be a memento mori, but a comforting and encouraging one.
This is one of the most famous paintings in Finland. There are multiple interpretations of it but they all share the same base idea:
βAccording to Simberg, the flowers represent peopleβs souls, the skeletons are aids to Death, and the Garden of Death is a purgatory of sorts for souls waiting for entrance into heaven. This artwork invites the viewer to consider the afterlife, to take comfort in his or her own passing, and to not fear what happens after the body fails to function.β
βIt depicts Simbergβs thoughts on afterlife, which is not run by angels but skeletons who take care of the heavenly garden with a gentle hand, while waiting for more βgardenersβ to arrive. It is derived from the medieval belief that the dead sleep in a blooming garden.β
βIn Simbergβs garden the humble Death-like figures struggle against harsh conditions; the landscape around the garden has burnt yellow, it is dry and barren. The cherished flowers grow in exotic shapes, slowly, requiring constant care. The black-clad figures love their nurslings. The garden is a place where Death is allowed to realize its feelings of affection. The Garden of Death can be seen depicting the impossibility of this love; maybe the flowers are tender and fragile because they can not handle the love of Death. Love has two faces: one of them is the face of devastation.β
Out of all the comments Iβve posted on this site this is my favourite. The notes are just full of people showing pure love to the Finnish Skeleton Gardeners.
