Talk:Robin Hood (1973 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
User:Rama added a stack of screenshots to the primary Robin Hood article. There's no room for them in this article unless and until it gets expanded, so for future reference they were:

In addition, the film is very popular with the furry fandom, with its characters being the inspiration for furry characters inspired on their designs.
Not sure how to rework this, but it's obviously redundant, which is obvious.
- I wouldn't say that the information is redundant - "Robin Hood" and "The Lion King" are certainly more popular within the furry fandom than most other Disney films. Tevildo 08:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Biggest Disney attraction?
Box Office section: "Robin Hood was very successful upon its initial release, garnering around $9.5 million, the biggest Disney attraction at that time, and its 1982 re-release garnered even more attraction."
Does that mean highest grossing Disney film to that date, or what exactly? --MeekSaffron (Jaffa,Tree!) 12:36, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Considered weak by critics?
Can someone add citations for this? I thought it was considered a classic. AMG likes it [1]. --Allen 22:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- No response, so I went ahead and took out this sentence: "Although the film is generally considered by film critics to be one of the weakest in the company's history (many cited re-use of animation within the film and from older films, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs), the film was successful upon its release." --Allen 22:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

- The Disney company, of course, markets each film as their greatest ever. I still recall a TV ad from some years ago touting the VHS release of several animated films, which referred to "the all time favorite, "The Great Mouse Detective." Whether or not you like that film it would be tough for anyone outside of Disney Productions to argue that it was an all-time favorite.PurpleChez 15:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "First videocassette to show FBI warning before movie"
I removed this statement as it is uncited and of doubtful veracity:
"Also, it wasn't the first movie that had the green fbi logo on video cassette"
Please cite the source for this claim. Thanks.--Marysunshine 03:45, 1 May 2006
The Second version VHS has the green FBI warnings, no previews & the 1988 original Classics logo. It looked something like this:
The First version 1991 VHS has the red/white FBI warning, orange FBI logo, 1986 home video logo with Mickey, along with 2 previews for Jungle Book and Rescuers Down Under, the 1991 Feature Presentation logo (a 1st for Disney videos) & a cut-short version of the 1988 regular Classics logo. It looked something like this:
I believe the original poster was not referring to FBI warnings in general, but to a specific FBI warning on a green screen that Disney used on its videos -- more of interest to Disney logospotters than a general audience.
- I would also like to remind said logo fans that this page is for discussing the article, not the movie or minutiae relating to its video releases. tregoweth 02:55, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please add
Please add the alternate ending to the Trivia section when it is known. Antmusic 22:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism???
There is an obvious problem in the third paragraph of the Plot section, the sentence that begins "a huge fight breaks out." I have no idea what it's supposed to say or how to fix it.PurpleChez 15:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Every home format?
Little Mermaid was released on 8mm video shortly after its release, it is doubtful Robin Hood was released in this format.
[edit] Wanye Knight?
Is King Richard's voice done by Wanye Knight, or by Wayne Knight?

- Peter Ustinov. Wayne Knight was still in his teens at the time. 71.238.189.104 (talk) 21:36, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
