comment
The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men is a 1952 Disney live-action film starring Richard Todd as Robin Hood.King Richard the Lion Heart leaves for The Crusades, accompanied by the Earl Of Huntingdon and the old Sheriff of Nottingham, and leaving the country in the hold of Queen Eleanor (who is also taking care of Huntingdon's daughter Marian), the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Prince John. Then Prince John starts to scheming to take over the kingdom with the help of his new Sheriff, starting with an archery contest to gather an army, which results in Robin Fitzooth, Marian's sweetheart, becoming an outlaw and taking the name Robin Hood. Robin and his band of Merry Men try to foil John's plans, but then news arrives of Richard's capture, and things start to deteriorate.Not to be confused with Disney's 1973 animated Robin Hood film, which is an Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation.

comment
Tempting Fate: The Sheriff swears to bring Robin Hood and all his men to justice the next day. The very next scene chronicles Robin meeting and recruiting Tuck and John into his band... Happens again during the gathering of the ransom. The Sheriff is forced by the crowd to donate his entire coffer (1,187 marks) and claims that doing so has left him penniless. At that moment, Robin's men come out dressed as the Sheriff's men, lugging a big trunk full of gold and silver.

Batman Gambit: A variation: Prince John's plans not only rely on knowing how people will react, but also using their past behavior against them. His plan to prevent Marian from telling Robin his plans, for example, would not have worked unless she had already dressed as a man to escape the castle.

comment
The Gadfly: Robin loves to do this: He describes his lady love as a tall, blonde, blue eyed, sweetly-tempered lady to the short, impetuous brunette Marian, just to rile her up. He joins the Friar in a duet just to annoy him, and makes him carry Robin across the river just for the fun of it. He plays an affable host to the sheriff so he can mock him. He and Little John carry the sheriff on their shoulders to celebrate his "generosity" in contributing to Richard's ransom, then dump him in the moat immediately after revealing their identities. And at the very end, after being declared Earl of Locksley, he leaves Marian in the dark so that she is heartbroken by her Perfectly Arranged Marriage to the Earl of Locksley.

comment
Adaptation Distillation: Robin Hood has all three of his most famous surnames referenced. He is first called Fitzooth, a name tied to the yeoman Robin Hood, which he is at first, then upon being ennobled receives the title Earl of Locksley, the name made popular in Ivanhoe. Finally, his Perfectly Arranged Marriage to Marian of Huntingdon implies he will add Earl of Huntingdon to his title as well.

Involuntary Charity Donation: When the townspeople are raising money for King Richard's ransom, Robin (in disguise) riles up the crowd to publicly shame the Sheriff into a matching donation of over a thousand marks. Meanwhile, the Merry Men have been raiding the treasury, and just as the Sheriff says he wishes he could give more, they show up and empty his entire treasure chest into the donation pile. The look on his face says it all, but there's nothing he can do because the people are all cheering for him.

Not Me This Time: Robin Hood gains a reputation for robbing rich passers-by of their money (and, to a lesser extent, being where Marian is). Thus he is forced to prove to the skeptical Queen and Archbishop that this time, the attempted theft of King Richard's ransom and the disappearance of Marian aren't his fault.

Devious Daggers: Unusually, given that it's a traditional swashbuckler and Robin's traditional Bow and Sword in Accord image, he never uses a sword in this movie, and actually crosses blades with Friar Tuck using only his knife and has a habit of flourishing it menacingly at the Sheriff and Prince John, making him look a bit more roguish.

Little Girls Kick Shins: Not that she is particularly little at the time, but the teenaged Marian kicks Robin in the shins when he is teasing her at the start of the film.

Splitting the Arrow: At the archery competition. Notable in that the person who splits the arrow is not Robin, but his father Hugh Fitzooth splitting Robin's arrow. When offered the golden arrow as a reward, he gives it to his son, since he hit the mark first and his aim "was no less true than mine."

Ambiguously Gay: Prince John and the Sheriff seem much more interested in each other's company than in pursuing the eligible Marian— and they both sport impeccably coiffed hair. (On the other hand, it's entirely possible they're just posh and villainous and in a family-friendly film.)

Composite Character: Baldwin of Forde was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1184 to 1190, Reginald Fitz Jocelin was archbishop from from November 27th 1191 to December 26th 1191, after that the position was vacant until Hubert Walter became archbishop in 1193 with his tenure ending in 1205. The film combines the three into one character.

A Handful for an Eye: When Robin, Little John and Scarlet demand Much's gold, he claims it is hidden in his sack of flour. He digs his hands into the flour to find it and, as the three outlaws are leaning over the sack, he flings a handful of flour into their faces. He then starts whacking them with his staff while they are blinded.

 The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men / int_ffad4e9f
comment
Shown Their Work: Most of the story owes more to the original ballads and Howard Pyle's version of the legend than to later movies and books. Much, Tuck, and even Marian, to some degree, have their arcs copied almost exactly from the source material. Robin's even a yeoman instead of a knight here. Also, the Sheriff is referred to as De Laci in his first scene. Roger De Laci was an actual High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire during the period. The Archbishop overseeing collection of the ransom is also historically accurate.
