Robin Hood, the Animated Version

The reason why I chose to do my paper on the movie Robin Hood is because it is funny and entertaining.
This movie begins with a Rooster playing his banjo. Throughout the movie, the Rooster plays the part of the narrator, who tells the story of our animated friends Robin Hood, and Little John. As the story began, the two partners were running through the forest because they saw Prince John and his royal chariot coming to take more taxes away from the people of Nottingham. Prince John was running the kingdom for his brother, King Richard who was away on a crusade. Prince John was an evil guy who stole all the money from the poor people for taxes so that he would be rich. Robin Hood and Little John decided to play a trick on Prince John. They ran toward the chariot, without Prince John noticing, dressed as female fortunetellers. When they arrived, they asked if Prince John wanted to have his fortune told. He agreed right away, and invited Robin Hood inside. As Prince John was concentrating on having his fortune told, Robin Hood and Little John began working to take back the money that Prince John had stolen from the villagers for taxes. The two partners ran off and distributed the money between the poor villagers. Because of Robin Hood’s controversial actions, the conniving Prince John tried to come up with a plan to trap Robin Hood the do-gooder and his do-gooder friend Little John. Knowing of Robin’s expertise in archery Prince John decided to hold an archery tournament, aware that Robin would not be able to pass up the opportunity. He is also aware that Robin Hood and Prince John’s niece, the stunningly beautiful Maid Marian, were childhood sweethearts. Just in case the archery tournament wasn’t enough to lure Robin Hood, the prize for winning, a golden arrow and a kiss from the beautiful Maid Marian would lure him. When the tournament began Prince John placed guards all over to try to spot Robin Hood. Robin came disguised as a stork, and won the tournament. Upon finding out who the disguised stork really was, Prince John captured him. Luckily, Little John came to the rescue and the two ran off into the woods. Prince John is furious and decides to raise the already sky high taxes. Nearly all of the villagers were not able to pay the taxes, and they were put into p...

...tain aspects of it that explain the world. Prince John represents the person in the world who’s only goal is to make it to the top, no matter who they step on along the way. On the other hand, Robin Hood is the do-gooder type who focuses on helping people and not being selfish.
I would recommend this movie to a friend because if they pretty much like cartoons and the story of Robin Hood, they would like this one. I would recommend this to my parents because they have seen this and want to sit down and watch it with their grandchildren. The one thing I can think of that runs counter to my life and belief system is that we should always help the people that are in need of our help. One thing that might offend others is the fact that Prince John steels from the poor. One thing a Christian could gain by watching this film is learning how to help those in need. I like this movie because it is a cartoon and cartoons are cool.
In this movie, the character of Robin Hood can be compared to Philippians 4:8. Most people would consider what he did to save the villagers as true, noble, right, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

    Arguably the most popular — and certainly the busiest — movie leading man in Hollywood history, John Wayne entered the film business while working as a laborer on the Fox Studios lot during summer vacations from university, which he attended on a football scholarship. He met and was befriended by John Ford, a young director who was beginning to make a name for himself in action films, comedies, and dramas. Wayne was cast in small roles in Ford's late-'20s films, occasionally under the name Duke Morrison. It was Ford who recommended Wayne to director Raoul Walsh for the male lead in the 1930 epic Western The Big Trail, it was a failure at the box office, but the movie showed Wayne's potential as a leading actor. During the next nine years, be busied himself in a multitude of B-Westerns and serials — most notably Shadow of the Eagle in between occasional bit parts in larger features such as Warner Bros.' Baby Face. But it was in action roles that Wayne excelled, exuding a warm and imposing manliness onscreen to which both men and women could respond.

    Response: Good question. Robin and the Merrymen's mission had started out as a personal vendetta against the Sheriff. It seems to me that in order for him to achieve that goal he must embrace a larger goal. This isn't all that unusual. We come across this all the time in business. A private inventor develops a new product that's really good. He starts a company and owns 100% of it. He does this to maintain control.

    ...amily she finds the true meaning of being brave and saves her family (“Brave”). I like this kind of movie instead of a man being the brave and independent one now the woman is. These are the kind of fairy tales that need to be told so that women do not feel the need to be weak and dependent on other people. If fairy tales slowly become more realistic then I think they are a good thing but teaching women to not be strong or if their not a size 0 and gorgeous, well that in my eyes is not okay.

    Robin Hood and his Band of Merry Men had a successful first year. With new recruits pouring in from the furthest outreaches of England, Robin had met his objective of strengthening in number. Although he was satisfied with the size of the organization, he has realized necessary preparations had not been made to accommodate the now over abundance of members of his organization. Many challenges now face Robin such as a lack of provisions and lack of funds to support the band, but he cannot lose focus of their original foundation of "Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor". In addition they have to stay focused on their long term goal to remove Prince John from power by freeing King Richard from his imprisonment in Austria. Robin Hood has to form structure within his organization so that it can continue to grow and prosper.

    Throughout literature, authors employ a variety of strategies to highlight the central message being conveyed to the audience. Analyzing pieces of literature through the gender critics lens accentuates what the author believes to be masculine or feminine and that society and culture determines the gender responsibility of an individual. In the classic fairytale Little Red Riding Hood, the gender strategies appear through the typical fragile women of the mother and the grandmother, the heartless and clever male wolf, and the naïve and vulnerable girl as little red riding hood.

This is because a film will have greater success if the audience can relate or connect to the plot and the characters in the movie or story.

    Overall this film was exciting to watch and was good to help learn a little about the Elizabethan Era. Although the goriness is too much for someone who is sensitive to that kind of thing, you can still enjoy the movie. The costumes are eccentric, the set design is, although outdated, extremely detailed, and was a good movie if you were looking for something to watch and enjoyed a little bit of history in your life.
