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.

...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.
