Episode 40: Robin Hood - Cheap Quotable Thrills

The Rotoscopers gang is back in action in this extra long episode, where they talk about one of their all-around favorite Disney animated classics: Robin Hood!

Highlights:

Chelsea tells about how she got to hang out with rock legend Alice Cooper.
Mini reviews of Epic and Monsters University.
Mason’s previews Despicable Me 2 and shares his how he has the plot of Turbo all figured out.
Interview with Rotoscopers’ writer Mayra Amaya!
Main Discussion: Robin Hood–the holy grail of funny Disney films.
Voice acting filled with Disney veterans (read Blake’s opinion piece about Robin Hood’s voice actors); Accents = proper English and backwood rednecks.
A little history of Disney’s Xerox era.
Disney’s Robin Hood origins: Reynard the Fox.
Introduction uses reused animation, “Whistle Stop” = hamster dance, intro to Robin Hood and Little John, justification.
Sir Hiss is a well designed character; Prince John is a weak, pathetic, hilarious villain; “Beautiful, lovely TEXAS!”
Morgan’s “solid gold hub caps”, the honorable sheriff of Nottingham, wolves are always the villains.
Clucky is the sassy black woman; Maid Marian; the little critter children; blundering Friar Tuck.
The archery tournament: Sir Reginald Duke of Chutney, are you sick of the quotes yet?.
The scene & song that stops the momentum: “Love.”
“The Phony King of England”: jamming to Bluegrass all night; reused animation; becomes a top-40 hit overnight.
Songs: what is the best song?
Different versions of the DVD; alternate endings; the marriage!
We rate it!
Bloopers. Lots of out-of-context bloopers.
