Inspired by Zootopia's Nick! Complete YouTube Playlist of Songs from Disney's "Robin Hood"

Have you ever seen Disney's Robin Hood?

Have you all seen the Disney movie Robin Hood???

Robin Hood is a feature-length animation that was released in the United States in 1973 and in Japan in 1975.

The story features a cool fox as the protagonist, dressed in green clothes and a hat, wielding a bow and arrow.*

(He also served as a model for Nick, the fox in Zootopia!)

It is slightly less known than princess stories and other character films, but...

As a rare character, it remains very popular among core fans and long-time admirers♩

The original tale of Robin Hood is the medieval English legend of "Robin Hood," a piece of oral literature.

This story of the noble thief has been passed down for centuries since the 13th century, and when the decision was made to adapt it into a movie by Disney, the protagonist was reimagined as a fox based on the French literature "The Tale of the Fox."*

The Story of Robin Hood*

The movie Robin Hood tells the story of Robin Hood, a fox who lives in England, and his partner Little John, who takes money from the wealthy and shares it with the poor, adding a social aspect to the tale.

They are targeted by the evil King Prince John, but while enjoying their escape as a game, they strive to bring back the good King Richard.*

Here, I will introduce all five songs featured in the Robin Hood movie with lyrics.

Whether you've seen the movie or not, please enjoy listening to them♩

Song from Robin Hood #1: Whistle-Stop

Whistle-Stop is the theme song that plays during the movie's opening. It features a cheerful melody that feels very Disney-like, with birds whistling.*

It seems that this song is also played around Tom Sawyer Island at Disneyland, so many of you may find it familiar♩

Song from Robin Hood #2: Oo De Lally

Oo De Lally is a comical song that plays while Robin Hood and his partner Little John are escaping from Prince John's henchmen.

It features a jazzy melody, and watching it alongside the visuals makes it quite amusing.*

Here is the Japanese version♩

Song from Robin Hood #3: Not In Nottingham

Not In Nottingham is a slightly sentimental song sung by a rooster named Alan-a-Dale.

The scenes of animals living in poverty and being exploited by the evil king are truly sad... It leaves a lingering impression with its memorable vocals.*

Song from Robin Hood #4: The Phony King of England

The Phony King of England is an upbeat and cheerful song where the animals joyfully sing and dance.*

The lyrics contain irony directed at the evil King Prince John, making you want to move along with them♩

Here is the Japanese version "The Fake King"♩

Song from Robin Hood #5: Love

The final song I would like to introduce is Love, a love song between Robin Hood and Maid Marian♡

This gentle and calm melody plays when they are on a date in the forest.*

It could be the perfect BGM for a wedding's romantic moments♩

Here is the Japanese version♩

Please be sure to check out Robin Hood＊

Despite having a production budget that was only about half that of The Aristocats’ Marie, Robin Hood is still a beloved tale.*

Both the story and the music are wonderful, so be sure to enjoy it with your husband at least once.

Number ⑤, Love, would be perfect as BGM for a wedding♡
