~ Robin Hood handing Mother Rabbit a bag of coins. |
Robin Hood is the titular main protagonist of Disney's 21st full-length animated feature film of the same name.
Although Robin Hood is often shown as an outlaw who chooses to rob from the rich to help the poor people in this animated version he is shown mainly attacking Prince John and his agents who have impoverished Nottingham with high taxes.
Robin Hood and Little John steal the tax caravans and give it back to the peasants while trying to avoid capture by both Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham.
He was voiced by the late Brian Bedford in the original film. In Once Upon a Studio, he is voiced by Daniel Wolfe.
