Disney’s Robin Hood was first released on November 8, 1973.

During the “Phony King of England” segment in the forest the illustrators referred to previous Disney films for inspiration. Maid Marian’s dance movements are copied from both “Snow White” and “Duchess” (The AristoCats (1970)). The animals playing the various instruments are lifted almost verbatim from “The Aristocats.” Also, the dance between Little John and Lady Cluck is lifted from the dance between Baloo and King Louie in The Jungle Book (1967).
