00:01Ouch!
00:02My foot!
00:03Oh!
00:04What's this?
00:05Someone standing on my ear!
00:21Well, now, what do we have here?
00:24It looks as though the woodchopper has dropped a nest of squabbling birds.
00:27Robin Hood, you great rogue, this is your work.
00:30Well, I see this batch of birds is cuckoos.
00:35You'll forgive me if I don't tarry, but I have no need of rotten eggs today.
00:46Reichen Bass presents Festival of Family Classics.

01:12Features and fables will story tell.
01:15Each classic creation in new animation.
01:19Today's presentation will be...
01:26A classic tale of action and adventure.
01:30Robin Hood.
01:31So bring on the whole family
01:37Oh, my God.
02:02Know ye all citizens of Nottinghamshire,
02:05a reward is offered for the capture of the outlaw,
02:08Robin Hood.
02:09This man is wanted.
02:27Robin Hood.
02:29The very name sends my heckles up.
02:32Even my sleep is disturbed by this villain.
02:34Aye, my lord, he is most troublesome.
02:36Troublesome? You speak light of the rogue.
02:39At the very least, he is the cause of all rebellion in Nottinghamshire.
02:42And worse, now his deviltry spreads beyond the north country.
02:46Soon even the king will hear of him, God forbid.
02:49It's true, his band grows by the day.
02:51They talk of freedom and attack our tax collectors boldly.
02:54It is a dangerous day when the poor rise up against their betters.
02:58Mm-hmm. That day will end with the fellow's capture.
03:00My spies place him hereabout.
03:02And our bait of the gaudy messenger will attract the fox.

09:36Yes, yes. Go ahead.
09:39Forward, Cecil. Fall!
09:44Whoa!
09:47Oh, I'm bruised for life!
09:52We beg your pardon, friar? Cecil was only playing.
09:55Oh, playing? That beast has kept me from sitting for a week.
10:03Oh, what's a little lad like you doing alone in these woods?
10:08I'm off to capture the outlaw, Robin Hood.
10:11What? Capture Robin Hood?
10:14Now, I'd say that's quite an order for a little boy and a big dog.
10:20Even one who can tree an old friar.
10:23But you've come to the right place, let me assure you.
10:27What's this, friar Tuck? Recruiting a new disciple or catching a runaway altar boy?
10:33Neither, friend. This is a young knight on a quest.
10:38He has vowed to capture Robin Hood.
10:41Well, what do we have here?
10:46A flea to bite the toe of a bear?
10:50Tell me, sir, flea.
10:52How do you intend catching your bear?
10:55Show me.
10:57Please, sir. I don't wish to harm you.
10:59Carefully now, John. He has your measure.
11:02Treat him easy, lad. He breaks like glass.
11:05Remember, John, a flea can jump under the stoutest armor.
11:09Come now, lad. Don't be afraid to damage me.
11:12You must try your attack.
11:14As you say, sir.
11:15Will someone get this pile of fur off me?
11:35Well, little John, the flea has truly toppled the bear.
11:39Are you ready to give in?
11:42Indeed.
11:43May I never have to go up against this fierce warrior in battle?
11:48He did best me fairly.
11:51Little John speaks the truth, lad.
11:53Robin Hood should beware.
11:55But tell me, who are you?
11:57And why do you seek to capture this outlaw?
11:59I am Willa Green, son of Georgia Green, the woodcutter.
12:03Today in the woods, my father cut a great tree,
12:06and by accident, it fell on the sheriff's men.
12:09They accuse him of being in the outlaw's pay
12:11and mean to kill him on the morrow.
12:14And they will spare him if Robin Hood is captured
12:16and exchanged for his life.
12:18That is why I seek him.
12:20Your quest is just, Willa Green.
12:22But now I must tell you that you have indeed found Robin Hood
12:26and captured him.
12:28Robin Hood?
12:29That's right, boy.
12:30It was I the sheriff's men sought to kill today in the forest.
12:33But I did not know of your father's arrest.
12:36We shall leave at once for the castle,
12:38and there we shall exchange my life for your father's.
12:40Is this wise, Robin?
12:42We know what the sheriff's word is worth.
12:45Nothing.
12:46Better to storm the castle.
12:48Right.
12:49Let's attack.
12:49Hear me.
12:52If we attack, then Will's father may die.
12:55We cannot chance this.
12:57We came to these deep woods to escape the injustice of the sheriff and his like.
13:02They call us outlaws,
13:03but we take only from those who have stolen from us
13:05and share it with all.
13:08Each of you was driven here for a different reason.
13:11For some, it was the oppression of the landholders.
13:13Others, the dishonesty of the taxes.
13:15Others, and all have felt the cruelty of the law.
13:18Now, we fight for a new thing.
13:21Freedom in this hard time.
13:23But one thing we have in common,
13:25and that is honor.
13:28Rich or poor, fair play for all,
13:31honor to him whom honor is due.
13:33We cannot allow another man to suffer in our place.
13:37Now, stand to, and we march for the castle.
13:40Have no fear, young Will.
13:42You and your father will be under the same roof tonight.
13:45Here, walk beside me,
13:46that I may have a brave yeoman to protect my good right arm.
13:55Easy now, lads.
13:56We're getting close.
13:59Well now, O'Leslie,
14:00the time has come for a display of your marksmanship.
14:04Look there, Robin.
14:05That'd be the sheriff and his foul crew.
14:07Yes, and his head archer, William O'Leslie.
14:09The other must be...
14:10It's my father.
14:12They've chained him.
14:13What do they mean to do?
14:16Now I think it is time to get our target in place.
14:19Off with him!
14:20They take farther toward the targets.
14:23What will they do?
14:24Only one thing, I fear.
14:26I must be closer.
14:27The rest stay behind and hold the dog.
14:30Cecil, stay there.
14:32Robin, wait for me!
14:34All right, Sir Flea,
14:36but stay down and be quiet.
14:39Quickly now, O'Leslie.
14:40I have other, more lively hunting to be off to this day.
14:44What's this?
15:04I've come here for a trade, Sheriff.
15:06My life for that of the woodcutter, Georgia Green.
15:09Fair enough.
15:10A minnow for a whale.
15:11Oh, Leslie, have the prisoner brought here.
15:14The rest of you stand ready.
15:17Come in, Robin Hood.
15:18You have my word.
15:20I bring you tidings from Sherwood.
15:22Your subjects there prosper in the free air.
15:24I mean to see that they all visit me.
15:27I bide my time.
15:28Time you have little of, my lord.
15:31Freedom is a thing that is catching,
15:32and soon all here will clamor for it.
15:34I would guess that your body pinned to yonder target
15:38would discourage that.
15:39But we must wait until it is advertised,
15:42and the whole of the town witnesses the act.
15:45Guards, seize these three and bear them to the dungeon.
15:48Wait now!
15:49You gave your word to release this man at my capture.
15:52Not capture.
15:53You spoke the words yourself.
15:55His life for yours.
15:56Until that life has indeed departed,
15:59he and this boy will remain in my charge.
16:01Take them off!
16:04I knew it.
16:12I knew it.
16:13That devil, the sheriff,
16:14couldn't be trusted with a collection plate in God's church.
16:18He's taken them all, just as I warned.
16:20And you can bet that by the morrow,
16:22two men will be against the targets.
16:23Two?
16:24I'd wager two men and a boy.
16:27Hold, you beast!
16:28Hold!
16:29Quickly, then, let's attack.
16:30A surprise rush may take them.
16:31Are you daft?
16:32There's two score of them.
16:34By the time we reached Arrow's length, we'd be cut to pieces.
16:38Tuck's right.
16:39I say wait until dark, then scale the castle.
16:42Better we pull up the others and...
16:44Stop him!
16:44Stop him!
16:45Somehow we must get word to our friends if they are to help us.
17:01That window, if we could reach it...
17:04I could whistle for Cecil.
17:06He could lead them to us.
17:08Hmm.
17:08It's worth a try, young Will.
17:11If George climbs to my shoulders and you to his,
17:14we might just reach it.
17:16Come on, let's try.
17:22I'm almost there.
17:25Now I've got a hold of the bar.
17:27Cecil, boy, here!
17:44Will, hear that?
18:08Could it be...
18:10Cecil, he's digging under the wall.
18:12Listen, he must be right behind this stone wall.
18:18Quick, lad.
18:19Let's see if we can pull these stones away.
18:21George, give us a hand.
18:28Pull harder.
18:29I can feel this one move.
18:30All is in readiness, my lord.
18:35The word has been carried round the town
18:36and the people await the execution at the archery field.
18:39Good.
18:40It is best this thing is done quickly before his band can rally.
18:43Call the guards.
18:44We will fetch him.
18:48Cecil, you did it.
18:50You saved us.
18:51We're not saved yet, lad.
18:52Quick, into the tunnel.
18:54What's that?
18:57The tunnel's collapsing.
19:02Quickly, quickly.
19:04They may be escaping.
19:07Why don't we go over our heads in a minute?
19:10Get that door open, man.
19:12Hurry.
19:14It's stuck, sir.
19:15Hang on.
19:29Please!
19:34Let him drive!
19:40Let him drive!
19:44Robin, here! Hurry! Run! Run!
19:57Tell us, Robin, how did you do it? How did you escape?
20:01It was easy, Little John. A great wave brought us out safely on the top of a table.
20:06What? Oh, that's our Robin. Always joking.
20:14Some joke!
20:44Now you and your father are truly members of our band, Willa Green, and rightly so. None have shown more courage.
20:59Don't forget Cecil.
21:01Yes, indeed. Where is that great furry beast?
21:06Stop! Stop! Stop! Look out!
21:09Set aside!
21:16Stop! Stop!
21:18Help!
21:20Stop!
21:21Stop!
21:22Stop!
21:23Stop!
21:24Stop!
21:25Stop!
21:26Stop!
21:29Stop!
21:33Stop!
21:34Stop!
22:35A classic tale of action and adventure, Robin Hood.
22:55So bring on the whole family.
23:01A classic tale of action and adventure, Robin Hood.

24:55Ouch, my foot!
24:57Who's band is bad?
24:58What's this?
24:58Someone's standing on my ears!
25:02Oh, my goodness!
25:04Put yourself in standing on my foot!
25:08Oh, my goodness!
25:11Put yourself in standing on my foot!
25:14Well, now, what do we have here?
25:17It looks as though the woodchopper has dropped a nest of squabbling birds.
25:21Robin Hood, you great rogue, this is your work.
25:24Well, I see this batch of birds is cuckoos.
25:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
