"Welcome to Sherwood Forest!"

 

"Don't you worry, never fear....."
Do you know the rest of that line? It's from a favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon released in 1949 and has a great cameo at the end! I had to find and watch it as I recently came across an article online about cartoons that were pitched at Warner Bros. but rejected. Was fascinated to learn that the pitch included a cel-set up! There were a few interesting thoughts, but I was immediately drawn to "The Misadventures of Robin Hood" I would have loved to have seen this one.

Warner Bros. pitch

So, since I did my Disney version that was heavily influenced by the poster/DVD cover to the Errol Flynn classic, "The Adventures of Robin Hood", I thought it would be fun to turn that around. I picked the most iconic picture from the Disney classic and decided to use that for an animated version of Errol Flynn.
