Splitting Arrows, Episode 14



"How in a fair and just world is this movie so under the radar? This movie was great ... it was really good. The performances are excellent, the costumes are great, the sets are lavish, and the matte paintings are well done."

These were just a few comments from Episode 14: Splitting Arrows - A Dedicated Lack of Foxes in Disney's Story of Robin Hood in 1952.
 

This is an available podcast that is part of a series of discussions on the various interpretations of the legend in movies and television down the years.  Episode 14, with Richard Hopkins-Luntz and Mike Nichols, is dedicated to The Story of Robin Hood. And my blog gets a special mention!

Not only do they give a link to my blog and Facebook Page, but they also discuss how I have uniquely delved deeply into every aspect of Disney's Story of Robin Hood in well over 800 posts. 

These podcasts can be found on YouTube, Spotify etc.

During the first few minutes of the podcast, they describe The Story of Robin Hood as "Walt Disney's unknown Robin Hood".

Hopefully, after Seventy-Two years, this wonderful film is finally getting the recognition it deserves. 

Thanks guys!
