I have heard it said that Kevin Costner vetoed some scenes where Alan Rickman completely outshone him - but that would not have been difficult to do. Costner's performance as Robin Hood was indeed 'lack lustre'. One thing struck me about this film was their use of real locations which Walt Disney realised wasn't on. It didnt work at all. It just showed the work of Peter Ellenshaw in creating the illusions and the wonderful studio sets by Carmen Dillon ensured a perfect mediaeval feel to the Walt Disney film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-3520014731547745132008-09-20T08:26:00.000-07:002008-09-20T08:26:00.000-07:00I shall do some more hunting to find out.If anyone...I shall do some more hunting to find out.<BR/><BR/>If anyone out there knows if Perce Pearce worked for the British Film Industry after leaving the Disney Organisation, please get in touch.Clement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-64813029062298604062008-09-20T06:13:00.000-07:002008-09-20T06:13:00.000-07:00Following your information on Perce Pearce, I have...Following your information on Perce Pearce, I have warmed to him in that he seems to have been quite a character and also a very kind man. He must have been very close to Walt Disney and was entrusted with Treasure Island (costing 1.8 million dollars to make in those days - a huge figure) and later The Story of Robin Hood with a budget of at least that, and the next two films. I have the impression that Rob Roy did not fare anything like as well at the Box Office. Perce Pearce then made the decision to live in England which is very nice to hear. Sadly he didn't live very long after these films. It is a pity because he must have had so much to offer. When he finished working for Walt Disney, I wonder if he did work for anyone else in the British Film Industry. Does anyone know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553543872920431955.post-16194047089848120732008-09-19T10:54:00.000-07:002008-09-19T10:54:00.000-07:00Alan RickmanSheriff of NottinghamRobin Hood Prince...Alan Rickman<BR/>Sheriff of Nottingham<BR/>Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991)Clement Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116966238223089211noreply@blogger.com
