Merrie Christmas


 


Merrie Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Thank you for visiting the Facebook page and this blog down the years and keeping the memory of this wonderful film alive. 

If you would like to see Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men (and I thoroughly recommend you do) it is now available on Disney+ streaming service.

Joan's Premiere Skirt


70 years ago Walt Disney's live action movie The Story of Robin Hood and his Merrie Men had its premiere in London at the Leicester Square Theatre. Here is our lovely Joan Rice (1930-1997) wearing a specially designed skirt for the occasion. 




I wonder what happened to that skirt? 

It was possibly designed by Walt Disney's promotional team. The newspapers described Joan arriving in a limousine with Robin Hood motifs along the trim of her tulle skirt. Her velvet bodice was in Lincoln Green, of course!
