Behind the Scenes

Here’s a glimpse into some rare behind-the-scenes moments at Denham Studios in Buckinghamshire, captured during the production of Walt Disney’s 1952 film The Story of Robin Hood. First, we see the talented art director Carman Dillon demonstrating camera movements in front of the Nottingham Castle set to Walt Disney. Next is Joan Rice arriving at the studio on her bicycle—likely the same one she kept falling off, according to director Ken Annakin. 

Annakin himself appears in the following image, directing the scene where King Richard departs for the Crusades. Finally, we catch a moment with Friar Tuck’s dog resting before his spirited chase after the Sheriff.
