It's two in the morning and I'm watching Disney's Robin Hood. Two observations:

1. This movie is a lot better in the undubbed version. (Fellow Belgians will understand this--the Dutch version is terrible.) The jokes actually make sense!
2. Last time I watched this movie was when I was home over Christmas, with my brothers, while rather drunk and slightly high. It was the first time I'd seen it since childhood (my brother and I could still say the lines right along with the tape), and I remember suddenly seeing smut everywhere. I blamed the alcohol and the pot. It ... wasn't the alcohol or the pot. Seriously, this movie is so the reason for furries.

Robin Hood in that is weirdly cute. I HATE MYSELF.

That movie is responsible for entire GENERATIONS of children growing up completely warped, let me tell you what. Because he IS!

I still have the double LP of the radio play version (pretty much movie soundtrack with storyteller voiceover). Ooh-de-la-lay!

I've listened to that again and again since I was five. It means nothing.

In German or in English? (Is the German dubbed version as bad as the Dutch one?)

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

In german. And I don't know, I would need to see the english version. I know they have put a lot of effort in the german dub, but I'm not sure how well it worked.

Huh. The Dutch version is abysmal, and they basically haven't redone the dubbing at all since the original version. (The whole Dutch vs Flemish thing doesn't help, of course.) They basically didn't bother to even try and translate half of the jokes, the songs don't rhyme, ...

[ashenmote.livejournal.com]

They got Reinhard Mey for the music and the Allan A'Dale role (a famous german balladeer, don't know if you ever heard about him, he's pretty abysmal now, but he was rather good back then and definitely up to the task.) I've checked the imdb quotes page to get an impression of the english version and I think they came up with adequate replacement jokes when direct translations were impossible. Still, I want to see the english version now.

Dude, I know. And the thing that really cracks me up is that Robin (and everyone else) isn't presented in the usual (American) totally sexless funny animal way, but like a regular Prince Charming figure. Someone the young kid watching is supposed to want to fall in love and run away with. And that cracks my shit up.

I ... I'm slashing Prince John/Robin Hood. "It's Robin Hood I want!" UST PEOPLE! save me omg

Someone on JF, I think, has an icon of the scene where Robin's in chains, with the caption "OMG furry bondage!" SO TRUE!

(*does Vulcan finger thing* No help for you. Is not logical, dude.)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

NO! SAD, BAD, SICK AND WRONG! (Also, "Little" John, hehehehe, so many jokes, so little time ...)

(I'm furryfying Firefly! Fandom at large is about to come and BEAT MY HEAD IN with a large wooden spoon!)

Its true though, Robin Hood in that movie is a hot fox!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

GENERATIONS of children have been warped! Where's Fred Phelps when you need him, huh?

[dzayde.livejournal.com]

Its scary how Disney does that... even Tramp was hot.

[carelessmemory.livejournal.com]

It's the sexy fangs! Um. Or so I've heard. :p

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

*sncker* But yes, the fangs!

[jamaisneutral.livejournal.com]

It's slash beyond belief!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I know, right? And seriously, the Dutch version completely butchered the jokes!

Hey, go right ahead! I don't generally mind anyone adding me, though I do sometimes wonder why.

(I love your icon!)

Robin Hood was always one of my favorite Disney movies (I still have it on video), but I haven't watched it in YEARS. I[m kinda afraid of what I might notice now . . .

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

You should watch it, it's great! :D
