Disney has targeted Robin Hood as the latest of its animated classics to get the remake treatment.
Carlos Lopez Estrada, perhaps best known for directing the 2018 crime movie Blindspotting, is on board to helm the project, which is being written by Kari Granlund. Granlund already is in the Disney fold after having written the studio’s recent remake of Lady and the Tramp.
Justin Springer, who counts the studio’s Dumbo and Tron Legacy among his credits, is producing the feature being developed for the studio’s Disney+ streaming service.
Robin Hood was a comedic and musical take on the famous tale, with anthropomorphic animals inhabiting the roles of the characters made famous over the centuries. Hood was a fox; Little John, a bear; Friar Tuck, a badger; Prince John, a thumb-sucking lion; the sheriff of Nottingham, a wolf; and Maid Marian, a vixen.

He (or she) will probably take from the poor and give to the rich.
As with clonings, each copy is not nearly as good as the original.
Oh man I had that in this little viewmaster rip off, looked kind of like a super 8, put a cartridge in, spin the handle and animated movie. You could run it backwards. I remember the bowmanship competition looked really cool backwards. I’ve never seen the actual movie.
Stupid Bitch!
The Errol Flynn “Robin Hood” is the definitive version.

Correct. I watched it last night, and even after 82 years it still holds up. Of all the original actors, only Olivia De Havilland still lives.
Another remake?
This makes at least 10 Robin Hood movies since the one with Errol Flynn
or Tyrone Power.
I bet Robin will be bisexual and his merry men will be gay. Maid Marion will be a tranny and the sheriff will be an evil straight guy.
Just as long as Bryan Adams isn’t on the soundtrack.
I used to get Bryan Adams mixed up with Bryan Ferry, the lead singer from Roxy Music. Similar, but not the same.
I’m sure the prevalence of feminism, trannies, and black people in Merry Olde England will be historically accurate.
Gay or Trany. Place your bets.
The new Lady and the Tramp was terrible. I couldn’t get past 15 minutes. There is a reason it never went to the theaters.
Plus, why try to do this? The turnabout was having animals instead of people in a story that has been done many many times before and since. What would CGI add to this?
The Bangles and Bananarama are the two I always got confused.
I’ll stick with the 1939 version with Errol Flynn. Is Maid Marion is still alive??
Gotta be quick around here to go with the first thought that comes to mind on the general direction of Hollyweird...all of you are right on the mark on the gay/PC requirements these days.
Eugene Pallette as Friar Tuck!!
