- Overview
- Role in film
Robin Fitzooth, also known as Robin Hood, is the main protagonist of the 1952 live action Disney film, The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men. He is the leader of the Merrie Men, Hugh Fitzooth's son, Will Scarlet's cousin, and Maid Marian's lifelong childhood playmate friend, and love interest.
Robin Fitzooth is first seen practicing archery somewhere next to Huntingdon Manor until he notices and discovers his target is being messed around with by Maid Marian, the Earl of Huntingdon's daughter and his lifelong childhood friend. Robin bids Marian good-bye when she leaves with her father to Nottingham Castle, where Marian is to be left in the care of Queen Eleanor while the Earl and King Richard leave to join a Crusade and the King's brother, Prince John assumes command of the kingdom.
A few days later, an archery contest is organized by Prince John and his new Sheriff of Nottingham at the Nottingham fair to determine which archer is the best to serve Prince John and form an army of good arrow shooters under their command. Prince John and the Sheriff seem impressed with a competitor and one of the Sheriff's bowmen, Red Gill's archery skills during the game. Despite Red Gill's mockery, Robin still manages to shoot a straight bull's-eye. As it turns out, it's Robin's father, Hugh Fitzooth and Robin himself the winners. However, Robin gives his prize to Marian as he learns that she is leaving for London with the Queen. Nevertheless, knowing the Sheriff and Prince John's true nature and intentions, both defy and refuse to join and serve him; an act which aspires some other archers to follow Master Fitzooth's lead. In retaliation, the Sheriff sends some men to kill them (including Red Gill) after they have greeted the Queen and Marian but Red Gill only manages to succeed in killing Robin's father and then getting killed by Robin himself, thus, begins Robin's life as Robin Hood, an outlaw living in Sherwood Forest who steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
Days later, when Robin Hood learns that two men are to suffer a cruel punishment and torture from the Sheriff at Nottingham Square: Scathelock, who refused to reveal Robin Hood's whereabouts after the Sheriff stole his cattle since he had no more taxes to pay and Will Stutely, who was caught poaching a King's deer since the Sheriff starved him, Robin Hood and his new band of Merrie Men including his cousin, Will Scarlet (who learned of the affair through Robin's whistling arrow message) storm in to fight off the Sheriff and his men, save the two prisoners, and take them back to Sherwood Forest where they are made new members of his Merrie men; leaving the Sheriff and his men to be thrown food at them by the people's revolt.
The next morning, Robin Hood meets a strong man named John Little trying to cross a bridge to Sherwood Forest. The two duels with staff until John manages to knock Robin off the bridge and into the water. Impressed by his fighting skills and bravery and knowing that he seeks to join Robin Hood after his men return the favor by throwing him in water and "christen" him "Little John", Robin Hood accepts him in his band. When Robin Hood wishes they had a priest to join them, look after the wounded, and care for the poor, Little John mentions a churchman hermit he knows by the name of Friar Tuck who lives at Alford Abbey.
Near the abbey, Friar Tuck is drinking wine, eating, talking, and singing to himself until Robin Hood gives himself away when Friar Tuck hears him singing to his tune and catches him behind a tree the Friar was sitting on; thinking he was spying on him. The two men later force each other to carry one another on his back to get them across the stream and then have a little duel until they are ambushed by the Sheriff and his men. During the battle, Friar Tuck is rendered unconscious. Outnumbered, Robin calls for his men and they succeed in killing the Sheriff's men and capturing the Sheriff himself, who was being molested at the time by Friar Tuck's dog as he tried to escape.
Robin, his men, and the Friar take the Sheriff (blindfolded momentarily) back to Robin's lair where they force him to eat and drink to the good health of their King Richard, pay the taxes for all the troubles he caused (including the ones he inflicted on his two former prisoners), and later, send him off blindfolded again while riding his horse the other way around back to Nottingham Castle in order to give courage to the poor the Sheriff has persecuted.
