This is SPLENDID work. The pacing is amazing, the acting superb and engaging, and it really brings back some of that old animation magic! And the ending… love it! I would’ve loved to see this animated one day. But! If not a Robin Hood prequel, I am so excited to see what you will bring to the animation world! Here’s to bringing back 2D 💪
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 Have you never seen Disney's animated Robin Hood movie? The very first time Robin and Little John plot to rob Prince John's train of gold-laden tax wagons, they do so while dressed up as female fortune-telling gypsies. It's one of their more iconic cons in the movie.
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 The artist of the animatic created a little internal prequel story here: this is Robin trying to lure Little John into joining the Merry Men. So the OP here is making a little joke about how it's Robin's casual crossdressing (and Little John's clear intrigue at the concept, when he realizes who's before him) is what clearly cinched the deal. Have you never seen these in UA-cam comments before? I see these kinds of little "skit script" comments in all sorts of videos' comments.
The knowledge that people make fan works for Disney’s animated robin hood in the year of our lord 2024 is going to be my gateway drug into the furry fandom.
Oh, the fluidity on this is breathtaking. It's so full of life, and it's just... got such a classical, wondrous feeling to it. It really felt like I was watching an older Disney film. I've missed this nostalgia. Thank you for bringing something new in such a wonderfully warm way.
@@MiliFayArtso why the bear gay when he actually straight and what if he has regret and sadness and he self isolated from places that remind him of her and wants to explore but needs a friend
@@lawrup I’m not understanding this. Please clarify. I don’t think Little John is gay. He may be bi? I know Robin Hood is straight, since he deeply loves Maid Marian and is a one fox man.
This is amazing! I love the idea, Robin in undercover dress, Little John who is not one of the Merry Men yet, the tavern minor characters loving the show and some even joining in - it's so good!
@@annelessels8594 Can’t make promises. Another one of my classmates did do that song for his animatic, but I don’t think he posted it. It’s not with Robin Hood, but it was great.
@@annelessels8594 Not at all. If you do, please tag me (I’m pretty much mili.fay.art) everywhere and I’ll share. I can’t sow, so I’m always impressed by people who can create amazing costumes.
Love the little background characters picking up coins. The one who wanted to give Robin a flower getting a coin was so funny to me i kept playing it back 😆
I saw Brian Bedford onstage in 'The Importance of Being Earnest' IN DRAG no less. He was playing Lady Bracknell, and he used pretty much the same Lady-Fortune-Teller voice he used in Robin Hood.
👏👏👏👏👏 You get brownie points. Yes! I had only a couple of days of prep before I had to get into storyboarding. I thought it would be fun to dress Robin up as a sexy gypsy this time around and give a nod to Esmeralda.
@@MiliFayArt BTW gypsy is a derogatory word for the Romani people, they were given the same because at the time people thought they were from Egypt but there actually from India. Out of respect, I call them Romas or Romanis.
I so want to see this animated and released officially as adult animation series 😂😂😂 Thats the only unexpected prequel we need rn. This music video is good enough to literally be the whole movie/episode in a series.
Amazing! I love how fluid and full of energy Robin is in drag, but in shadow how he softens, knowing he's now in the open and in danger yet still he steps out into the light
@@MiliFayArt yup in the Australian broadway version and man i gotta give kudos to the animator for the movements and looks of Robin in "her" girl form, very alluring and to John too he is cool, i so want a sequel to this!!
I'm glad Robin Hood is getting a remake because it means more people will be checking out and talking about the original and it being one of Disney's more underrated movies it will finally get some more love it deserves, thanks for this beautiful animation
Apart from the spot on art style, perfect choreography and amazing setting and cinematography; The song and voice of Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron fits SO well with these characters. I can totally picture them having these types of singing voices for a younger version of Robin and Little John. This is an FANTATIC animatic. And look forward to seeing where this goes. Well done, seriously! Also, thanks for engraving the image of a sexy vixen version of Robin Hood into my brain. She'll sit next to Barista Bugs Bunny from now in my Hippocampus region. XD
This is an inspirational piece to all aspiring storyboard artists. Side note, now I want Robin Hood to be played by Hugh Jackman, and given the amount of characters he's voiced over the years, I could see him doing a great job and having a fun time.
Thank you for the kind compliment. Hugh Jackman and Zack Efron both. It would be so much fun. I think Disney owns The Greatest Showman as well, but I’m not sure about that.
I’m sure we all know the story of how Robin Hood and Little John first meet. It’s when they encounter one another on a log across a river and then challenge themselves to a quarterstaff duel and (depending on which version of it you see) either Robin or LJ win ending with them becoming friends. This video, however, presents a fresh musical take on this meeting in the sense of RH going in disguise inside an inn (presumably located in Nottingham) and tries to convince LJ (portrayed as a disgraced Crusader) into joining the Merry Men, ending with a cliffhanger. The disguise in question RH is wearing in this video appears to be an Easter egg resembling Esmeralda in Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, an interesting nod to another Disney classic. I’ve seen this video several times now and I find it to be an enjoyable interpretation of how RH and LJ would’ve met. It would be very interesting if this were extended into a full-blown prequel to one of my favorite Disney films.
Thank you. 😊 I would honestly love to see a 2D animated prequel of Robin Hood. How they met, became friends - we know John becomes an outlaw, too. I don’t have that that part of the story, yet. 😅
This is incredible, this looks as if it were pulled from Disney's storyboards and has so much of the movie's charm and whimsical nature, I love this so much! In the original lore of Robin Hood, he was a noble but he and his family had their lands and status unfairly taken from them. 😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing that. I do remember him coming from nobility, but I’m not sure if it’s from the actual book, or if it’s from one of the movies. Thank you for the compliments. 💕
@@MiliFayArttotally it’s nothing but fond memories of my grandparents house. The Rooster whistling and the Seven Dwarfs “HiHo” song are forever stuck in my brain eternally rent free
I loved it, I simply loved it. Among my ramblings, I've always thought about what a story would be like telling the origins of those two, as well as the romance between Marian and Robin.
As a huge fan of the film since I was very little, I absolutely LOVE this! I love everything from the concept idea, itself, the dramaturgy to the background art the expressions, the movements and just freaking everything! As a kid I wished to learn more about all the characters, their past, their conflicts and hardships and would have loved to see a serious telling of all this. This came very close.
I love this so much! The art is energetic, the sound design enhances the action, and the story is clear and so much fun! I think this is a great backstory for the dynamic duo that creatively blends elements from the original folklore (such as Robin and his men coming from well-to-do backgrounds) with new ideas (Robin and John's initially different approaches to fighting injustice). I think you captured the spirit of Robin Hood especially well. You got his mischievousness, playfulness, and charm to a T - but I think my favorite moment is when he takes off the dress and you see the change in his demeanor. He is still charismatic and fun-loving, but you can see a glimpse of something deeper underneath - something cunning and thoughtful and perhaps a little dangerous. Brilliant! And a loved all the little hidden shoutouts! Calling the pub The Lion, presumably after King Richard. Giving Robin an Esmeralda inspired dress. And, I haven't noticed anyone mention this one yet, but is Little John's outfit inspired by King Hubert from Sleeping Beauty? I love that movie, and it looks so similar! Anyway, thanks for sharing such a wonderful project with us! I hope your talent carries you wherever you want to go in the future!
Thank you so much! 😊 It takes time to write a long and thoughtful comment and I really appreciate it. I love including little Easter Eggs, so thanks for noticing. Now that you mention it, Little John’s outfit looks like King Hubert’s though that is just a coincidence. (Sleeping Beauty is what instigated my love for animation.) I actually found this amazing video on Medieval costumes and have used several as an inspiration. I would have credited it, but I cannot find it! It was via my studio account and since I am no longer there, I no longer have access to those bookmarks. 😅 If I do find it, I’ll share a link in my description.
So fun! Love the way this flows with the music and the characters reactions in tune with the rhythm is just awesome. Love how the bear in the cage looks like a trapped teddy bear and how then Little John gets seen through the bars. Almost a parallel to that trapped little teddy in the cage. Also, love the camera angles, and your use of shadows and lighting to tell the story. All of it is just so so so good 😊 Great Job!!! 💗 👏 💗
Wonder if Maid Marian taught him those dance moves? Possibly learning from playing dress up as kids. Meanwhile, across Sherwood, Maid Marian is probably having secret self-taught archery and swordfighting with Lady Cluck and once she's done she'll play the Captured Damsel In Distress with the local kids in order to learn how to undo rope knots or lock-picking.
That sounds like my Maid Marian - she is tougher than she looks. I was listening to The Greatest Showman (for the millionth time) and it occurred to me that a the “Rewrite the Stars” could work for Maid Marian and Robin Hood for this prequel.
@@MiliFayArt I'd imagine the kids would use an hourglass for Marian to escape her 'damsel binds' or she'll be 'interrogated' over Robin Hood's whereabouts ... with a feather. 😈🪶🐾🤣
I wish Disney would bring back more 2D, but they gotta do what they gotta do. It is a business. I really miss their classically animated movies, though. Especially musicals.
Omg i loved this, the song choice fits so well and we all know this Robin loves a good disguise. I love how it felt classic Disney yet the choreography had a modern flow to it. Beautiful work 😊
That Robin is doing his disguise thing for more than halfnof this just delights me Hahaha This was so great, what a cool youtube find!! The movent was great, the humor was great, the expressions and movement- AUGH! I'm in love
I am utterly in love with this! This is canon in my mind now, everything about this just fits the characters so well. The motions and expressions are fantastic, and the song suits the scenario strangely well. Absolutely amazing.
I was really confused by the choices of voices at first. Then thought, this is good and funny. But the ending... I honestly wasn't thinking of it and it all fit together. Well done.
Since i watched this animatic, I'm kinda obsessed with it. It's the best one I've seen with this song in UA-cam! The pace, the rythm, the expression of emotions in characters (the voices actually fit very well these two!) and bless me bagpipes as another classic disney character would say, it contains one of the best ideas for a prequel! It would be amazing to see this fully animated... and maybe a continuation with the other half of the song? 🤩
Y'know, l assumed from this animatic Little John was sorta like born or brought in to royalty so that way, it would be a cool contrast to his disguise earlier on in the movie. But l suppose that description fits in too. Awesome animatic, l was vibing with this.
I would pretty much appreciated it that, also the ammount on details from the movements is astonishing. Like my favorite bit it has to be Robin handling a admirer of his giving him flowers and a guy just passing by at the same time. 😂
In the original story, John Little was seeking Robinhood and his gang in Sherwood Forest, but he ran into a stranger who challenged him to a wrestling match just to see who was better. John Little overpowered the stranger who humbly accepted his defeat. The stranger revealed himself to be Robinhood and told John Little that Little John would be a better name for him and took Little John to meet the rest of the gang. The rest is history. I love this storyboard, however. It was really fun to watch.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it and also thank you for sharing the original story. I read Robin Hood when I was 8, so I don’t remember the book at all. If I can find an audio version in my library I may give it a listen again. I remember liking the book as a kid.
I can’t get over how beautiful and amazing this animation looks!!😍 Not only the song fits the story so perfectly but it also makes it look like a deleted scene from the original version ❤ Seriously @MiliFayArt Walt Disney studios should hire you 🤩
This is so Brill... whenever it pops up (which the algorithm is seeing frequently at the mo) I just have to watch again and it keeps getting better!! Brill animation, such fitting characterisation and narrative and... words fail
Wow!!!! That was incredible!! There is so much fun energy in your drawings; I could easily see this fully rendered as a showstopper number. The gestures are big when they need to be and subtle when they need to be. I love the scene setting and all the characters in the tavern. I laughed out loud when Robin took off his wig. XD You've earned yourself a new subscriber!
If this was officially the prequel of Robin hood and convincing Little John to join him while cross dressing. And the same artsyle, this would bring back Disney in its golden Renaissance age. I would definitely see it in theaters 😍😍😍😍
Back then men were performing as women! So his role as a pretty barmaid is historical and man he wears it quite well! Man Robin Hood was a fun and underated film, i so love to see Robina dance in animation!💚💚! Never saw the movie but the song is fun and man not since HSM did i ever liked Zac Efron singing, also love those lionesses too!😊
Its saddening how disney is just making joyless live actions of the old ips when theirs so many good examples of ways to refresh and give life to the great ip they have indoors. Instead of just relying on stars wars and marvel to pay the bills...😕
This was 👏 amazing! The timing with the music is outstanding! And the art... 🎉! This really looks like it could be in the original movie! Just... the way the characters flow around the storyboard! Ahhh! I wish i could give this more likes. I'll just leave a few extras here. 👍 👍 👍
@@MiliFayArt I- I'd rather current-day Disney not touch your beautiful work. But show me a crowdfunding campaign for you or an indie studio to handle it and I'll be on it SO FAST.

Thank you for the compliment. I would like to work in their story department.
@@keddakedda7939 I keep hoping they wake up and make great original stories. I did love Encanto and Zootopia.
I was really confused by the choices of voices at first. Then thought, this is good and funny. But the ending... I honestly wasn't thinking of it and it all fit together. Well done.
Thank you. ☺️
Since i watched this animatic, I'm kinda obsessed with it. It's the best one I've seen with this song in UA-cam! The pace, the rythm, the expression of emotions in characters (the voices actually fit very well these two!) and bless me bagpipes as another classic disney character would say, it contains one of the best ideas for a prequel! It would be amazing to see this fully animated... and maybe a continuation with the other half of the song? 🤩
Thank you for this kind comment. In these tough times, I really appreciate it. Maybe if it gets enough views, Disney will decide to make it? 😊
Y'know, l assumed from this animatic Little John was sorta like born or brought in to royalty so that way, it would be a cool contrast to his disguise earlier on in the movie. But l suppose that description fits in too.
Awesome animatic, l was vibing with this.
Thank you. I might post some beatboards to explain the story up to this point in the future.
I would pretty much appreciated it that, also the ammount on details from the movements is astonishing.
Like my favorite bit it has to be Robin handling a admirer of his giving him flowers and a guy just passing by at the same time. 😂
Impressive. Far better than most of what Disney's put out lately.
Thank you. That is a high compliment. 🥰
@@MiliFayArtIt's people like YOU that deserve to be in the House of Mouse right now.
@@MaveriKat I’ll contact their recruiter soon, so fingers crossed.
@@MiliFayArtHere's praying to your success!
This is absolutely fantastic, and just the sort of thing Robin would try. Kudos and huzzah!
Thank you. ☺️
Woah, absolute banger of a storyboard!
Now these are some skills that will take you places!
Thank you.☺️
Such a fantastic animatic! Great job!
Thank you. 😊
In the original story, John Little was seeking Robinhood and his gang in Sherwood Forest, but he ran into a stranger who challenged him to a wrestling match just to see who was better. John Little overpowered the stranger who humbly accepted his defeat. The stranger revealed himself to be Robinhood and told John Little that Little John would be a better name for him and took Little John to meet the rest of the gang. The rest is history.
I love this storyboard, however. It was really fun to watch.
Thank you. I’m glad you liked it and also thank you for sharing the original story. I read Robin Hood when I was 8, so I don’t remember the book at all. If I can find an audio version in my library I may give it a listen again. I remember liking the book as a kid.
Jackman as Robin, I'd watch that.
I was honestly thinking that, Jackman has a similar voice to the original Robin too
I can’t get over how beautiful and amazing this animation looks!!😍 Not only the song fits the story so perfectly but it also makes it look like a deleted scene from the original version ❤
Seriously @MiliFayArt Walt Disney studios should hire you 🤩
Thank you. I always loved classical Disney animation. I’ll send them my portfolio and we shall see if I’m good enough.
i luv it!!! this is what disney is missing. so beautifully creative and awesome.
Thank you. 💕💕💕
Oo da lally!!!! I would definitely love to see this!! Bravo!!!!!
Thank you. Maybe, if there is enough popular demand, Disney will let me run with it. 😊
This is so Brill... whenever it pops up (which the algorithm is seeing frequently at the mo) I just have to watch again and it keeps getting better!! Brill animation, such fitting characterisation and narrative and... words fail
🥰 Thank you for such a kind comment.
This would make a great sequel
Thanks 😊. Maybe someday…
it took me so long to realize it was Robin desguised
Well he is the master of disguise, so I wouldn’t feel too bad that it took you so long ;)
😊
I love the revival of this classic, with a spin! Please keep going!
Thank you. ☺️ If only I had the time…
I am blown away by your skill, this is insanely good!
Thank you. ☺️ Appreciate it.
Wow!!!! That was incredible!! There is so much fun energy in your drawings; I could easily see this fully rendered as a showstopper number. The gestures are big when they need to be and subtle when they need to be. I love the scene setting and all the characters in the tavern. I laughed out loud when Robin took off his wig. XD You've earned yourself a new subscriber!
🥰 Awww… Thank you. I really appreciate the support.
The amount of money I'd pay to see this fully animated 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
If Disney funds and lets me take on the project, I’m game.
If this was officially the prequel of Robin hood and convincing Little John to join him while cross dressing. And the same artsyle, this would bring back Disney in its golden Renaissance age. I would definitely see it in theaters 😍😍😍😍
Thank you. I would love to see a prequel when they were younger and just forming the Merry Men, too.
This is fantastic. I'd love to see it fully animated but even this gets the idea across.
Thank you. ☺️
Please make a part two!
If I can, I will. I have a lot of other videos to finish first. 🤗
Well done the arrow ending was a nice touch 👏🏹
Thank you. ☺️
I love everything about this
Thank you. 😊
Wow this was great! The spirit of the song and the setting were gold
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I like the detail of Robin giving the coin to someone else.
Thank you. I was trying to make it subtle as part of his character. Glad you caught it.
This is amazing!!! 🦊🐻
Thank you. 😊
This was great 👍Please continue making more! 💖
Thanks. Fates willing.
Really good story board
Thank you. ☺️
That's really cool! I'm looking forward to the finished project!
I’m afraid this is it. This animatic was created for my Story Artist portfolio. 🤗
This desperately needs to be fully animated.
Maybe one day…
Brilliant video. Put my favourite Disney animation of Robin Hood and Hugh Jackman song (with Zac Efron) which I enjoyed very much. Perfect choice
Not much choice on my part, but I loved working on this project. I’m still not sick of the song. 😊
Still loving this video, brilliant work
Back then men were performing as women! So his role as a pretty barmaid is historical and man he wears it quite well! Man Robin Hood was a fun and underated film, i so love to see Robina dance in animation!💚💚!
Never saw the movie but the song is fun and man not since HSM did i ever liked Zac Efron singing, also love those lionesses too!😊
Thank you. I really enjoyed working on this assignment, too. It was so much fun. Wish I had time to create more. 😅
At first, I thought Robin in disguise was an ACTUAL woman. But was SURPRISED to find out it was him. You had us (or me) in the first half. 😅😅😅
Thank you. I’m glad it worked. 😁
@@MiliFayArt Trust me, it did BIGTIME. 😌😅👍🏽
Its saddening how disney is just making joyless live actions of the old ips when theirs so many good examples of ways to refresh and give life to the great ip they have indoors. Instead of just relying on stars wars and marvel to pay the bills...😕
I would love to see a robin hood prequel where he's enlisting his merry men.
Me, too.
This was 👏 amazing! The timing with the music is outstanding! And the art... 🎉! This really looks like it could be in the original movie! Just... the way the characters flow around the storyboard! Ahhh! I wish i could give this more likes. I'll just leave a few extras here. 👍 👍 👍
🤣 Thank you, so much. I really appreciate it. >>HUGGS
Broooooo what I would not do to see this cleaned up to final form.
Maybe if Disney ever decides to create the movie…
@@MiliFayArt I- I'd rather current-day Disney not touch your beautiful work. But show me a crowdfunding campaign for you or an indie studio to handle it and I'll be on it SO FAST.
@@avivagodfrey Awww… Thanks. That’s a very high compliment. I’m thinking of making my own short considering the state of the industry. However, OC and original story of course. 😏
@@MiliFayArt (if he stays this cool and sexy I don't think you'll find any objections, tbh. 8D)
Loving this storyboard, and awesome video!
Thank you, I really appreciate your comment. 😊
@@MiliFayArt Your very welcome, MiliFay.
I love this animation, it is really awesome
Thank you. 💕
So, this is the story of how Robin Hood recruited Little John in the Disney version.
My take on it, yes.
This is really well done! Great work!
Thank you. 😊
my face at watching all of this:😯😳🙈🤯😁😗☺🤩😍😮😁😼
beautiful, loved everything the background, poses and movement, expressions, lip sync , incredible, masterful👏
Awwww… Thank you. 🥰💕💕💕
One of my fav songs with an amazing animation 💕
Thank you. ☺️
Robin's gypsy costume I very interesting he look like esmeralda.
That was intentional. I thought it would be a fun Easter Egg. 😊
