WDAS TAGTEAM TWEET-ATHON MOVIE #21: ROBIN HOOD (1973)
So, uh, any particular reason as to why they were all animals? Outside of a few visual gags they don’t really give a reason for it. I guess it’s a stylistic choice, but it doesn’t do much for me.
....pretty good movie tho.
All the movies so far haven’t been especially “funny”. This one...ain’t that funny either but it’s funnIER! It’s got some great timing in places. Also, it’s a joy to watch Prince John act like the self-righteous jerk he is.
I think that the only thing that’s holding the storytelling back is the fact that it IS a Robin Hood movie. Robin Hood works better in an episodic style. This is because he is a character who is defined by how he’s never finished with his work.
That explains why the pacing feels off. It doesn’t quite feel like two movies stitched together, but it feels like there’s two story arcs in one package
That being said, the story itself isn’t entirely bad, just messy. It fufills the themes that come with the character of Robin Hood....
....well most of the time. The rich and powerful are made fun of a lot, but the conflict ends just because of different rich people.
In the end, it’s about average. It’s got some good moments, but it’s also got some flawed aspects.
I have watched this YTP like 8 times or so. This is one of the most ambitious youtubepoops I have seen. The sound mixing and blend of animation with live action is so well done. The guy who made this spend basically a whole year making it and it really shows. I highly recommend checking it out so much!
Used audio from Ghetto Demigod's Sonic the Ghetto-hog Ep. 8 which was one of my fave abridged episodes by him so I made this video in tribute to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yfTk...
-------------------------
The story goes as follows - Roboshooter Gaiden played a prank on Akira Amachi and is running from him, knowing that he'll snitch on the other Robot pilots. Winner Robos managed to get a hold of their best bodyguard - Honey Kisaragi who has a form that can alter machines - Hurricane Honey for protection and insurance despite Gaiden being bigger. Hilarity ensues.

This was made years ago during the release of Avengers: EndGame so Roboshooter Commander/Gaiden was referencing that movie when it was out. The audio is just hilarious and to have robots calling Honey 'Vegeta' is gonna be hilarious yet lazy at the same time.
This video is uploaded here now with the knowledge of me watching a video by HourofPoop called 'Friar's Rubbing Wood' which had excellent sound mixing and I really think I can hit that one in the future. Though this video I made does remind me a lot of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5Cl... This was made in After Effects, Photoshop and yeah, this is a fan animation to say the least. Enjoy.
