More Robin Hood Designs by Milt Kahl

These Kahl drawings represent Robin Hood's earlier version based on Ken Anderson sketches.

Robin looks like a mischievous character actor, not the leading man type he turned out to be in the final version of the film. This is a more juvenile appearance with a skinny neck.

My guess is that Milt made these drawings to aid John Lounsbery, who originally was assigned to the lead fox character. 

Fantastic sketches as usual by the one and only Milt Kahl.

A few of these drawings have been posted here before, but these images are scans from originals, not xeroxes.

 

I have posted numerous Robin Hood visuals over the years. My favorite post remains this bizarre interview with Milt when he was promoting Robin Hood in Dallas:

Crazy Pelican Postman

I animated this scene from Who Framed Roger Rabbit about a hundred years ago.

These frames are from the start of the scene, which went on and on as the camera pans screen right to reveal life on a film studio's backlot.

This was the cartooniest animation I had done up to this point. I remember animating the brooms from Fantasia using live actin brooms sweeping the floor. All on ones. 

The brooms were also hopping along to the beat of The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

A ton of work, I had no weekends working on this film. No regrets. It was all worth it!
