Robin Hood - 28

The Original Film

Fun Fact: This is my little sister’s favorite film ever. As for me, it’s within my top five Disney films. As such, it’s surprising that this film has never seen a real soundtrack release since its initial record. Despite being beloved by many and an entry point for the Robin Hood mythos for many, many people over the years. 

Notably, famed country music singer Roger Miller was brought in to voice the character Alan-A-Dale. He wrote and preformed many of the songs within the film,with a few notable exceptions. 

1. “Whistle-Stop” - Roger Miller (Roger Miller)
2. “Oo De Lally” -Roger Miller (Roger Miller) 
3. “Love” - Nancy Adams ( Floyd Huddleston and George Bruns )
4. “The Phony King of England” - Phil Harris ( Johnny Mercer )
5. “The Phony King of England Reprise” -Terry-Thomas and Pat Buttram
6. “Not In Nottingham” -Roger Miller  (Roger Miller)

Crossover Album 

Louis Prima, the voice of King Louie from The Jungle Book, made a record for Disney which served as a crossover between the two films. Louis would narrate and sings songs from Robin Hood as the character of King Louie. The album was called Let’s “Hear” it For Robin Hood and it included a few new songs as well. 

1. “King Louie and Robin Hood" - Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses 
2. “Robin and Me” - Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses 
3. “Sherwood Forest” - Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses
4. “Friar Tuck” - Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses

6. “Robin Hood” - Louis Prima, Sam Butera & The Witnesses 

Live Action Adaptation 

Actually, unlike most movies in this marathon, Robin Hood is an animated adaptation of a live action film rather than the other way around. The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men was released by Disney almost two decades before their animated version, back in 1952.
