Yeah. It’s like the “20 Things You Didn’t Know About Aladdin” list that claimed Robin Williams as Genie was the first big star in an animated movie. I could list a few, but really… it wasn’t even Williams’s first animated movie.

Best Disney compilation ever. Running the gamut from the Replacements to Yma Sumac. Highlight might be Tom Waits turning Heigh Ho into a dirge.

Ditto. . . but, I think my opinion is solely based upon my exposure to and love for the movie.

I love Robin Hood. Major crush on that fox when I was a kid. Maybe still. :o Not in Nottingham is quite nice, as is the song from the very begininnig–Oodelally or whatever it is.
