Young Robin Hood is a Sunday morning animated series produced jointly by Hanna-Barbera, Ruby Spears, and Cinar. It ran for two seasons as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera.
Summary[]
Deep in his Sherwood Forest hideout, fourteen-year-old Robin Hood is joined by his merry band of teenage allies as they rob the rich, give to the overtaxed poor—and have a kingdom full of fun while they're at it!
Trivia[]
- This is Hanna-Barbera's second cartoon based on the legend after the 1972 television special The Adventures of Robin Hoodnik, which was featured in The ABC Saturday Superstar Movie.
- This is the only Hanna-Barbera series to use a Canada-based voice cast.
- The first eight episodes feature the standard, still episode title card of Robin Hood on a turret in a kneeling pose as he prepares to fire an arrow from his bow. This was dropped beginning with "The Band Takes the Cake", as this and other, later episodes would instead feature the episodes' titles in colors that vary from episode to episode, superimposed over different scenes that also aren't stills at the beginning of them. This is rare and atypical for a Hanna-Barbera series.
