Continuity mistake: In the scene just after Robin Hood jumps from the top of the burning castle, Skippy, the little boy rabbit is hanging on to Little John's arm. He first has three fingers and a thumb, then after a brief shot of the water, he has four fingers and a thumb. He switches back to three fingers and a thumb a few shots later.

Revealing mistake: After the jailbreak, a number of reaction shots for which the shot background is the villagers in the speeding wagon, not only do they not "bounce" with the wagon, they are not even animated.

Robin corrects the arrow's angle with another shot and the arrow also hits the bull's eye, splitting the Sheriff's arrow. But since it approached from an angle, there's no way it could split it right the way down the length of it.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Maid Marian is introduced, the boy rabbit's wooden sword appears out of nowhere as he draws it to "battle" the hen. He doesn't have it before nor after.

Continuity mistake: After Robin Hood and Little John ran from the sherrif and his posse in the woods and swing up the tree you can see that both of them don't have arrows penetrating their clothing but after the sheriff and his posse leave you can clearly see that Little John had an arrow in his shirt and Robin Hood had an arrow in his hat.

Suggested correction: This is not a continuity mistake. Earlier in the film, Prince John's crown becomes damaged by crashing through an iron gate with the guards. You can see the crown is crooked and bent. The three smaller gems on the crown are actually one of the large gems broken as a result of crashing through the gate.

Revealing mistake: Just before the archery contest, the Elephants play their trumpet sounds. Both the times they play it, you can notice that the same scene has been used twice.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Prince John and Sir Hiss are discussing where the next stop is, Sir Hiss's tounge is flat and purple-blue. In the next scene where Robin Hood and Little John are kissing the rings off his tounge is snake shaped and red.

Marian: Oh, Robin, you're so brave and impetuous.

Trivia: The characters of Prince John and King Richard are based on real people. Their mother, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, really did prefer Richard over John and all her other children (although John didn't really lapse into fits of whining and sucking his thumb.) John eventually became king after Richard's death.

Question: Why doesn't Prince John like having his hand shaken?

Answer: Robin Hood, while disguised as a stork, wouldn't stop shaking Prince John's hand and it was starting to annoy him. Prince John was also robbed by Robin Hood earlier in the movie so he wanted to make sure that the jewels in his rings weren't stolen again.

Answer: Being the prince, he would consider everyone else beneath him and unworthy of touching him.
