Plot hole: After Little John bores a hole in the bottom of the treasure box, several gold coins fall through the hole. The four rhinos holding the box should have noticed it becoming lighter.
Robin Hood (1973)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman
Starring: Peter Ustinov, Terry-Thomas, Phil Harris, Brian Bedford, Roger Miller
Genres: Adventure, Animated, Disney, Family, Musical, Romance
Continuity mistake: During the archery contest Prince John starts out wearing sandals, then wears no shoes, then wears sandals again when he dives out of the stand.
Marian: Oh, Clucky, surely he must know how much I really love him.
Clucky: But of course, my dear. Believe me, someday soon, your Uncle King Richard will have an outlaw for an in-law.
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 did little John like the fact that the hubcaps were made of gold? I thought he wasn't greedy like Prince John.
Answer: He's not. Just like Robin Hood, he's robbing the rich to give to the poor. Since Prince John is so wealthy, Little John takes whatever he can get from the coach to help the oppressed people.
But what would he have done with the golden hubcaps? Sell them to make more money to feed the poor?
Just like Robin Hood, he would have given them to the poor who could have sold the hubcaps themselves.
