Did you know

• A possible ending included Robin Hood being wounded after escaping from the castle. In this ending, Prince John, hooded and cloaked, is about to stab Robin but is interrupted by the arrival of King Richard. The filmmakers felt it made Prince John too sinister and took away from Robin Hood as the hero. It was also seen as too dark a turn from the otherwise upbeat and carefree tone of the movie, and so it was deleted and replaced with the ending where Robin Hood not only survives unscathed, but Prince John, Sir Hiss , and the Sheriff of Nottingham are imprisoned for their treachery with Allan-a-Dale explaining King Richard's return in front of a wanted poster of Robin Hood that now says "Pardoned by King Richard" on it. The original ending, in storyboard form, is included in the "Most Wanted Edition" DVD.

• Maid Marian's (Monica Evans') dance with the forest animals in "The Phony King of England" is the same as Snow White's dance with the dwarves in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). During the song, she also shares dance movements with Duchess from The Aristocats (1970).

• Originally, Friar Tuck was to be a pig, but was changed to a badger to avoid insulting religious sensibilities. The Sheriff of Nottingham was originally a goat, but was changed to a wolf as they seem better representing villains.
