		Robin Hood Daffy is a 1958 Warner Brothers theatrical cartoon short, part of the Merrie Melodies series, directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese.
		The annoyed Daffy tries to prove his skill with a "quarterstaff" (Daffy: "Actually, it's a buck-and-a-quarter quarterstaff, but I'm not telling him [1] that."), but manages to hit himself in the face with it, bending his beak in what becomes a recurring visual gag throughout the film.
		Daffy fails in each and every attempt he makes to stop the traveller, usually injuring himself in the process, be it accidentally firing himself from his own bow, or slamming into a succession of trees while trying to swing on a rope.

	The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) -- Robin Hood Spotlight of the Month
		Robin's cause, as a freedom fighter, comes largely from Joseph Ritson's 1795 introduction to a ballad collection, elaborated by 19th century writers like Sir Walter Scott.
		The Fairbanks picture, in order to live up its tournament fade-in, had to ring in the whole goddamned Crusades, and a light taste of the real Robin Hood story was dragged in as a tag at the end to justify the use of the name.
		Robin's encounters with Friar Tuck and King Richard are straight out of the ballads.

		This is arguably the lushest version of Robin Hood (although the Flynn classic is in the running) with enormous sets(some of the biggest ever made), lavish costumes and big stars.

		It was a prestige picture that marked a departure from the gritty urban thrillers for which the studio was best known, and was by far the most expensive picture ever produced at Warner.
		'Robin Hood through the Ages' is actually a six-minute encapsulation of the 1922 Douglas Fairbanks filim, with Behlmer offering direct comparisons to the 1938 version and some historical background tidbits.
		The funniest is Rabbit Hood, a real vintage 'toon with Bugs Bunny trying to outsmart the Sheriff of Nottingham after stealing a carrot, and it includes a clever cameo at the end.

	Refining the "Long-eared Galoot": Chuck Jones' Rabbit Punch and Rabbit Hood
		Throughout the cartoon, Friar Tuck intermittently appears to pronounce the imminent arrival of Robin Hood.
		Daffy tries to “play” Errol in a range of cartoons like The Scarlet Pumpernickel and Robin Hood Daffy, but Bugs emerges as a closer equivalent to the exuberant action star (despite sounding more like a cross between Bogart, Groucho and carrot-chewing Gable in It Happened One Night, 1934).
		It is this key development in characterisation and stardom – and the studied poses that accompaniment it – that most marks the difference between these two cartoons and will lead to the masterpieces of character animation that Jones will make in the first half of the 1950s.
