Little John (Disney)

Background

Little John is an anthropomorphic bear who appears as the male deuteragonist of Disney's 1973 animated feature film, Robin Hood. He is Robin Hood's loyal sidekick and best friend.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Robin's story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Little John is often seen alongside Robin Hood, first escaping from the Sheriff of Nottingham and his posse. Despite the successful escape, Little John worries about being captured and hanged. He later attempts to cite a law against robbing royalty to try to get out of robbing Prince John. However, he assists Robin in the robbery of Prince John while disguised as a gypsy. While Robin is in the royal coach with the Prince, Little John remains outside and steals gold from a large chest as well as the gold hubcaps of the coach. Later on, he is seen in a hideout he shares with Robin, trying to encourage the lovesick Robin to propose to Maid Marian, whom Robin is in love with. He then gets upset with Robin for not paying attention when he was supposed to be tending to the fire, annoyingly saying "Aw man, you burnt the chow!" Robin seems unconcerned about the blackened food and dismisses the suggestion of engagement, claiming his outlaw status would not fit life with Marian. Little John somewhat sarcastically remarks for Robin to think of something, for he sure is not going to impress Marian with his cooking abilities (as John annoying adds spices to try to salvage his dinner). When Friar Tuck arrives at the hideout and delivers news about Prince John's archery tournament with a winning prize being a kiss from Marian, Little John notes that Robin could win it "standing on his head" but also fears that the Prince's guards, as well as the Sheriff, will be at the tournament. Little John is next seen at Prince John's archery tournament, reminding Robin, who has disguised himself as a stork to enter the tournament, that he must fool the Sheriff of Nottingham. While Robin participates in the tournament, Little John, disguised as a nobleman named Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney, consorts with Prince John. After Robin is unmasked and captured, Little John is instrumental in helping Robin escape execution by threatening Prince John's life if Robin is not released. Later, Little John is in his hideout with the citizens of Nottingham (including Friar Tuck and his mice), where they surprise Robin and Marian after the couple return from their moonlight stroll. During a celebration honoring the newly-engaged couple, Little John plays his song "The Phony King of England" on his lute and dances with Lady Kluck. Much later, Little John assists in a jailbreak to rescue the citizens of Nottingham, including Friar Tuck, who is sentenced to hang at dawn. Robin retrieves the jail key and passes it to Little John, who then goes into the jail. He frees the citizens while Robin climbs up to the royal treasury to reclaim the taxes that Prince John had taken from them. Little John later impersonates the Sheriff to facilitate their escape and pulls a cart loaded with all the citizens of Nottingham, intent on taking them to Sherwood Forest. When Robin is trapped in the castle, and forced to jump in the moat to escape, Little John is seen watching from the forest with Skippy. He, like Prince John, believes Robin to be dead, as the Sheriff's posse had been shooting at Robin. He is overjoyed to see that Robin has survived his escape from the castle, after initially believing the latter had been killed. After King Richard returns, Little John is pardoned alongside Robin. He drives the coach containing newlyweds Robin Hood and Marian and allows Skippy to join them.
