Jungle Book vs Robin Hood

You know,

I was thinking about this earlier. Definitely choose the Jungle Book.

Also, do y'all watch Burn Notice? Ever think that Bruce Campbell aka Sam Axe (aka Chuck Finley) sounds exactly like Baloo?

 

Ragnar Danneskjold: "But I’ve chosen a special mission of my own. I’m after a man whom I want to destroy. He died many centuries ago, but until the last trace of him is wiped out of men’s minds, we will not have a decent world to live in."

Hank Rearden: "What man?"

Ragnar: "Robin Hood."

Ragnar: ". . . [Robin Hood] is not remembered as a champion of property, but as a champion of need, not as a defender of the robbed, but as a provider of the poor. He is held to be the first man who assumed a halo of virtue by practicing charity with wealth which he did not own, by giving away goods which he had not produced, by making others pay for the luxury of his pity. He is the man who became a symbol of the idea that need, not achievement, is the source of rights, that we don’t have to produce, only to want, that the earned does not belong to us, but the unearned does. He became a justification for every mediocrity who, unable to make his own living, had demanded the power to dispose of the property of his betters, by proclaiming his willingness to devote his life to his inferiors at the price of robbing his superiors. It is this foulest of creatures – the double-parasite who lives on the sores of the poor and the blood of the rich – whom men have come to regard as the moral idea." ". . . Do you wonder why the world is collapsing around us? That is what I am fighting, Mr. Rearden. Until men learn that of all human symbols, Robin Hood is the most immoral and the most contemptible, there will be no justice on earth and no way for mankind to survive."

From Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged

 

I'd go with Robin hood. Nothing like the disney classics. Technology has destroyed the purity of animation. What was the last great animated film with great vocals? Anastasia? And they made the bolsheviks look awfully bad in the opening scene.

But yes, Robin hood over Jungle book!

 

Tie ballgame! :grin: 17-17.

 

Robin Hood with a strong showing from the 5:00-6:00 crowd.

 

looks like i broke the tie with my vote for Robin Hood. i know we had both movies growing up but, outside of knowing the characters, i really don't remember almost anything about the jungle book (i know Baloo was funny but i can't remember anything he said), whereas we watched Robin Hood a bunch and i can remember a bunch of scenes ("who's driving this flying umbrella!"). i remember it being pretty funny so i had to go with the Hood.

edit: and we're back to the 19-19 tie.

 

Jungle Book has always been my favorite Disney movie.

 

I liked Robin Hood more as a kid, but thinking back at it the Jungle Book as better songs.

 

Looks like you're going to just have to flip a coin.

 

I'd say Jungle book if I had to choose between those.

Aladdin was always my favorite Disney animation

 

Robin Hood.
I always thought Jungle Book left me hanging there at the end.

 

Well, I had no idea Walt would stoop this low. I fell like I've been duped. Is this what they call reanimation.

 

Aren't you Indian? Brush up on your culture man!

 

Robin Hood, but only because I read the original Jungle Books by Kipling and didnt like the adaptation. I also really liked the songs out of Robin Hood, while Bare Necessities only sticks with me from Jungle Book.

 

Jungle Book's a more gripping, cerebral story. Robin Hood's more actiony.

 

Whhhhhooooaaaaa... that's trippy.

 

You have an endearingly young and innocent soul, Yoyo. Personally I would go with Aladdin or Little Mermaid, or maybe light some pumpkin-scented candles, take a bubble bath with the "Gaston" song on a constant loop (how do you not love a good waltz?).
