Golly, what a day :c
Brian Bedford, the voice actor for Disney's Robin Hood, passed away today. I know a lot of people have been hit hard by the recent passing of Lemmy, David Bowie and Alan Rickman, and I felt some of that too, but this is different. Disney's Robin Hood has a special place in our fandom. For those of us of a certain age, it was our gateway. It awakened something in us that we didn't know existed, and maybe didn't understand.
While it was originally released many years before I was born it came to home video in the year of my birth, and more importantly was re-released on VHS as a Walt Disney Classic when I was 7. I'm not sure I've re-watched any other piece of media as many times as I watched that VHS tape, and I was smitten from the first time to the last.
Memory is a funny thing, so I don't know if Robin was my first crush, but I feel like he was. His rakish smile, sharp wit and carefree attitude combined with a smooth but solid drawl to make him the fox of my dreams.
I can think of no more fitting tribute than to draw some Robin Hood porn, so expect that I guess =3
