The idea to adapt ''Robin Hood'' into an animated feature was dated back to [[Walt Disney]]'s interest in the tale of [[Reynard|Reynard the Fox]] following the release of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' (1937). The idea was repeatedly shelved for several decades. In 1968, [[Ken Anderson (animator)|Ken Anderson]] pitched a film adaptation of Robin Hood, incorporating ideas from Reynard the Fox by using anthropomorphic animals rather than humans. The project was approved, becoming the first completely [[Walt Disney|"post-Walt"]] animated feature and the first with an entirely non-human cast.
