Continuity mistake: During the archery contest Prince John starts out wearing sandals, then wears no shoes, then wears sandals again when he dives out of the stand.
Hiss: A perfect fit, Sire! Looks most becoming! You look regal, dignified, sincere, masterful, noble.
Prince John: Don't overdo it, Hiss.
Trivia: In addition to the party scene already mentioned, some of the dance steps are from The Aristocats. And if you remember from The Aristocats, when they are having their party, some of the animals in Robin Hood look like the cats. Seems like they like to use the same dance routine for many films.
Question: Why did little John like the fact that the hubcaps were made of gold? I thought he wasn't greedy like Prince John.
Answer: He's not. Just like Robin Hood, he's robbing the rich to give to the poor. Since Prince John is so wealthy, Little John takes whatever he can get from the coach to help the oppressed people.
But what would he have done with the golden hubcaps? Sell them to make more money to feed the poor?
Just like Robin Hood, he would have given them to the poor who could have sold the hubcaps themselves.
