Robin Hood Source rising! | Tweet |
Hullo there! Been down about all the inactivity on Animation Source lately?

Then I have some good news for you! Over on Robin Hood Source, we've begun an effort at expanding and revamping existing material (or the lack thereof). It all started with an original request by site boosters Windhowler and XPennydisneyloverx to help them update the existing official character pages, and to add ones for the remaining official characters which were never done. For a while, nobody seemed very interested in helping, so I volunteered and, with the help of Mightybalto1925 (along with the approval of the staff in making me a site builder on Robin Hood Source), I was able to do some updating, cleaning up and completion of the official characters. You'll get to see, for instance, in several of the characters, information pertaining to their origins in the Robin Hood legends and ballads. And each bio will go into greater detail about their personalities, accents, and connections to other characters, without being too wordy OR too brief. And Mightybalto1925 updated the source banner with a nice new image!
This, of course, is a first step towards trying to generate new life into Robin Hood Source, and just to complete the work on the source which never has been completed. We are certainly eager for help and, if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know here or via a PM.
Meanwhile, in the spirit of generating new life, I have also created a new contest (the first on Robin Hood Source, I'm proud to say), which can give you folks who like creating characters something possibly fun to do. It asks you to complete Robin Hood's band of Merry Men (please see the contest page for details before you start doing anything), and I really hope you'll give it a try! The winners will eventually be posted to a new fan news on Robin Hood Source!
I hope to soon be able to feature new fan works on the fan news for the source, as there haven't been any recent contributions in a while. This is one of Disney's most beloved classic movies, and was one which legendary artist/animator/writer/director Don Bluth worked on (as an animator). And it has a wonderful story. If you haven't seen it yet, you really ought to!
Meanwhile, here is a list of links to the other official characters, from the movie, which are appearing on Robin Hood Source for the very first time:
Captain of the Guards
Father Sexton
Mother Church Mouse
Mother Rabbit
Nutsy
Otto
Sis
Tagalong
Toby
Trigger
Come on over and give Robin Hood Source some lovin'!

Sounds interesting, DT. Please keep us updated. Perhaps you could
also post something on the Robin Hood Source forum. |

I don't have the resources or skills to participate in the contest,
but I'll throw this in by way of incentive (for whatever it may be
worth): I've been toying with the idea of what a Robin Hood Animated
Series would be like, and if this sees enough activity I might be
looking to use some of the characters (especially interpretations of
ones from the legends like Will Scarlet) in fanfic "episodes." |

I'd like to throw out another comment in hopes of encouraging more
participation in the contest I posted in this news, and for folks to
have a look at the source and all of the characters (not just the ones
listed above). Please give it a try! |

Thanks for the hard work! I think most visitors don't notice the news and spend their time on the fan creations pages. I intend to give more visibility as soon as there will be a notification system on the site. I hope to work on that in the coming months... |

Thanks, Draco! We'll keep at it. I just was hoping for a bit more of
a response by now from the members. I wasn't expecting to see a bum
rush of responses and participation of course. But something at
least... |
