Rocket Robin Hood

Extremely crude, terribly animated, eminently watchable series from the late sixties. Ralph Bakshi again shows his imaginative hand, even if the other is tied firmly behind his back.

All the well-known characters of the medieval romance are back, this time 1000 years in the future. The Solar System is dominated by the evil, monolithic N.O.T.T., and Robin and his merry men resist and rebel against all it stands for. Using a bevy of futuristic weaponry, including the formidable Electro-Quarterstaff, Robin and his Band "rob the Astro-rich to give to the Astro-poor".

As a young child I was wildly in love with this shlocky series. If I had to choose between the fabulously underdressed Maid Marion and the supernaturally-capable Samantha Stevens I'd have been one unhappy camper. Still a good watch, I hope a live-action picture is made of this one day. Maybe with Nathan Filion in the lead...
