[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

[HORSE NEIGHING]

[DRIVER WHISTLES]

[ROBIN HOOD CHUCKLES]

Well done, Jerry Mouse.

Thanks for the rope.

I'll take it from here.

[NEIGHING]

Ha-ha!

[ROBIN HOOD GRUNTS]

Don't move a muscle, friend.

Here now, I'd say that was a job well done.

Now, let's see. What have we here?

Ah, gold.

All this...

taxed from the poor

so that the rich can get richer.

It simply will not do.

Oh, yes, it will.

The famous Robin Hood

caught in my little trap.

How pathetic.

[ROBIN HOOD CHUCKLES]

Not as pathetic as you,

Sheriff of Nothingham.

It's Nottingham.

And you are my prisoner.

ROBIN HOOD:
Oh.

TOM:
Aah!

Is that a fact?

Aah! Aah! Ooh! Aah! OW!

You there, driver. Seize him.

Yes, you.

Grab Robin Hood.

I'm afraid he won't be doing that.

He's actually one of my men, Little John.

Huh?

- He hijacked your wagon about, what...?

- Ooh, five miles back.

It's still 10 to 2.

Two and one-sixteenth.

I'd say more like 10 to 50.

No. Good grief.

Thanks to a wee bird,

or, rather, a tiny mouse...

I knew you were planning a little trap for me

so I planned a little trap for you.

So nice of you to use

real gold as bait, my lord.

- Tie them up.

- Huh?

Not you, Jerry.

Let the men do that.

You and Little John can help me

roll these barrels of gold back home.

Perfect job for your tiny little feet.

This one's for you, little buddy.

Thanks again, sheriff.

[ROBIN HOOD

AND LITTLE JOHN LAUGHING]

Oh! I hate you, Robin Hood.

[HONKING]

[CREAKING]

[SPIKE WHISTLES AND TYKE BARKS]

[SINGING]

Oh, it's a rough life just trying to get by

The tax man comes and bleeds you dry

No matter how much you give

It's never enough

If you say you've nothing left

He'll say

That's tough

ALL:

It's a rough life just trying to get by

The tax man comes and

Aah!

He bleeds you dry

That's why we fight

We fight for Robin Hood

Robin stands for right

He fights for all that's good

ROBIN:

That is why they stand

To join my merry band

We are merry men and that is grand

The good king's left on a long Crusade

While he's gone

He has been betrayed

His brother John is a greedy soul

- He'll tax your soup

- And he'll tax your bowl

ALL:

But fear not, good folk

Listen and behold

Robin Hood will thwart him

[SCREECHING]

With action brave and bold

That's why we fight

We fight for Robin Hood

Robin stands for right

He fights for all that's good

He takes from the rich

And to the poor he gives

And with his merry men

In Sherwood Forest lives

TOM:

Aah...!

Whoo! Aah! Aah!

Whoo! Aah! Whoo! Aah!

Whoo! Aah! Whoo!

My dear sheriff...

perhaps you have forgotten

one very important thing.

I not only love money,

love it, love it, love it...

but I need it.

I'm going to be King John one day...

[CHUCKLING]

- ...not Prince John.

- Yes, my lord.

And a king needs to be rich. Mm!

Rich. Heh-heh-heh. Stinking rich!

Yes, my lord.

And I can't be stinking rich...

unless you stop Robin Hood

from stealing all my taxes.

What does he do with my money?

Gives it to the poor?

What's up with that?

The poor don't need money.

They're poor.

Well, it's not my fault, sire.

I think... How do I put this?

Robin Hood is getting his information

from inside the castle.

A spy?

[YAWNS]

Prince John, if you will excuse me,

I'd like to retire.

[YAWNS THEN SIGHS]

You know how matters of state

are too much for my sweet little head.

Yes, yes, off you go.

Good night, Maid Marion.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

[GIGGLES]

Close your mouth.

You're as bad as the wolves.

So we have a spy?

Yes, I believe Robin Hood

is smuggling information back and forth...

via a very tiny courier.

And I have just the man to stop him.

- Him?

SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM: No.

- Uh, him?

SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM: No.

Silly sheriff, you're out of men.

May I introduce my cat-at-arms, Thomas.

You see, because Robin Hood

is using a mouse as his messenger...

Tom is perfect.

Now off with you. Prepare for your mission.

A cat to catch a mouse.

Genius! Pure genius.

I love money!

Oh, the mouse is nothing, sire.

What matters is with its capture,

we'll find the traitor.

Yes. Find the traitor.

But if my brother, the good King Richard,

returns from the Crusades...

it will all be for nothing.

I'll never be king.

The nice part about Crusades

is they're extremely dangerous.

He may never return.

How long before

we cross the Channel for England?

Good King Richard, another two days

and the ship will be ready, uh, sire.

But how I miss my kingdom and my people.

The sooner we get home, the better.

Eh, my good bear?

Uh, oh, yeah.

Uh, what you just said, sire.

Two days. We gotta warn Prince John.

Yeah, so's he can definitely make a nice

reception for his big brother. Heh-heh.

It'll be a killer.

[IMITATES NECK CRACKING]

[CACKLING]

Shush! Come on.

Let's go.

We'll get ourselves a nice reward

for this juicy bit of news. Heh-heh.

[CHATTERING]

Oh, boy.

[CHUCKLES]

Now, my fine lads, who wants to help me

hand out Prince John's money?

ALL:

Huzzah! Huzzah!

ROBIN HOOD:

Ha-ha! Grab your gear.

Ha-ha. Not you, my little friend.

MAN:
Youch!

- Oh, don't fret now.

I have an even more important

job for you.

Something that fits your size.

I need you to make another delivery.

It's a poem I've written for Maid Marion.

Could you please take it to her?

Now you mustn't let this fall

into the wrong hands...
