Foxy Lady

Robin Hood a Classic or Sexual Fantasy?

Many colleagues of my own heart (Humans) would say that Maid Marian is a "fox." Of course she is a fox to the every day simpleton who only looks with the head connected to his shoulder!

Yeah she has fur all over her body, yes she has a bushy tail, and yes she has a black-balled nose, but the physical and emotional connection she has with Robin Hood makes her even more of a foxy lady.

According to etymology.com the word foxy was used as an American-English slang word for "attractive" in 1895; it wasn't until the 1940s the word was equated with "sexually attracted woman."

Who wouldn't want to cuddle next to Maid Marian in this film? She like many of Disney's other main female characters is 100-percent more attractive than that clucking rooster friend of hers.

This is not a notion of bestiality. No, sir! In fact, because the Disney animators portray the animals in an anthropomorphic way, we are actually viewing them as humans rather than beasts of the field. After all she isn't walking on all four like the average fox.

The love we see between the two is beautiful, sexually passionate (like in the fighting scene when they talk about where they want to go to make babies), and enduring (during the neat sequence of the layered trees at night, one of the most visually stunning scenes in older Disney history.)
