Send us a message! Include how to reach you if you want a response. Odelaly and Criminitly! The 1973 animated Robin Hood (with the foxes) is as familiar as matzo-ball soup, but what’s lurking in the comfort?From treatment of gender (not only a lack of representation but also the performance of gender) to the surprisingly (or maybe not-so-suprisingly?) anti-anti-authoritarian message to the quietly queer-coded villains to the stick-to-your-own-kind romantic pairings, Tracie and Emily have a lot to unpack from those dancing and singing anthropomorphized animals. Even with all of what they uncover, the sisters remain enamored by the solid acting, delightful score, and beautiful⏤and innovative!⏤hand-drawn animation.Join us as we turn a grown-up eye to a pillar of our childhood. We might even sing. Mentioned in this episode:Deep Thoughts about Gender in Pop Culture: Tools for Feminist Analysis (BONUS)Tracie’s illustration of a giraffe playing jacksOur theme music is "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Learn more about Tracie and Emily (including our other projects), join the Guy Girls' family, secure exclusive access to bonus episodes, video versions, and early access to Deep Thoughts by visiting us on Patreon. We are the sister podcasters Tracie Guy-Decker and Emily Guy Birken, known to our extended family as the Guy Girls.We're hella smart and completely unashamed of our overthinking prowess. We love 80s and 90s movies and tv, science fiction, comedy, and murder mysteries, good storytelling with lots of dramatic irony, analyzing film tropes with a side of feminism, and examining the pop culture of our Gen X childhood for gender dynamics, psychology, sociology, religious allegory, and whatever else we find. We have super-serious day jobs.
