What this episode covers

This week on StoryDads, we head to Nottingham to revisit Disney’s Robin Hood — a playful, romantic classic that may be one of the most rewatchable films in Disney animation history. Joined by writer and producer Dan Friedman, we explore why Robin Hood represents the timeless Trickster archetype — a hero who lives between law and morality, order and chaos. We unpack the film’s themes of justice, community, love, and leadership, and discuss how its light tone and whimsical storytelling still carry meaningful ideas about power, responsibility, and what makes a truly good man. We also share the creative story behind GOODFELLOW, Dan’s upcoming comic inspired by Robin Goodfellow (Puck), illustrated by StoryDads’ own Micah Brenner, and how mythic storytelling continues to shape modern characters and narratives. Plus, a surprise guest appearance and some thoughtful dad wisdom to close out the episode. If you love movies, mythology, storytelling, and fatherhood conversations, this episode is for you.
