    Now is as good a time as any to confess: I had a HUGE crush on the fox version of Robin Hood as a girl.

      Out of all the Disney animated animals, the foxes were by far the most attractive. Something about those lithe, supple limbs and those expressive eyes.

        Let us not forget their handsome red hair and damn-the-man attitudes. (“The Fox and The Hound?!” Come on!!)

        I also had the hots for Justin the rat in “The Secret of NIMH.” Ahem.

    Robin Hood and Little John running through the margins,
    Of a big illuminated, fancy book of prayers,
    Knowing not they’re only doodles of a bored and lonely monk,
    Oh, Ooh de lally, ooh de lally, golly what a day.

    Hey, there's no shame in that. It's not like having a crush on Iago from Aladdin, right?
