Robin Hood: Although we’ve always known this Disney story by heart, I never noticed this little detail until now!

A silhouette that strangely resembles Jock from Lady and the Tramp in the middle of hyenas, The Lion King, Aladdin’s lamp hidden among Tamatoa’s wealth in Moana, the two directors of Hercules animated and disguised as villagers at the beginning of the film, or even King Triton transformed from a little mermaid into a carnival princess and a frog…

When watching a classic from the Disney studio, we strongly recommend that you open your eyes and try to notice the many small details that have been painstakingly added by the animators. Much more numerous since the 90s and 2000s, these Easter eggs are quite rare in previous productions, but sometimes even old Disney eggs hide a little secret at the edge of the stage.

At 1 hour, 10 minutes and 10 seconds

This is, for example, the case of Robin Hood, which was produced in 1973, and in which we have just discovered an element that we have never encountered before.

When you hit pause at 1 hour, 10 minutes and 10 seconds into the movie, during the scene where Robin and Little Johnny steal the keys to the castle to free their friends, I suggest you take a quick look to your right. screen.

In this shot, where Brother Tuck – who is to be executed at dawn on Prince John’s orders – is still chained in his cell, we can definitely see the small writing on the wall.

A small sentence is written on the wall

“forgive everyone”, we can read on the dungeon stone. A short sentence that can be translated into French as “forgive everyone”And which strongly recalls the last words of Jesus nailed to the cross in the Gospel: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

If we add to this the fact that just under the inscription, on the straw of the hut, there is a large book, the outlines of which remind us of the outlines of the Bible, we can conclude that Brother Tuck (who is a church man) prepared for his sad fate by praying for the salvation of his enemies. Still, we wonder how he managed to – while chained – carve a small sentence on the wall.

Fortunately, the cruel punishment that Prince John meted out to him was not carried out, as Petit Jean arrived at the prison in seconds to free the monk.

Even if this little detail isn’t strictly speaking an easter egg, it still gives us more insight into Brother Tuck’s character and his psychology at this point in the film.
