Imagine, just for a moment, how different Superman would have been if the middle of that first defense of another had been the moment...

It's arguably the most beloved pre-Disney Renaissance cartoon. It never aspires to be great art (which Sleeping Beauty, for instance...

I guess I mean, a major if not essential part, the core, of Robin Hood is that he’s a hero. He takes from the rich and he gives to the...
