* NiceGirl: ''Awfully'' nice, as the kids say in-universe.



* NonActionBigBad: Not surprising, as seen in DirtyCoward above. While he is the mastermind behind the plans to stop Robin Hood, he relies on [[TheDragon The Sheriff]] to do all the dirty work for him. The Sheriff is more of a physical threat to Robin, constantly attempting to capture him, and then actively trying to kill him during the climatic battle.



* AffablyEvil: At least, he's certainly more pleasant than Prince John and the Sheriff.



* MeaningfulName: "Now I know why your mama called you Nutsy."

to:

* MeaningfulName: "Now I know why your mama called you Nutsy." And Trigger too, who is known for his itchy trigger finger.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Nutsy but only because he's an idiot, while Trigger comes off as more malicious. However as seen in PunchClockVillain below and their apparent HeelFaceTurn, both of them can be considered this.

* DisneyDeath: During the climactic battle, [[spoiler:Robin escapes from the burning castle by jumping into the moat. He is briefly presumed drowned, due to [[DeadHatShot his hat floating on the moat's surface, with an arrow through it]], but it turns out [[HesJustHiding he's just hiding underwater]].]]



* TheGadfly: The Disney Robin Hood is this.



* {{Acrofatic}}: For a fat bear, he's just as agile and fast as Robin Hood.



* {{Acrofatic}}: Despite being "the fat one" (as Prince John called her), she's quite athletic and an ActionGirl through and through.



* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Prince John is a cowardly, childish mama's boy, but that doesn't stop him from being a cunning and ruthless tyrant who is a fan of lethal and amoral force.

**
Prince John is a cowardly, childish mama's boy, but that doesn't stop him from being a cunning and ruthless tyrant who is a fan of lethal and amoral force.force.
** He has a surprising DangerouslyGenreSavvy moment at some point. Initially he failed to see through Robin and Little John's gypsy costumes. But later when Prince John stages an archery tournament, he is more perceptive, seeing through Robin's stork disguise (which is actually pretty convincing) and sets a trap for Robin once his guard is down.

to:

* LaughablyEvil: Due to him being one of the most laughable and incompetent Disney villains ''ever''.


Added DiffLines:

* CardCarryingVillain: Not only does the Sheriff use underhanded tactics to collect every last coin from the townspeople, he enjoys every minute of it.
* CorruptHick: Despite being set in Medieval England, the Sheriff and his underlings act like stereotypes from the American deep south.
* TheDragon: To Prince John. One of few Disney examples in plain sight, he's aggressive, takes orders from his (slightly) brighter boss, orders the Mooks around, and serves as the primary physical threat to Robin as demonstrated nicely during the final battle scene in the tower.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only ever referred to as "Sheriff", even by his close associates.
* FatBastard: With his big belly and crass demeanor, he is the closest example.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's always cheerful and polite while doing sadistic things.
* {{Jerkass}}: Like Prince John, he's a rude, power tripping jerk.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's a bumbling goof, but nearly kills Robin in the climax of the film, burning the castle down in the process.
* StoutStrength: Although he only really gets to show it in the climax.


Added DiffLines:

* CluelessDeputy: Nutsy is a ditz and Trigger can't keep his crossbow under control. (Not that the Sheriff is much better, but he looks like it in comparison.)
* KarmaHoudini: The only villains that weren't arrested. Given that they weren't abusing their power like John, Hiss, and the Sheriff were, this shouldn't be a surprise.
* MeaningfulName: "Now I know why your mama called you Nutsy."
* PunchClockVillain: At the end they're seen guarding the imprisoned John, Hiss, and the Sheriff for King Richard, so it's clear they just do their job no matter who's on the throne. Either that or they did a HeelFaceTurn.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Two henchmen to Prince John and the Sheriff.


Added DiffLines:


* BigGood: He is seen by his subjects as the paragon of the TheGoodKing.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to John's Cain.
* TheGoodKing: Everything gets better once he arrives; John is imprisoned and Robin Hood gets a HappilyEverAfter ending with Marion.
* PantheraAwesome: Prince John and King Richard are lions but only the latter is awesome.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As seen above, he fixes everything when he comes back.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Disney/TheJungleBook Kaa]].
* HypercompetentSidekick: Now, if Prince John had listened to Hiss' advice now and then (don't trust the strange gypsy women, for one), he'd have been spared some of his humiliations.
* PragmaticVillainy: While Sir Hiss seems genuinely shocked that Friar Tuck is going to be hanged, he might be afraid that doing so would get them excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
* ProfessionalButtKisser: To Prince John, ''so much''.
* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He is Prince John's EvilChancellor.

Added DiffLines:

* BadassPreacher: He delivered a righteous beating on the Sheriff for stealing from the Poor Box.
* BerserkButton: Dismissing his 'sermons' is one thing, but outright disrespecting him, a man of the church, by telling him that his 'preachiness' is gonna soon land him in a hangman's noose while stealing out of the poor box is another thing entirely.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Do not take money from the poor box in front of Friar Tuck.
* GoodShepherd: As usual, Friar Tuck is a devout and admirable man.
* StoutStrength: Like Little John, he's grossly fat but also among the most physically powerful characters in the film.


Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguouslyGay: Ironically, since historically King John was a notorious womanizer and adulterer and King Richard was the one historians claim may have been homosexual.
* BerserkButton: Mentioning King Richard in front of Prince John. Mentioning his mother is probably okay, as it just causes him to bluescreen and start sucking his thumb.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Prince John may be a comical, embarrassing MommasBoy, but if you mock him badly enough, he will not let you get away with it.
* BigBad: The source of the story's conflict. Robin's hiding out, his inability to marry Marian, the heavy taxes, it's all him.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Richard's Abel.
* CatsAreMean: He's a lion and he's mean, however his brother Richard who's also a lion averts this trope.
* DirtyCoward: In the Archery Tournament fiasco. While Robin Hood was fighting off the guards, Prince John tried to blind-side him. However, Robin Hood easily disarms him before that happened, and Prince John immediately runs away in fear while pathetically begging for his life.
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Prince John's relationship with his mother is... complicated. He seemed to react with a huge amount of remorse when he ends up either wrecking her things (ie, her mirror and her castle) or is reminded of her in some way, and childishly sucks his thumb.
* EvilCounterpart: To King Richard, obviously.
* EvilIsHammy: He chews the scenery with abandon, such as his "DOUBLE THE TAXES!" scene.
* TheEvilPrince: Prince John is the main villain of the movie.
* FreudianExcuse: Prince John has serious maternal issues.
* {{Greed}}: He is depicted as not only hoarding gold, obsessively counting it, and fondling it, but even sleeping with it in his bedchamber. To be fair, no one could expect the royal chambers to be vulnerable to any but the most daring and skillful of thieves, but surely there were more secure places to put it... right?
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Both Prince John and King Richard were real historical figures, though one imagines that even Medieval Morons would have noticed if they had been real lions.
* {{Hypocrite}}: After he is captured at the archery contest, Prince John calls Robin a traitor to the crown, despite the fact that he unlawfully seized the throne while Richard was off on the Crusades.
* {{Jerkass}}: Obviously, as he's also the villain and gets his comeuppance in the end.
* LaughablyEvil: Due to him being of the most laughable and incompetent Disney villains ''ever''.
* LeanAndMean: Prince John is scrawnier than his benevolent older brother.
* ManChild: Very much so. He's very whiny, often throws temper tantrums, constantly sucks his thumb and cries very easily.
* MoneyFetish: He sleeps with bags of taxes.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Prince John is a cowardly, childish mama's boy, but that doesn't stop him from being a cunning and ruthless tyrant who is a fan of lethal and amoral force.
* SpoiledBrat: Immensely. When the Nottingham citizens shout out their loyalties to King Richard, John's response was whining while jumping up and down on his throne.
--> '''Prince John''': "NO! I AM KING! KIIIIIING!!! KIIIIIIING!!!"
* TheUnfavourite: "Mother always did like Richard best!"
* TheVillainSucksSong: "The Phony King of England". Which unfortunately leads to his...
* VillainousBreakdown: Once the "Phony King of England" himself hears the aforementioned song, it leads to him screaming new decrees about tripling the taxes right at the scared-witless Sheriff's face while strangling Sir Hiss.

* NeutralFemale: Averted. She typically isn't of much help when things get dangerous, but she does have a couple of moments where she's actively trying to assist the protagonists.
* ProperLady: A graceful, charming and lady-like woman.
