The Story
Robin Hood and his best friends, Marian and Little Jim love living in Sherwood Forest. They also love stealing money from the very nasty Sheriff of Nottingham. This makes the Sheriff really, really… REALLY angry. The king of England is even angrier when he discovers that the Sheriff has no money for him to spend on luxuries. He demands Robin’s capture… or the Sheriff is in big, big trouble!
With its great comic characters and silly situations, this fun adaptation of the classic English legend of goodies versus baddies guarantees an enjoyable interactive immersion in English. Although it is aimed at learners from 7-12 years old, this video can be enjoyed by teen and adult learners too.
