In the woods at the end of the road, Robin and her friends, the “Hoods”, have no limits to their imagination. But when an unscrupulous developer wants to cut down the forest and redevelop the area, the children must do whatever it takes to save “the kingdom”.
Director Phil Hawkins: “The power of our young protagonists imaginations bring an epic scale to this heartwarming story. And it’s an important one to tell. ROBIN AND THE HOODS, at its core, is about conservation. Both of the environment and our responsibility have as a society to do something about it… but also about the preservation of ‘innocence’ in a day and age where kids are seemingly getting older at a much younger age.
I’m a new parent. I have five year old twins and both these aspects scare me. I’m truly frightened about what world our kids are going to be left with on top of the ‘digital’ pressures of growing up way too soon. ROBIN is important because it’s a reminder of the power of imagination and innocence. The time in our lives where everything feels simple where we can take on the World because what we’re passionate about is right under our noses uncorrupted by politics or corporations. An innocence that’s infectious for all concerned that can change things. Our young characters in the movie care deeply about conserving a very small patch of land that is their entire world. It’s a microcosm of our global struggle to save the environment told in a way that’s inspiring (and exciting!) that can and will spark conversation. It’s a movie I can’t wait to show my kids.”
