The matching shot appears 43 minutes 29 seconds into the film, after Robin Hood has been captured at the archery tournament and says to Maid Marian "Darling, I love you more than life itself."-- to which Prince John says in the matching scene: "Ah, young love. Your pleas have not fallen upon a heart of [this frame] stone" --only to sentence him to be executed. The cel bears the authenticity seal of the official Disney art program. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the beloved animated feature's release.
