Depicted as a laid-back and loyal brown bear, Little John serves as Robin Hood’s closest ally and best friend. Together, they form a dynamic duo, stealing from the rich to give to the poor while outwitting the villainous Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Little John is a source of comic relief and moral support, often bringing humor to tense situations with his witty remarks and clever disguises. Despite his easygoing demeanor, Little John is brave and fiercely protective of Robin Hood and the oppressed townsfolk of Nottingham.

Little John’s design and personality bear a striking resemblance to Baloo from Disney’s The Jungle Book (1967), as both characters were voiced by Phil Harris, a renowned actor and singer known for his rich, jovial voice. Harris infused Little John with a charismatic charm that makes him memorable and endearing to audiences.
