2 Small Things I Didn't Understand About Robin Hood

[johnthomas1020]

These are small questions, but no one I ask seems to know the answers xD

1. About the "Just Married" carriage. Were horses carrying those? We don't really see who's carrying the carriage, but horses would be weird! Because aren't the horses like people?

2. When Prince John ties Sir Hiss in a knot and stuffs him in a basket, does that choke him? It seems like not, because Hiss can breathe inside the basket. But then, what was that noise Hiss made when his throat was in a knot?

Well, I'll give it a shot.

1. I don't think all animals are anthropomorphic, only some. They still use animals like horses for tasks such as drawing carriages. Of course, it's also possible that those horses are intelligent and people-like, in which case think of it more as a rickshaw. I'm sure they are paid to do their job.

2. This is cartoon physics. Yes, Prince John can choke Hiss, and it will hurt, and he won't be able to breathe. It also will not kill him and the affliction will disappear on it's own (usually by the next scene). It's like Elmer Fudd's shotgun backfiring and charring his face - annoying but not seriously injurious.
