In French, Robin Hood is called Robin des Bois, which literally means Robin of the Woods - a translation mistake, made since the first mention of his legend, between the words Hood and Wood.

Allan-a-Dale, the Rooster minstrel, is called in French Adam de la Halle, named after a French troubadour from the XIII century, who wrote about Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
The DVD wrongly credits him as Alain de la Halle.
This was the second time Claude Bertrand and Jean Stout dubbed a character together, as speaking and singing voice respectively, after Baloo in The Jungle Book (1967).
Siblings Sis, Skippy and Tagalong are dubbed by real life siblings Béatrice, Christophe and Aurélia Bruno. Their other brother, Fabrice Bruno, dubs Toby the Turtle.
King Richard is miscredited as Roi Charles on the DVD credits; and Tagalong is miscredited as Togalong.
Guy Piérauld, the voice of Father Sexton, was miscredited as Guy Pierrauld.
Henry Djanik, the voice of Otto, was credited as Henri Djanick.
Franca di Rienzo, the Soloist singer in the song "Love", was credited with her married name, Franca Chevallier.
