What did the rabbit mean at the end?


He mentions that Robin and Marian will have kids one day, so he'll have to "keep his eye on things" - what did he mean by that? When I was a kid, I thought it meant he wanted to watch them... you know "do it", but now I'm older I don't think that Disney would allow that to be even implied in their movies.

You thought that when you were a KID? Man, did you get a dirty mind at a young age
I think he means it in the sense of being a babysitter or something like that.

Wow, to think I was eleven or twelve when I finally learned the truth about where babies come from. I mean, I knew they came from inside the mom, but I thought they just 'appeared' in there somehow. When I heard kids talk about people doing 'it' I thought it was just some dirty little thing people had come up with in the '90s... it wasn't until later that I discovered that people had been connecting their 'parts' that way since the beginning of time.

Yes, Skippy certainly means being the "older brother" babysitting type when he says he intends to 'keep an eye' on things.

Got it, thanks.

I always took it to mean that Robin and Marian wouldn't be able to continue fighting for peasant rights the way they did before, and that Skippy would be passed the torch to carry on after them. Since it was his ambition to be Robin Hood, it made sense to me.
