A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musicalversion of the familiar story is more charming than one might expect. Perhapsit's the warm, chummy take on key relationships within the legend--the way RobinHood (Brian Bedford) gets twitterpated whenever the subject of Maid Marian(Monica Evans) comes up or the way best pal Little John (Phil Harris voicing avariation on his own Baloo from The Jungle Book) admonishes the SherwoodForest hero, "Aw, Rob, why dontcha just marry the girl?" (Then, of course,there's the canny "casting" of the romantic leads as foxes: Robin the sly oneand Marian the, well, foxy one.) The rest of the vocal cast is lively andeclectic: Peter Ustinov, Andy Devine, Terry-Thomas, George Lindsey. Roger Millerprovides the songs and voice for the minstrel character Allan-A-Dale. The filmis ably directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, whose decades of work in Disney'sanimation division helped create the studio's rich legacy. --Tom Keogh

I've seen the majority of the "classic" Disney animated films, and "Robin Hood" (1973) does not come close to them in quality.The story features Robin Hood taking on King John, whose brother, the true King of England (King Richard), is off on the Crusades.King John is outraged after being robbed and tricked by Robin Hood and retaliates by increasing the taxes in his kingdom.This back and forth continues for awhile until Robin Hood finally triumphs.Yawn.

Just when you think a Disney classic couldn't be any better you are amazed by the picture and sound quality.
Rating: - Robin Hood, Disney DVD
Robin Hood is one of the 'oldies but goodies'. Sometimes we tired of the new fangled digital movies and appreciate the old ones where the color was hand painted, cells drawn individually, etc. Robin Hood is one of the good ones along with Snow White, Cinderella, Pinochio, etc. Disney at their best!
Rating: - A wonderful classic from my past, delightful!
Not many people give this movie enough credit simply due to budgetary constraints when it was being developed, but I grew up with this movie during my childhood and I was overjoyed to finally see my childhood disney movie brought back to life, restored and cleaned up on Disney DVD. I think this is a wonderful, charming, and enjoyable Disney film. True, it lacks the longstanding perfection like some of their biggest hits (Aladdin, Lion King, Beauty and the beast) but I love the animal design of the Robin ... Read More
