Robin Hood is one of the first animated films produced by the Walt Disney Company after Walt Disney's death in 1967. For the film, the studio's animators took the Disney tradition of adding human-like... read more read more... animal sidekicks to established tales (Cinderella, Pinnochio) a step further by making Robin Hood's legendary characters creatures themselves. Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a wily fox; Maid Marian (Monica Evans) is a beautiful vixen; Little John (Phil Harris) is a burly bear; Friar Tuck (Andy Devine) is a soft-spoken badger; the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) is a greedy wolf; and the scheming Prince John (Peter Ustinov) is a sniveling, groveling, thumb-sucking undersized lion with a serpent sidekick named Sir Hiss (Terry Thomas). The film begins after Prince John and Sir Hiss have tricked the true King into leaving the country on a phony crusade. With the help of the Sheriff of Nottingham, they tax the life out of Nottingham's peasants, leaving them all penniless but with the courageous Robin Hood as their only hope. ~ Aubry Anne D'Arminio, Rovi

    Maybe the most underrated of all Disney's films. Great characters and great music.

    This is how I will always remember Robin Hood, when I was a kid and I watched this, and you really never forget the stuff you love as a kid.

    Maid Marion is such a fox in this.

    Probably the most boring Disney flick.

    My favourite Disney movie of the 70s! It's so cute having a cartoon of Robin Hood with animals as the characters. Plus there are some catchy tunes in this. I highly recommend this movie.

    It's been forever and a day since I last saw this, but I remember absolutely loving it when I was a kid. I just like the Robin Hood story anyway, but this version just seems to be one of the more fun and enjoyable takes on things. Then again, that shouldn't be too surprising cons... read moreidering it's a Disney film.

    Phooey to you, critics! Robin Hood is one our favorite and best Disney movies we've seen. It's so funny, sad, cute, and the end will have you cheering.

Even at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting. Full Review

What sinks this one is the utter lack of the childhood insight and sympathy that really give the Disney films their staying power. Full Review

Compared with modern Disney films, which are dominated by the self-absorption and eventual self-discovery of their main characters, Robin Hood offers surprisingly stark and interesting social questions. Full Review

Vincent Canby, New York Times

The visual style is charmingly conventional, as gently reassuring as that of a Donald Duck cartoon, sometimes as romantically pretty as an old Silly Symphony. Full Review

Tim Brayton, Antagony & Ecstasy

Blatantly caters to a juvenile audience, without making even the slightest attempt to entertain the grown-ups unless it happens that they like Saturday morning cartoon-level hijinks. Full Review

Robin Hood is one of the most lackadaisical Disney features of all. Full Review

Robin Hood might be something of a mess around the fringes, but there's a kindness, joviality, and lovely sense of community ingrained in the picture that makes it irresistible. Full Review
