Robin Hood

I rent this movie for my children in 1993 and end up with them watching this cartoon for first time, once more now on DVD l revisited this Disney's version of tale of Robin Hood this plot is the same but oriented by children's taste bringing a good thief who steal of the rich to give to the poor and the love with lady Marian, helping the people against the phony King John, marvelously conceived by Disney this amazing cartoon not allowed for children only!!!

It really makes you wonder why can't Disney do more movies like this? I thought this was one of the most wonderful of any film that Disney ever made. Of course, the people of today do two things with this masterpiece: leave it unnoticed, or bash it to the ground, so they can watch some overrated stuff. Backgrounds: supreme, wonderful. Character designs: Done by the oh-so-wonderful Don Bluth, plus, this film has the most funniest villains ever to be shown on the silver screen (who wouldn't laugh at that mama's boy, Prince John?) and it as all kinds of emotion here: cute, mushy romance, a bit of drama here and there, and lots and lots of humor. Also, that little rabbit kid, Skippy, is one of the most adorable cartoon kids I've ever seen. One last things I'd like to add: the songs, some catchy and fun "Phony King of England" while some are really morose "Not in Nottingham". Overall, I give it two thumbs up.

Sweet little Disney children's classic. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, who also directed The Jungle Book, 101 Dalmatians and The Aristocats, Robin Hood is one of the quintessential children's movies. Has a sweet, often funny story, with the characters portrayed by animals. Adults however, may find the plot a bit basic. Still good fun though. Where Robin Hood doesn't reach the same level of class as The Jungle Book, however, is in the music. Every song on The Jungle Book was catchy and incredibly memorable. Robin Hood's music just isn't in the same league, and feels flat and insignificant. This, despite enlisting the musical talents of Roger Miller for a few of the songs. Overall, worth the watch, no matter what your age.

After years of only watching bits and pieces of this movie, I finally watched the entirety of this on a recent flight from Korean Air. Made after Walt Disney's death, it still had many of his old crew involved making this quite entertainingly funny to watch. All the characters of the Robin Hood tale are portrayed as various forest animals with the leading character and his leading lady being foxes. This marked Phil Harris' third and final voice role in a Disney movie, having previously been such in The Jungle Book (Uncle Walt's last in the animated category) and The AristoCats. Roger Miller contributed some songs and also voiced a character though the tune that got an Oscar nomination-"Love"-was written and performed by someone else. Overall, Robin Hood was a nice movie to watch on a flight back home...

There have been so many treatments of the Robin Hood legend. In this animated one, we are serenaded by the wonderful Roger Miller (who died way too soon). He plays a singing rooster. The plot is the old Sheriff of Nottingham going after the poacher and thief, Robin Hood. Robin wins the big archery tournament and hooks up with Maid Marion (they are both foxes or there would be some issues here). Of course, Prince John and the Sheriff will stop at nothing to get their man and use the threatened hanging of Friar Tuck to draw our amazing archer into the open. There's no question how this ends. The animation is truly striking and it's a nice story. You will recognize some of the voices though we must go back some time.

Disney's 1973 animated feature "Robin Hood" takes place in Sherwood Forest, near which is now Birmingham in England. Here, we see and hear about the famous story of Robin Hood, who, as many of y'all know, stole from the rich and had given to the poor. It's a very exciting story which the folks at Disney made into an animated film; for instance, we have a fox taking the role here. What I like about this film: It's terrific. Disney does an excellent job with the old films; quality animation, many being based on fairy tales that were read to us as little children, and nothing but 100% family fun!!!!! These thoughts have made me have a go at this movie! "Robin Hood" is one Disney flick that will never be forgotten and will live in our hearts for centuries to come. :-) 10/10
