A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story is more charming than one might expect. Perhaps it's the warm, chummy take on key relationships within the legend--the way Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) gets twitterpated whenever the subject of Maid Marian (Monica Evans) comes up or the way best pal Little John (Phil Harris voicing a variation on his own Baloo from The Jungle Book) admonishes the Sherwood Forest 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 one and Marian the, well, foxy one.) The rest of the vocal cast is lively and eclectic: Peter Ustinov, Andy Devine, Terry-Thomas, George Lindsey. Roger Miller provides the songs and voice for the minstrel character Allan-A-Dale. The film is ably directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, whose decades of work in Disney's animation division helped create the studio's rich legacy. --Tom Keogh
Description
Swashbuckling adventure and unforgettable characters make the story of ROBIN HOOD an all-time favorite! The animal kingdom serves up a feast of bowmanship, swordplay, and daring deeds in Disney's classic version of this timeless medieval tale. England is at war and ruled by a phony king! Greedy Prince John and his slithering sidekick, Sir Hiss, are taxing Nottingham's residents to the limit. But roguish Robin Hood, along with his trusted companion Little John and his devoted band of merry men, hatch one exciting adventure after another to outfox the prince. Robin won't rest until he wins the hand of fair Maid Marian and King Richard is restored to the throne! Superb storytelling, wonderful animation, and sensational songs make ROBIN HOOD a magical movie for kids of all ages!

I am getting tired of this and positively will NOT buy Edited/Censored DVDs! Not even a little tiny little edit is ok. Another great movie ruined by the suits.

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.
The quality of animation of "Robin Hood" is not drastically better than what you would see in the typical 70s Saturday morning cartoon. The character designs are rather generic and undistinguished, particularly Toby Turtle, Sir Hiss, and Robin Hood himself. The plot is quite boring and certainly is not clever enough to entertain adults, although it may entertain easily amused children. Clearly, the film's low budget hurt it greatly. The only positive aspects were a couple of decent songs (especially "Not in Nottingham" by Roger Miller) and the conceit of making all the characters into animals. I haven't seen a few of them, but "Robin Hood" is my least favorite of all Disney animated films I have seen.
Note: I rented this DVD, so I don't know what extras were offered aside from those on the disk, which included a cute Mickey Mouse cartoon and a couple of lame children's games.

Just when you think a Disney classic couldn't be any better you are amazed by the picture and sound quality.
