Summary: Robin Hood jumps to animation in this movie
Review: Phil Harris who has both voiced Baloo in the Jungle Book, and Thomas O' Malloy in the Aristocats is back again in this movie, plus this also a singing role for him, he also sung in both the Jungle Book, and the Aristocats. Plus he sounds like Baloo. The characters are all animals from a fox to a wolf. As the movie opens, Robin Hood (Brain Bedford) and Little John (Phil Harris) are swimming and having fun into the are being chased by the sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttham) and his men, they mange to escape, and then find out that the evil Prince John (Peter Ustinov) has come to town, so they dress up as fortune tellers, Prince John manges to get his ride to stop while he has Robin Hood (dressed up as a fortune teller), they try thier best to steal the riches that Prince John has, but get caughted in the act, by his pet snake (Terry-Thomas), but Prince John wouldn't listen, but when after they leave he realizes that he has been robbed, and puts up wanted signs with Robin Hood's picture on it. Monica Evans voices Robin Hood's sweetheart Maid Marian. Thought it may be heard to believe that this movie is about 30 years old. This is a must watch if you love Disney animated movies. The songs in this movie are

Do-de lally
Not in Nottingham
Whistle-Stop

All pefromed by Roger Miller

Love
sung by Nancy Adams

The phoney king of England
sung by Phil Harris

Summary: This is a Classic!
Review: This movie is sure to please everyone. Adults will have fond memories of when the movie first came out and kids will be happy to rediscover this adorable version of the classic story of Robin Hood, Disney style. Of course the cast is composed now of animals, and the choice of foxes for the main characters was perfect, and really cute.

I have seen this movie dozens of times and I still love to put it in the DVD player every time I get bored!

Summary: Classic Of All Time
Review: This is my favorite movie of all time! Even though this movie doesn't compare to big hits such as Aladdin or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this movie is hilarious. Every time I watch it I still get a kick out of a new scene or two. I love the character Prince John. Now I know he is a villian but, with him being jelious of his older brother and trying to live up with his mother's expectations he acts like a little two year old and he shows it well.
What is also neat is that Disney has used animals and not cartoon people. The animals go with the characters and it is just so unbelieveable. I recommend this movie to all ages. Even adults will enjoy this awesome movie.

Summary: How the animals tell the Robin legend
Review: As rooster-minstrel Allan-a-Dale (voiced by the late country singer Roger Miller) explains in the introductory sequence, the animal kingdom has a slightly different take on the story of Robin Hood than we humans do. And how wonderfully Disney has told it! What *would* wily Robin be but a red fox? Or Little John but a big, good-natured bear? Or King Richard and Prince John but a pair of rival lion brothers (in a fascinating foreshadowing of "The Lion King")? The voice talents are especially fine--Brian Bedford as Robin, Phil Harris as Little John, Andy Devine as Friar Tuck (a badger), Peter Ustinov as Prince John, Terry-Thomas as his sinister snake-advisor Sir Hiss, Monica Evans as Maid Marian, Carole Shelley as her lady-in-waiting Kluckie (a hen), Pat Buttram as the Sheriff of Nottingham (a wolf), George Lindsey and Ken Curtis as his vulture-deputies Trigger and Nutsy. Though somewhat more inclined to slapstick than most Disney animation, it will charm even those who don't care for that kind of humor (and being one myself I can speak with authority): the wild chase that ends the shooting match at Nottingham Fair will have you rolling on the floor. There's also plenty of intrigue, swashbuckling adventure, and clever scheming, and--as in any version of this legend--ample opportunity to start a discussion with your kids about right and wrong. One of my favorite cartoon features and one that should find favor with all ages.

Summary: a great movie
Review: This is a great movie. If your tired of the formula driven Disney movie- watch this. Its a fun romp from start to finish and it has one thing that the current batch of Disney films( especially the "sequals"(groan)) lack and that is personality. I've watched it hundreds of times and still love it as I did when I was kid.

Summary: Robin Hood (Disney)Brian Bedford
Review: What a strange idea that worked! Ofcourse I mean casting the story of robin hood with animal cartoons instead of human cartoons. This cartoon was always one of my disney favorites and I decided to buy it. At the age of 23, I wasnt sure if it would still hold up and grab my attention like when I was younger, but I still love it!

This is a great movie that everyone can enjoy. I thought the characters such as Sir Hiss, Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Prince John are wonderful. They all have such unique and funny personalities. Watching this in my older years got me thinking about currupt power, taxes, the poor, the death penalty and other adult issues. Not to worry parents! Your kids wont have to think of such things cause they will be busy loving the cute characters, jokes and great storyline. This movie sends a important message of human compassion. This movie never made me ever think of stealing when I was younger, but just incase your worried, please explain to kids that stealing is not right, but Robin Hood was taking back money from the rich that they stole from the poor(because of the insane taxes).

The songs while not the most memorable of Disneys theme songs are really great and I actually enjoy them more now. There is alot of really great folk songs that are really catchy(i even find myself singin them in the car).

The DVD quality is great and there is a bonus Mickey and Goofy cartoon included!

Summary: Classic Disney retelling of a favorite story!
Review: This particular version of the "Robin Hood" tale may not stand up to historical scrutiny... but it sure is a wonderful version by any stretch of the imagination! I've loved this one for many, many years and was excited when it was finally released on DVD. And not a moment too soon! My VHS version was looking rather tired.

The animation is classic Disney, and makes a smooth visual transition from its predicessor, "The Jungle Book." Musical sequences are interwoven beautifully with the story, and the outstanding character development imbues each of the main "leads" with a larger than life persona.

This new DVD version of the movie has remastered the audio and video aspects of the movie, breathing a renewed life into a venerable classic.

Summary: An All-time favorite!
Review: When I was a child Disney's Robin Hood was my absolute favorite movie. I used to beg my mom to let me watch it every day. Now I grew up and had my own kids. Funny thing is my own kids are begging me to watch it every day! The songs in this movie blow you away. Real talented stuff. Not like this modern Disney music. I have to argue the other reviews that suggest the animation is poor. I find the animation definitely classical and superb. My husband watched Robin Hood for the first time when I introduced it to my kids and he was laughing hysterically and thought it was one of the best Disney movies ever. In my opinion (and my husband and children's opinion) it is the best Classical Disney movie ever made.
