Robin Hood (Disney)

Summary: Oodalolly!! :o)
Review: This is my favorite Walt Diseny movie, and one of my favorite movies besides. I was enchanted as a kid, I loved the jokes, (which were very funny, some of them) and it was what made me love Robin Hood. I love how the story is with animals, I love how Robin is a fox, and so on. Some friends of mine from England had come over for a visit, and noticed that they pronounce words quite differently, like Nottingham, but I still enjoyed it just as much, or more, than the other versions of Robin Hood, so Oodalolly, golly what a day!! Hee hee, :o)

Summary: The Best
Review: This is one of the BEST Robin Hood films ever made! I caught this one on Disney when it first came out. I loved the silly king and the goofy vile snake. Such a great classic film. Memories to be made with this one.

Summary: Oo-de-lally..Oo-de-lally, we're having such a good time....!
Review: I first saw this movie as a little kid, and enjoyed the charming plotline. Instead of overhyped cartoony graphics, Disney is wooing viewers through plotline.

Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a sly Fox who is out to help the people of Nottingham with his best friend Little John (Phil Harris). The bumbling-but-evil Sheriff of Nottinghan (Pat Buttram) convieniently is a wolf. This wolf does not actually devour anybody but he enjoys getting money from the citizens of Nottingham by anyway possible (hitting somebody on a broken foot).

Sir Hiss (Terry Thomas), Prince John's (Peter Ustinov) most trusted adviser is a slick snake. Hiss is so underhanded that he enjoys tormenting Prince John about the favirotism his 'mummy' showed to brother King Richard (also voiced by Ustinov) when they were growing up. This part of the storyline tries to make viewers have sympathy for the prince, his unhappy childhood turned him into a villan and he would also have been a good person under different circumstances.

To catch Robin Hood, Prince John holds an archery contest with the prize being a kiss from Maid Marian (Monica Evans), the love of Robin's life . Robin is disgused as a stork, but his disguse is unmasked as he is presented to the royal viewing box! Robin Hood's escape from this tight sittuation is one of many reasons why this film continues to hold my interest.

The songs in this film are so memorable that I still remember them vividly after all of these years...and honestly have difficulty recalling most of Disney's more recent catalog.

Summary: Not for all kids
Review: I decided to write this review after reading about how great this movie is, and how kids will love it. Yes, some of the animals are cute, and there are some funny bits, but I want to write this to warn that this movie might not be for all kids.

When I saw it (in 1st or 2nd grade - I'm 25 now) I thought the first half was okay, but the scenes where the animals were being taken to jail with chains around their necks really upset me. I would feel spaced-out and nauseated and I wasn't able to tell anybody else because all the other kids loved the movie and I was embarrassed to admit how much it upset me.

I did have kind of a traumatic childhood with my mother being hospitalized repeatedly for mental illness (probably schizophrenia) so as an adult I've thought maybe those scenes, especially the fight between Friar Tuck and the Sheriff, which ends when a buzzard on the Sheriff's back throws a sack over his head and clamps a chain around his neck.

I don't know why that movie upset me so much when the other kids seemed to love it. I had to watch it several times in school assemblies up until 3rd grade because apparently it was popular. I never told anyone how it made me feel until very recently.

I'm not saying it's a bad movie, though the animation was only so-so. I'm just writing this because some of the other reviewers said that kids wouldn't pay attention to the violent scenes I just described but focus instead on "the cute animals and the songs".

Summary: Delightful
Review: Disney's Robin Hood (1973)

Children are guaranteed to love this movie. I got it as a the film book of this movie as a birthday present when I was six years old, and it started me on a passion for all things Robin Hood, which led to a lifelong and consuming interest and history!
All this from an animated kids movie, starring animals as all the characters. This has got everything for the kids.
Adventure, romance, sadness turning to joy, and the triumph of good over evil.

Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a fox with a delightful 007 accent, as is his beloved Maid Marion (Monica Evans) with her nanny being a big fat, jolly hen. Little John (Phil Harris) is a bear; Prince John is lion with a very sinister snake as his aide de camp - Sir Hiss. The Sheriff of Nottingham is a very nasty wolf, which robs the mice, rabbits, pigs etc that make up the poor, oppressed people of England. Friar Tuck is a bear; Allan-A-Dale is rooster with a Deep South accent.

Most importantly there is never a dull moment, with lots of action and songs etc. This should be the first video/DVD for every child.

Summary: the best robin hood movie ever.
Review: this is an old animated robin hood movie where the characters are animals.robin and marion are foxes.the taxman is a bear.so is john.the poor are mice.the kings a lion.you get the idea.robin robs from the rich and gives to the poor.the sheriff gets jacked and eventualy the folk hero has a duel with the king himself!the kids like it.i loved it when i was little.its a wholesome family film.its a true story so thats a plus.the kids will be educated and entertained.some of the scenes of the patheticly poor people a bit much for some kids.i guess the message is rob from the rich and give to the poor.but,wouldnt that just make the poor rich.soon hed be stealing from them and returning it to the king anyway.
