Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story of Robin Hood 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, Amazon.com

Synopsis
The classic tale of good triumphing over evil with Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for children!, 5 Mar 2007
This review is from: Robin Hood [DVD] [1973] (DVD)
Some say Disney is childish--but I have to disagree. An avid Robin Hood fan, I was overjoyed when this was shown on the TV not so long ago.

The characters are all animals, which adds a new dimension to the famous Robin Hood legend--all the characters with their own special little personalities from Skippy the Rabbit to the very wolfish sheriff of Nottingham.

However, the story is perfect for children to learn about the legend of Hood, for it has all the classic Disney elements such as catchy songs and fantastic imagery.

Overall one of the great Disney films, with a very fine Marian vixen to add to the entertainment. Recommended to both adults and children alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection Animated, 12 Jul 2006
By Gemma Riley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Robin Hood [DVD] [1973] (DVD)
Robin Hood is by far the best Disney film - there is no doubt about it. The voices are pretty distinctive which is always a plus. The songs are so much more catchy than in the other films. "Love" is particularly gorgeous. The romance between Maid Marian and Robin Hood is extremely sweet because in the majority of Disney films the main characters meet once and fall in love (Cinderella, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty) or don't even meet at all (Snow White). Maid Marian and Robin Hood have actually known each other from being young - the whole concept of childhood sweethearts is generally cute.
Robin Hood also shows the fact that things have to get to being rock bottom before they get better. Robin Hood doesn't just look out for Nottingham and therefore isn't on call while everyone in the area ends up being jailed for not being able to pay their taxes. Disney films (and other cartoons) don't normally show the depths of despair reached in this movie. "Not in Nottingham" is a particularly poignant song illustrating this.
The film is not all doom and gloom and the humour is present throughout, from all the characters - good and bad. The baddy sucks his thumb and is easily flattered - often the cause of his failure.
Watch it and see!

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect animation movie, 7 Dec 2006
By Tsuki (Portugal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Robin Hood [DVD] [1973] (DVD)
This movie is delicious. It may have been done way back in 1973, but I can guarantee that you will love this movie as much as you love the recent ones.
It's all about some of the characters. My personal favorite is Prince John and, of course, Sir Hiss.
Sir Hiss is Prince John's personal "assistant". He is a snake that keeps tickling Prince John's ears.
I cannot forget to mention a couple of characters that are brilliant, like the little bunny Skipper. You'll see what I mean when you watch the movie. You will want to grab that bunny!
