Synopsis

This Disney release presents the imaginative "animal" version of the Robin Hood legend. Fun and romance abound as the swashbuckling hero of Sherwood Forest (a fox), and his valiant sidekick (a bear) plot one daring adventure after another to outwit the greedy prince (a scraggly lion) and his partner (a snake) as they put the tax squeeze on the poor.

5.0 out of 5 stars The foxiest Maid Marian ever!, 7 Oct 2007
By Jeremy W. Newbould "Django" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This was the first film I ever saw at the cinema, way back in 1973 when I was a small boy (when I did not know or care about aspect ratios). I used to live near Sherwood Forest so this film and the legend of Robin Hood were, and still are, very special for me.

It is great to see this film again on DVD in a re-mastered special edition. I found the picture and sound quality to be very good indeed even though I watched it on a small portable player. The film features some excellent actors doing the characters' voices - Peter Ustinov and Terry Thomas are perfect as Prince John and Sir Hiss and Phil Harris is a cool Little John even though this character seems to be a bit of a rehash of Baloo, the bear from Disney's version of The Jungle Book.

The animals chosen to play the human characters are an excellent choice. Robin Hood is a cunning fox and Maid Marian is of course a sexy vixen (Monica Evans has one of the most beautiful voices you will ever hear) and The Sheriff of Nottingham is a greedy fat wolf. A special mention must also be given to country singer Roger Miller as Alan-A-Dale (a rooster in this film) who narrates the tale and provides several of the songs.

The extras on this disc include a couple of fun games which younger children will enjoy and an unused alternative ending, albeit in storyboard form. I think it is a matter of opinion whether or not this ending would have been a better one than the one they actually used. I personally think this alternative ending is a bit dark compared to the tone of the rest of the film but it is interesting to be able to see it all the same.

To summarise Disney's Robin Hood, I would say that it is a great story with a host of wonderful characters, excellently voiced, and featuring some catchy songs that will have you singing along or whistling. This is my favourite Disney movie and it is still one of my favourite films of all time. If you have not seen it, it is definitely worth checking out - especially in this superb DVD version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic disney at its utmost best!, 29 Sep 2008
By K. D. Squire (Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
when asked what my favourite film is ill invariably say disneys Robin hood and the blank looks on the questioners face normally is just a comon occurance that until they have seen the film they dont understand why its so good!

Children and adults alike will love this film, ok the graphics are dated but for 1973 they are very good, the story is jolly, heart warming and a great take on an old fable.

The characters are all animals which makes a change, they are all voiced amazingly and fitting to the animal in every way! The film isnt long but with small children thats ok and the music gets stuck in your head for a good day after seeing it!

Its a definate classic for families and for the disney lover this is a must have. if you havent seen it wtch it youll love it i guarentee!

4.0 out of 5 stars Ye Olde Entertainment., 20 Aug 2007
Not having seen this film since I was 7, and missing most of it when it was last on TV earlier this year, I jumped at the chance to buy this on DVD and I wasn't disappointed.

The film itself, while the sketchy-type, with incomplete backgrounds and reused animation doesn't have the look of something from a completed studio film, but it's the charm of the character of Robin, as a fox as well as lots of other animals taking on the roles associated with the tale that captures your attention. It's quite funny as well, and one of my fave lines is: 'seize the fat one!' and the chase that follows it, :D.

Songs in this, especially 'Love' is quite good and memorable while the others are amusing more than anything. The plot is good and all in all, it's an entertaining film 7/10.

Extras, which include an alternate ending which is a little frightening at first when our hero appears to be in trouble is interesting to see, as is the Micky shorts(Ye Olden Days) and one of the games, Rescue Maid Marian(which may seem a bit confusing until you get the hang of it) and a picture gallery of conceptual art among other stuff. I'd also give these a 7/10 too.

Overall, a satisfying SE DVD.
