Blatantly caters to a juvenile audience, without making even the slightest attempt to entertain the grown-ups unless it happens that they like Saturday morning cartoon-level hijinks.

Foxes with bows and arrows. What could be better than that?

[An] enjoyable animated feature from Disney Studios.

Top CriticEven at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting.
11/04/09
Top CriticWhat sinks this one is the utter lack of the childhood insight and sympathy that really give the Disney films their staying power.

Top CriticCompared with modern Disney films, which are dominated by the self-absorption and eventual self-discovery of their main characters, Robin Hood offers surprisingly stark and interesting social questions.

Top Criticlike many of these old classics, it's fun to revisit with my own kids

Robin Hood is one of the most lackadaisical Disney features of all.
12/03/06
Robin Hood might be something of a mess around the fringes, but there's a kindness, joviality, and lovely sense of community ingrained in the picture that makes it irresistible.

It's bright and colorful, to be sure, with an emphasis on cuteness throughout, so tots will probably like it.

No one makes cultural appropriation as much fun as Walt Disney.

As post-Sleeping Beauty Disney animated features go, Robin Hood is a fine entry, better than Sword in the Stone or Fox and the Hound but not as good as Jungle Book or The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
10/10/03
Not one of Disney's better animated efforts; it lacks the majesty of earlier works.
10/09/03
The nadir in the history of Disney animation. Simply a disgrace.
05/30/03
Disney's animated musical version of the oft-filmed legend casts animals in the traditional roles and the film consequently flounders in its own cuteness.
