Compared 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.

Robin Hood is one of the most lackadaisical Disney features of all.

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.

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.

Not one of Disney's better animated efforts; it lacks the majesty of earlier works.

The nadir in the history of Disney animation. Simply a disgrace.
