Movie Info
Robin Hood is one of the first animated films produced by the Walt Disney Company after Walt Disney's death in 1967. For the film, the studio's animators took the Disney tradition of adding human-like animal sidekicks to established tales (Cinderella, Pinnochio) a step further by making Robin Hood's legendary characters creatures themselves. Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) is a wily fox; Maid Marian (Monica Evans) is a beautiful vixen; Little John (Phil Harris) is a burly bear; Friar Tuck (Andy

Even at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting.
Top CriticWhat sinks this one is the utter lack of the childhood insight and sympathy that really give the Disney films their staying power.
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.
No one makes cultural appropriation as much fun as Walt Disney.
Top CriticThe visual style is charmingly conventional, as gently reassuring as that of a Donald Duck cartoon, sometimes as romantically pretty as an old Silly Symphony.
A dull and disjointed retelling that spends more time on the buffoonish antics of Prince John and Sir Hiss than on the outlaw archer.
Of all the Disney movies from the '70s, 'Robin Hood' had perhaps the most potential, but suffers from a mild case of 'averageitis.'
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.
like 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.
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.
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.
It's good for that time period from which the Disney studios were struggling to make good animated pictures.
