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. Full Review |

[An] enjoyable animated feature from Disney Studios. Full Review |

Even at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting. Full Review |

|
|
What sinks this one is the utter lack of the childhood insight and sympathy that really give the Disney films their staying power. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

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

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. Full Review |

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. Full Review |
