Amazon.co.uk Review:
A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story of Robin Hood is more charming than one might expect. Perhaps it's the warm, chummy take on key relationships within the legend--the way Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) gets twitterpated whenever the subject of Maid Marian (Monica Evans) comes up or the way best pal Little John (Phil Harris voicing a variation on his own Baloo from The Jungle Book) admonishes the Sherwood Forest hero, "Aw, Rob, why dontcha just marry the girl?" (Then, of course, there's the canny "casting" of the romantic leads as foxes: Robin the sly one and Marian the, well, foxy one.) The rest of the vocal cast is lively and eclectic: Peter Ustinov, Andy Devine, Terry Thomas, George Lindsey. Roger Miller provides the songs and voice for the minstrel character Allan-A-Dale. The film is ably directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, whose decades of work in Disney's animation division helped create the studio's rich legacy. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

- The Original Disney version
The Video cover shown is NOT for the animated version described - it is for the film (not animated) version of the Walt Disney film circa 1950? The film was a 'classic' starring Richard Todd, Joan Rice, Peter Finch and Hubert Gregg. I have seen it many times and have the VHS version as shown on your site. I had trouble finding a copy!

- Misses the Mark
Given the worthy actors in this film it isn't quite bad enough to be terrible, but it is an embarrassment. Richard Todd usually turns in a good performance, but here, as Robin Hood, he is one-dimensional and completely unconvincing, as are James Hayter (Friar Tuck) and James Robertson Justice (Little John). Peter Finch as the Sheriff of Nottingham turns out the best acting performance, but that's relative -- he's just the best of a bad bunch. As to Joan Rice as Maid Marian, the less said the better -- 'inept' is less enough.

This is essentially a British film, but stamped 'Disney', replete with cardboard castles and imitation countryside. Perhaps it was made for children. I know I enjoyed it as a 10-year-old at the Essoldo in Salford, ... Read More:

- Not meant to be a masterpiece, made just for fun!
When King Richard Caeur de Lion leaves his throne behind to take on a crusade, his place is taken over by his greedy younger brother, Prince John. With his two henchmen, Sir Hiss and the Sheriff of Nottingham, Prince John manages to bring the land into a deep depression with citizens starving and living in gray misery. However, not all is lost for the poor, helpless people of Nottingham, the kind outlawed Robin Hood and his faithful companion, Little John have made a promise to keep their hopes alive by "borrowing" from the rich to give to the poor. A promise they manage to keep without getting into deep trouble until the very day they attempt this against Prince John himself. Being terribly humiliated before his own minions, Prince John seeks revenge ... Read More:

A definate timeless classic -for children big and small!!

- Perfect for children!
Some say Disney is childish--but I have to disagree. An avid Robin Hood fan, I was overjoyed when this was shown on the TV not so long ago.

The characters are all animals, which adds a new dimension to the famous Robin Hood legend--all the characters with their own special little personalities from Skippy the Rabbit to the very wolfish sheriff of Nottingham.

However, the story is perfect for children to learn about the legend of Hood, for it has all the classic Disney elements such as catchy songs and fantastic imagery.

Overall one of the great Disney films, with a very fine Marian vixen to add to the entertainment. Recommended to both adults and children alike!
