There haven't been very many well-known Disney movies that I know of that were highly successful nor as groundbreaking during the 1960s through the first half of the 1980s and some of the Disney movies that were made during that time should've been more successful. The Disney animated edition of Robin Hood is one of those and is in fact, probably my favorite Disney movie of all-time.

Released in 1973, it is a wonderful adaptation of the medieval novel with the characters being animal humanoids with Robin Hood being A Fox, Little John a Bear, Friar Tuck being a badger, and the greedy and semi-evil Prince John being a Lion. It's all so entertaining and so much fun to watch and laugh to with all of the charm and charisma that I think a lot of Disney movies during the 1970s and 1980s lacked. Don't get me wrong, most of Disney's movies are great but Robin Hood in my opinion is one of the most overlooked classics of all-time and also is my favorite Disney movie of all time, alongside the also overlooked "The Great Mouse Detective".

As you might already know, it's a tale of an outlaw who robs the rich Prince John and his goon wolf The Sheriff, to feed the poor and the hungry in Nottingham and dreams of marrying a lovely lady named Maid Marian and it's all so wonderful. If those who are turned off by the excessive drama or the unsettling atmosphere of the Kevin Costner classic "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves", this Disney edition will definitely make a wonderful substitute. I recommend both versions of Robin Hood. I like the Disney one more.

The background music is also highly memorable with some incredible catchy songs and battle scenes that are just enough to keep you laughing for a very long time and just the whole atmosphere of the movie makes Robin Hood one of the most underrated and overlooked classics of all time. A lot of more popular Disney movies while great, they don't seem to impress me as much as Robin Hood has, and some are just downright pap! Robin Hood doesn't fall into that category. It has the fun and joy for young kids to enjoy and the style and timeless music and storytelling to entertain the adults. I would even go far as to say that Robin Hood is better than Aladdin, and Prince of Egypt. Don't get me wrong, those are classics too but not at the heights of Robin Hood though.

This product is from somewhere else and the subtitle is in italian. The DVD won't play on my computer or DVD player, giving a message that we are not in the right region to play this DVD. This product should be clearly marked as not in English and should not be sold to places where it can't be played.

Such a classic. I am looking forward to watching with our children! Arrived very promptly. Would recommend to other people!

my grandchildren loved this product. they are the first ones amongst their friends who have this video and they had a play date and invited all their friend to come and watch this video

Hilarious movie with great animation even after all this time. Some good lessons too. My kids love the movie, and so do we!

I love this movie and always have. It is very funny and entertaining to watch even as an adult.

A good movie , I enjoyed watching it again with my son . First movie I ever saw in a theater .

This is one of my favourite films, bar none. Though considered one of the lesser works to come out of Disney's animation studios, Robin Hood (1973) is nonetheless a true gem in my estimation. The transformation of the characters into animals works surprisingly well, and lends a levity to the story without diluting the impact of the Robin Hood legend. And, oh, the humour! I had forgotten what a genuinely funny film this is. Yet, at the same time, there is drama, pathos and, of course, romance. This is an easy, sweet, non-threatening introduction to the Robin Hood story, ideally suited for the younger set, yet full of subtleties that adults will appreciate. The animation and voices are outstanding, and help this film come to life. I first saw this as a boy in 1982, and adored it then. Now, as an adult, I adore it no less. The "Most Wanted Edition" DVD is worth the price, as it contains interactive content that is both fun and educational. This is a wholesome, life-affirming treat that the whole family will enjoy!

La version animée de "Robin des Bois" de Dinsey a été sortie de l'atelier au cours de la plus importante sécheresse. En regardant ce film, vous pouvez ressentir que l'équipe de l'atelier ont essayer de rétablir elle-même la situation après la mort de son fondateur. Les scènes du films précédents ont été recyclées (note de la scène dans une séquence musicale beaucoup de liens entre "Blanche-Neige" et "Les Aristochats"). Seulement une ou deux chansons sont mémorables, mais ce n'est pas aussi mauvais que ça puisse paraître. L'animation de "Robin des Bois" a un rachat de choses sur elle.
La raison pour laquelle les adultes ne trouve pas ce film passionnant, car il est strictement destiné à des enfants. Mais l'accent mis sur le maintien des relations saines avec les êtres chers au cours des temps difficiles est quelque chose à admirer. Faut dire que "Robin des Bois" manque de cœur est un peu de dure. Oui, il manque d'une histoire forte, mais il est injuste de rejeter tous l'ensemble, juste pour cela. Le film sans prétention et la simplicité de la nature a aidé "Robin des Bois" à recevoir l'attention du grand public et de l'appréciation au cours des années. Il peut ne pas être un "classique" des film de Disney, mais c'est certainement un des plus admirable.

This is one of the best animated Disney films out there! Still wonderful after all these years. A classic tale done in fun Disney style.
