Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A long time ago, in a faraway land, legend tells an extraordinary tale of courage and friendship.... Get ready for swashbuckling adventure, unforgettable characters, memorable music, and lots of laughs in Disney's ROBIN HOOD. Heroic Robin Hood -- along with his trusted companion Little John and his devoted band of merry men -- conjures up one famously funny and daring deed after another to outfox greedy Prince John and bring happiness to the residents of Sherwood Forest.
"'Robin Hood' is not considered one of Disney's best movies - and neither have its live-action adaptations gone very well. Despite this, the studio gave a new face to the English hero, who stole from the nobility to give to the poor. The story brings up good questions about politics, society and class struggle, putting it in a children's movie is a hit. The narrative of the Prince of Thieves reaches the animal kingdom through the creative mind of director Wolfgang Reitherman. The movie may not have pleased many people, but it does have its merits."
