Channel 4 Film (--)
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. The leads are bland and the artwork adequate but undistinguished, leaving the villains (as usual) ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Channel 4 Film (--)

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve done a lot of complaining about kids’ movies over the past year or so. It just seems as though I’ve seen the same animated movie over and over and over (with just a couple of exceptions). So, at times like this, ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at NightsAndWeekends.com (Kristin Dreyer Kramer)

DVDTalk.com (Brian Orndorf)
For some unknown reason, 1973's "Robin Hood" tends to get the cold shoulder from Disney animation purists whenever it comes up in genre conversation. For the life of me, I just don't understand the hostility to this cozy, endearing ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at DVDTalk.com (Brian Orndorf)
Decent Films Guide (Steven D. Greydanus)
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 . ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Decent Films Guide (Steven D. Greydanus)
The Rewind Forums DVD Review
"Robin Hood" has the pleasure of being the 21st animated feature film from Disney and upon its release had a few challenges to overcome. The film was the first to be released since Disney's death and skeptics doubted the film would do well, combined with ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at The Rewind Forums DVD Review

As I move inexorably toward the point of no return, I have found myself thinking a lot about the good old days. The point of no return? Well, that's the age of 30 folks. As of ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Epinions.com (Flamepillar)

Cinemaphile.org (David Keyes)
Take notice that Disney's animated version of "Robin Hood" gets three stars. There are three main reasons why it gets this rating; one, the film is more memorable than the previous animated features, "The Jungle Book" and "The Aristocats"; two, it has ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Cinemaphile.org (David Keyes)

At-A-Glance Film Reviews
This relatively weak Disney effort still has a lot to like. It would have been better had Disney remained more faithful to this classic story; human characters and English accents would have been good for starters. But it's funny enough to warrant a ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at At-A-Glance Film Reviews
Reel.com DVD review (Ken Dubois)
In the summer of 1979, this reviewer found himself in a movie house in Charlevoix, Michigan, watching the Disney film Robin Hood, and surrounded by scores of children laughing themselves silly at the animated antics onscreen. I had landed in this tiny ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Reel.com DVD review (Ken Dubois)

Currentfilm.com Review
Disney's retelling of the classic "Robin Hood" tale isn't one of the studio's most popular productions, but the 1974 film still remains a mildly entertaining adventure. The film focuses on the adventures of Robin Hood (Brian Bedford), a fox who, as the ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Currentfilm.com Review
TheCritic.info DVD review (Les Linyard)
This 1973 animation classic was made shortly after the death of Walt Disney and rather like other versions of Robin Hood the villains get the best lines (remember Alan Rickman). Here the mummy loving, thumb sucking lion, Prince John (voiced by Ustinov), ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at TheCritic.info DVD review (Les Linyard)
Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Although not generally considered one of Disney's masterpieces, there is still quite a bit of entertainment to be had from Disney's ROBIN HOOD. What's more, it is also one of the better Robin Hood adaptations on the big screen, although you have to ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
Time Out
Er, basically, no one makes cultural appropriation as much fun as Walt Disney. America is what he does best, so he does it to Robin Hood. Animated, Sherwood Forest becomes more like Nashville, Tennessee, with a slob of a sheriff humming 'Taxes are doo, ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Time Out
UltimateDisney.com
As the first Disney animated feature to enter production after Walt Disney's 1966 death, Robin Hood illustrates perhaps better than any other film where the Disney studio faltered in the wake of its namesake's passing. Looking back at the company's ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at UltimateDisney.com

Well, it's Robin Hood. OK, in medieval England the unscrupulous Prince John (Ustinov) assumes the throne while his noble brother King Richard is off slaying heathen in the Holy Land.

SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
Since the death of Walt Disney in 1966, Disney Studios went into a creative decline. Things picked up with the creation of the Touchstone division in 1984 but it wasn’t really until the revival of the classic animation tradition in the 1990s that ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at SF, Horror and Fantasy Film Review
DVD Town (John J. Puccio)
The reader may recall that the Disney animation department experienced some down time between their Golden Age in the late 1930s, 40s, and 50s and their Renaissance in the late 1980s and beyond. In other words, the 1960s and 70s were not good to them. ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at DVD Town (John J. Puccio)
Slant Magazine (Eric Henderson)
espite the fact that its ambling opening theme was later accelerated (with the help of cocaine) and turned into "The Hamster Dance," Robin Hood is one of the most lackadaisical Disney features of all. The graphics department couldn't even be bothered to ...read the complete Robin Hood movie review at Slant Magazine (Eric Henderson)
