Amazon.com:
A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story 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

Robin Hood (Most Wanted Edition)
Not known as one of Disney's better animated features, but still quite watchable. The repetitive animation reminds me of 1970s cartoon "shortcuts" that were common - look at the animal parade in the opening credits.
After a side-by-side comparison, I think the movie is better framed by the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Still, it's hard not to like a Disney animated feature with Phil Harris' voice.
Rating:  - Disney's Robin Hood
This is the best animated version. Our kids loved it when they were young and now our grandkids love it. They watched three times the first day.
Rating: - Childhood Favorite
This is a memorable favorite from my childhood that I had to have. So glad Amazon had this version. My kids are a bit too young for it but I hope they'll soon love this movie as much as I did and still do.
Rating:  - sad
The transaction was smooth. The product was damaged! This is not how it was described and I wouldn't have purchased it if I knew that the DVD was going to have a dent in it. I'm sure this seller is typically good, but this time the product sucked. I returned the DVD and received a refund. I'm just going to buy the movie from Target for a little more, but at least I'll know what I'm getting.
Rating: - Best Disney cartoon ever
If this movie doesn't give you a good laugh and fill your mind with great music then check your pulse--you just might not be with us anymore.
