ROCKIN ROBIN
ROBIN HOOD is given a remastered edition, and while not one of Disney's most endearing movies, it has some charming moments and good voice characterizations. Peter Ustinov stands out as Prince John, the rascally usurper of his brother's throne; Terry-Thomas is fun as Hiss, the snake who is John's henchreptile; Roger Miller is an adequate troubador; Pat Buttram makes for a fine Sheriff; Andy Devine is funny as Friar Tuck and Phil Harris blusters through his Little John role. Unfortunately, Brian Bedford is a weak Robin, although Carole Shelley is delightful as Madam Cluck. The songs aren't the greatest, but they're done with energy and flair. Kids will probably enjoy it but 101 DALMATIANS remains my favorite Disney toon.
