Oh-de-lally!!
Disney's animated "Robin Hood" remains one of my all-time favorites. From Roger Miller's outstanding musical compositions (Miller is also the voice of Alan A-Dale, the minstrel/rooster) to the marvelous voice casting (e.g., Terry-Thomas as Sir Hiss, the prime minister/snake), this film is a can't miss. The classic tale is told fairly accurately, including the Golden Arrow competition and so on, but in an entertaining fashion that will capture the attention of young and young-at-heart alike. The animal characters are actually well-thought-out (Robin Hood and Maid Marian are foxes, Little John is a bear, Friar Tuck is a badger) and help move the tale along remarkably well. This is a real treat, and should not be missed.
