Product: Robin Hood [VHS] (1973)
Rating: 5.0
Still enjoyable after all these years...
First, I have to admit I have been a fan of Disney's original animations for years. I owned videos/DVD's of most of the early features. When I saw that Robin Hood was coming out, I preordered. Here's why: Roger Miller, Phil Harris, Peter Ustinov and the myriad of voices long since lost; the lyrics of Johnny Mercer for "Phony King" (Savannah's own!) are great. While the voices of Robin and Marian are not as familiar (at least not to me) they capture the `humanity' of the foxes.I saw this film in the theater when it originally came out. I had already purchased the video but I got the DVD for the extra features and the restoration. Even on my old TV the picture is clear and the colors bright. I just wish I had a better sound system with which to enjoy the music.I viewed the alternative ending as well. Somehow, I think it would have been more interesting had it been used. It really showed King John (Mommy!) for what he really is.All in all, I was not disappointed.
