Product: Robin Hood [VHS] (1973)
Rating: 4.0
Good movie from the fluff decade
Disney's version of Robin Hood comes from the era when Disney did miserably. Time has great healing properties, though, and since this movie is now a classic, it's easy to see it for what it is--a royal treat. As in Aristocats, the animation is not all there. The movie is also of a somewhat low energy, and there's quite a bit of bad recycling. Look past that, however, and you'll find a movie that's a treat for the whole family. It's funny. It's a classic tale of doing what's right. It has a fair amount of love and romance. How can you go wrong? The oscar nominated song "Love", along with the accompanying scene, will touch your heart. It's true that Robin Hood is not one of the greats and is not as heartwarming as some, but to say that this movie has no heart is terribly wrong. Enjoy this movie. It hints at better things to come. If you're into foxes, however, I recommend The Fox and the Hound. It has a better story, better animation, and it is also very heartwarming.
