Product: Robin Hood [VHS] (1973)
Rating: 5.0
outrageously funny and wonderful film!
This film may happen to be one of the lesser-known Disney films, but it was one ofmy favourites as a little girl and it still is a big favourite now. A lot of imagery and character personalities are lifted from other films (especially the Jungle Book), but it's worth the money if you want a film that is insanely funny, clever and appropriate for all ages. Prince John (played with comic genius by Peter Ustinov) is a lion with an odd habit--whenever things don't go his way,he sucks his thumb and whimpers "Mummy!" Little John (whose voice actor also was the voice of Baloo) is charmingly goofy and a little reminiscent of John Wayne, while the Sheriff of Nottingham is uproariously funny with a Texas drawl. Trigger and Nutsy, two guards who also happen to be vultures, are funny too, with Nutsy screaming "1 o clock and ALL'S WELL!", sounding like a female version of Forrest Gump.Basically--it is worth it. It may not be "one of the best" but it's worth it for the laughs.
