Disney Animation during their classic era is well known for recycling their own animation, but none are the best example of that than their adaptation of Robin Hood, a basic version of the tale, but still has a lot of the classic fun that Disney knew how to do best.

It's not bad but its never been my favorite Disney film. The reused animation is almost hysterical at times oh my was some corners cut.

I really like this movie, while I wouldn’t go as far and say this is one of my favorite Disney animated films, it’s still a very fun and enjoyable movie and definitely one of the most iconic versions of the classic story. While the story itself isn’t really the best, it does make up for it with some great animation despite them reusing animation from the past Disney animated films, some very fun and enjoyable character and very good voice acting, overall while not one of my favorite Disney animated films, it’s still a fun and enjoyable watch. So the next classic review is going to be The Pebble and the Penguin, which is definitely not one of Don Bluth’s best animated films but far from one of his worst either so this is gonna be very interesting.

A pox on those phony critics of England Oo De Lally

This is one of my guilty pleasure films, as it does have some songs that I absolutely enjoy being Whistle Stop. I absolutely love the action scenes in this movie (especially with the wacky humor of the archery tournament). I will agree that some scenes do feel like filler it is not as bad. And on the animation, there are times where it is fun yet off putting on the recycled animation, while others like the good scenes where you do see the veterans good at their craft and other times where you can tell that the animation is limited to save costs. This was fun to look deeply into this film into what it is, but I had no idea that Republicans tried to ban Robin Hood back in the 50's, which is something we need to fight and keep because books can have an impact. As for the next film I am interested to check out this review of The Pebble and the Penguin. I did see the movie and I will agree that this is not Don Bluth's strongest work. So this will be an interesting review.

I was surprised when he announced last month that my request of Robin Hood would be next since I had initially been told that the review wouldn’t be until October, anyway I wasn’t complaining that it ended up being earlier lol next review I’m guessing is going to be pebble and the penguin which should be interesting. As for Robin Hood itself I actually do enjoy this movie and think that it’s a lot of fun and very enjoyable

AW Man! I was honestly hoping for the title will be called: Robin Hood...With Animals. I actually like that fake title it was so anticlimmatic they think it was more complex than something like "The Great Mouse Detective".

It above average at best in my opinion as I did remember watching that movie a few times as a kid cause I know it not Disney’s best work they have done but as a Robin Hood movie adaptation, it is one of the most memorable films of many adaptations of the myth legend of Robin Hood. When you compare to the other films like the Kevin Costner film that has a great score that lead to be used as a fanfare for Morgan Creek and on the Disney intro on DVD and Blu-ray at the time, the Ridley Scott film, or even that terrible 2018 film, they don’t have that sense of fun and wonder as they usually take it very seriously that doesn’t that ends up making little repeat viewing or memorable even. The closest that I can think of that can be up there with the Disney film is the Mel Brooks film in 1993 or even a cameo of them in Shrek and that it. For the movie, it good when it comes to voice acting, tone, songs that was played during montages, funny villains, and animation despite being reused a lot, but the rest when it comes story, writing, some of the characters, and pacing it can be ranged okay to weak at best. I wouldn’t mind watching again whenever I’m in a mood for something enjoyable. It decent but fun at best. And oh boy, we’re dealing with another mediocre to bad Don Bluth related film which this time Bluth made the movie himself with The Pebble and the Penguin. I have yet to watch it, but I should just so I know what I’m about to get into because I know this is one of Bluth’s weaker films but not so awful in the veins like Rockadoodle or Troll in Central Park but I do hope it not as bad as everyone said it is.

Alright! NOW We're Talking! All to say I LOVED this movie, all the up to the day I was born! I mean that seriously my mom actually have stories how many times she would play this when I was little (More as a tool to calm me down when I would be grumpy). Even today I hold merits to know every scene, every line, every song, from beginning to end. In fact you know this is such a childhood favorite that even became a key inspiration for Zootopia if I'm not mistaken. In fact I even knew some people who still love doing the whistle stop bit, I even say it even taught me how to whistle. Honestly I'll say I might not handle some of the criticism consider it as a childhood favorite, but hey not everything is perfect, and I'm still glad how this turned out. I wouldn't even change a thing!

I’ll say probably my more preferred adaptation of Robin Hood would go to Men in Tights. Can’t be the charm of Cary Ewles. And oh god, next one is Pebble and the Penguin. I don’t think it’s a good sign when Don Bluth (no joke) had his name written out if the credits. Funny given he was part of the crew for Disney’s Robin Hood.

Watched this on Disney+ and while not one of Disney’s best, this one does have its own charm and enjoyability thanks to the performances of the actors making their versions of the Robin Hood characters iconic in their own way, especially Peter Ustinov’s voice performance of Prince John, and the songs. It’s a simple film that’s a good way of introducing kids to the Robin Hood tale. Plus, its impact on culture can’t be denied what with this being the inspiration for the Furry community, this being the first animated film released in the Classics VHS line during the mid-80s, the song Whistle Stop being used as the chorus in the Hamster Dance song, the use of the song Love in Fantastic Mr. Fox and especially HourofPoop’s YouTube Poop “Friar’s Rubbing Wood - Fall of Nottingham”. Looks like you got another Don Bluth film to review (and no, The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue doesn’t count as that one didn’t have his involvement) and this time, it’s The Pebble and the Penguin. Going to be a downgrade from your review of The Land Before Time, but at least it won’t be a frustrating experience as Rock-a-Doodle was.
