Critics Consensus

One of the weaker Disney adaptations, Robin Hood is cute and colorful but lacks the majesty and excitement of the studio's earlier efforts.

Alan R. Howard The Hollywood Reporter The washed-out, muted colors are a mistake, and if Robin Hood is sometimes hilarious, it has little memorable magic. Nov 29, 2018 Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine Foxes with bows and arrows. What could be better than that? Rated: 4/5 Nov 4, 2009 Full Review TIME Magazine Even at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting. Nov 4, 2009 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A dull and disjointed retelling. Rated: 1.5/4 Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Mat Brunet AniMat's Review (YouTube) Robin Hood is an enjoyable animated feature that has some of the essence of a classic Disney film to ensure that its viewers can have a good time. Rated: 7/10 Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn While the film might not be perfect, Robin Hood is one of the more underrated Disney efforts. Blending imagination with technical ability, the film is entertaining and rewarding. Apr 13, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C Funny in 1 hour and 23 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring the late Phil Harris as Little John the bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Kauã L It's not a great animated show, but it's worth watching and having some fun. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Nicholas B Robin Hood (1973) is a charming four-star animated adventure that I really enjoyed. With its memorable characters, catchy music, and lighthearted storytelling, it brings a fun twist to the classic tale. Robin Hood and Little John’s antics, combined with the lovable animation style, make it a delightful and nostalgic watch that still holds up today. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Jason T Brilliant voice cast for its time and an excellent story with a good selection of humour for all. Contains quotes and music that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. A must see from Disneys earlier works. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review matthias s *Robin Hood* is a solid 3-star adventure that hits both light and dark notes, though not always smoothly. Watching it late in the game, nostalgia’s out, but the charm isn’t. The animal twist? Genius—Robin’s a sly fox in more ways than one, and the cast is effortlessly likeable. There’s a surprising depth too, with moments that dip into pretty somber territory. The pacing, though, stumbles—sometimes racing, sometimes dragging. Still, it’s a faithful, family-friendly take on the classic, mixing playful whimsy with a touch of gloom. Not perfect, but it’s hard not to root for this foxy outlaw and his gang. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Jocelyn H Such a well done disney movie. Robin Hood is a great role model of bravery and doing what’s right. I also like that the different animal species aren’t pointed out by the characters, it’s just visuals. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
