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

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 Audience Member The Disney touch brought to a timeless legend. The animation is that classic, hand-drawn style of the 60s, 70s, and 80s; there’s no way to replicate that. There's this unique humanity and flawedness about it that makes it appear so natural and welcoming to the eye.

It's too complex for them. While they may not understand the story, this movie is a very engaging, chaotic, hilarious mess (in a good way). It's confusing to say the least, but has fun songs, wacky characters, and one part of a song is what formed one of the world's biggest Internet memes! To put it safely, I wouldn't recommend for kids under 5, as they may get bored, but it's definitely a must-watch if you just need something footloose, loony, and simple. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Lord V A great Disney classic.
