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.

The washed-out, muted colors are a mistake, and if Robin Hood is sometimes hilarious, it has little memorable magic.

Foxes with bows and arrows. What could be better than that?

Even at its best, Robin Hood is only mildly diverting.

In the context of Disney’s long string of animated features it cannot help but feel like part of a low point for the company. Better films came before and after. This one just sort of sits there.

2nd best Disney movie ever, Yo! Just behind Aladdin. My significant other likes it, especially the folky music. She doesn’t understand why they have American accents thought. I did also point out they are all talking animals.

Avoiding compassion to other Disney films, this film works very well to match the depression of the era and ideals of generosity and hope. Its good fun and entertaining to children from all decades.

What a fun and thrilling adaptation of Robin Hood! But, there are a few scenes with outdated and inappropriate humor.
