“A jaunty, beautifully animated series of very funny set pieces that remain effective” – IndieWireIf any Walt Disney animated classic can be considered a true cult favorite, it’s this delightfully eccentric take on the Merrie Olde English legend of Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Anthropomorphizing its title hero as an almost too-dashing fox, ROBIN HOOD is a feast of adorable mammalian character designs and a folksy sense of humor that dragged the timeless tale straight into the 1970s. With a charming handmade scruffiness that marks it out from the House of Mouse’s typically slick style, ROBIN HOOD was dismissed by critics but beloved by audiences, later becoming the very first entry in the “Walt Disney Classics” line of VHS releases. The film maintains a legion of fans, including Wes Anderson (who repurposed the film’s Oscar-nominated ballad “Love” for his own vulpine animated tale, The Fantastic Mr. Fox), Byron Howard (whose film Zootopia drew direct inspiration from ROBIN HOOD), and a legion of furries who simply can’t get enough of Robin and Maid Marian. (We can’t exactly blame them!)
