With the good King Richard gone off to the Crusades, thanks to the evil doings of Sir Hiss, Sherwood Forest has fallen on hard times. The villainous Prince John now sits upon the throne while the people of Nottingham are in despair. Help arrives from skilled archer Robin Hood, who steals from the rich to give back to the poor. Being hunted by the Sheriff of Nottingham doesn't stop this master of disguise and his outlaw friends, Little John and Friar Tuck, from doing good. Their favorite target is the prince, but don't be fooled into thinking it's just for pure adventure. Nottingham's future ? and winning the hand of the fair Maid Marian ? are what's most important to this cunning hero! (official distributor synopsis)

Exactly as innocent and sincere as is fitting for classic Disney movies. Little John takes from the rich, Robin gives to the poor, the sheriff of Nottingham is a villain with every hair, and the beautiful Marian winks lovingly, causing arrows to fly off target. In a swinging song arrangement and with extensive help from a witty snake, an inconspicuous but all the more magical presentation of the most famous outlaw adventure is created. It aims "only" in a romantic-educational direction, but hits the bullseye.

The 21st Disney Feature Film After Disney's death, the spirit of the real Disney films seemed to have vanished, leaving only a sort of empty vessel, an outline and a theory. It's a sad look at an animal version of Robin Hood, where cuteness, righteousness, the grotesque, and the song are all put together to form nothing.

A classic tale of Robin Hood, only with the twist that Robin Hood is a fox and all the other characters are animals. Of course, even Lady Marian is a fox, because otherwise, it could be quite creepy, so the evil sheriff, who is not a fox, can't have her... It's not very memorable; it's just occasionally humorous and brings a laugh here and there.
