Robin Hood

Robin Hood

Disney's version of the classic story about the prince of thieves. 1973. Director: Wolfgang Reitherman.
The well-liked King Richard is fighting for justice in the Holy Land, while the greedy prince John is forcing the peasants in England to pay extreme taxes.
Robin Hood and his companion Little John are stealing the collected taxes to give the money back to the people who it belong to. Robin is very popular and every peasant love him for his kindness.
The Maid Marion and Robin where sweethearts as children, and she's wondering if he's forgotten about her. But he certainly hasn't. He can't stop thinking of her, his true love.
But will they ever be able to get married when Robin is a wanted outlaw? Will Robin and his friends be able to get all the taxes back to the people who's living without any money at all and almost no food to eat?
This is a funny and sometimes really good film. Little John reminds me very, very much of Baloo in "The Jungle Book". It's like it's the same bear.
Some things in this film is very alike scenes in other Disney films, but it's not so disturbing. Marion is cute and Robin especially is adorable when they walk around, so in love. The scene at the tournament is really hilarious!
