Robin Hood
Director: Wolfgang Reitherman, David Hand
Actors: Brian Bedford, Phil Harris, Roger Miller
PlotIn a medieval kingdom where the residents are anthropomorphic animals, a charismatic fox named Robin and his loyal friend, Little John, a bear, live as outlaws in Sherwood Forest. The greedy Prince John, a lion, has taken over the throne while his brother, King Richard, is away on the Crusades. Prince John imposes excessive taxes on the citizens, forcing many into poverty. Robin and Little John, along with their band of Merry Men, execute daring heists on Prince John's treasury to redistribute the wealth to the oppressed townsfolk. During one of their escapades, they encounter the timid but wise Friar Tuck and the lovely Maid Marian, a vixen who is Robin's love interest from his past.
The story progresses as Robin and his comrades cleverly thwart Prince John's numerous attempts to capture them. Their exploits turn Robin into a folk hero and thorn in the side of the corrupt regime. With each new adventure, Robin not only challenges the prince's tyranny but also reignites hope among the people of Nottingham. Amidst the struggle for justice and romance with Maid Marian, Robin engages in a cat-and-mouse game with Prince John and the shrewd Sheriff of Nottingham, leading to larger conflicts that will ultimately test Robin’s bravery and cunning.
