"Robin Hood"
I love the old animated Disney films. Even the lesser known or poorer ones such as "Oliver and Company" or "Aristocats". The charm to Robin Hood is his persona and his relationships off of the other characters. His rapport with Little John is heart-warming and I do like the sense of camaraderie between them. His love/romance with Maid Marian is sweet, though I do wish that more time was devoted to it. In fact, Maid Marian vanishes in the third act of the film and only appears at the end of the films during their marriage. Where did she go? Was she just sitting in the forest and waiting for the action to pass her by? She displays some ferocity and bravery when she throws a pie in a guard's face during the action sequence in the middle of the film (Which is a hilarious and greatly done set piece). I am a sucker for romance and I do love the chemistry that the two foxes share, it's something that you can all sit down and enjoy. The supporting characters are enjoyably fun and memorable. The one thing that old Disney films (and some newer ones) can do so well is the side characters. You remember them all and you love seeing them get their way. King John and Hiss are OTT and it sounds like the actors are having an absolute ball with their roles. I can't say I didn't like them, as even if they're are evil, they provide some hysterical lines. The kids didn't annoy me here, as I thought they would. They're adorable and I did like their enthusiasm of following after Robin Hood. The action is great and the final climax is bundles of fun. I would say more, but the charming main character, the adorable romance and the fun side-characters provide a good 80 minutes of fun filled fluff.
