Synopsis
Young Robin Hood, in love with Maid Marian, enters an archery contest with his father at the King's palace. On the way home his father is murdered by hench men of Prince John. Robin takes up the life of an outlaw, gathering together his band of merry men with him in Sherwood Forest, to avenge his father's death and to help the people of the land that Prince John are over taxing.
Critics' reviews
- "Mostly just a bland, sanitized rip-off of the 1938 Errol Flynn version, offering little in terms of new contributions to the tale, and not improving substantially on anything that was already there."
- "The story is a familiar one, but, given the Disney treatment, the legendary heroes and events seem even more romantic."
- "Not as stirring a piece of mythology as the Errol Flynn version, but a robust, handsome production"
