Buy This Item Robin Hood by Buena Vista Distribution Company  Available from Amazon  $22.99  on 7-17-2008     A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story is more charming than one might expect. Perhaps it's the warm, chummy take on key relationships within the legend--the way Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) gets twitterpated whenever the subject of Maid Marian (Monica Evans) comes up or the way best pal Little John (Phil Harris voicing a variation on his own Baloo from <I>The Jungle Book</I>) admonishes the Sherwood Forest hero, "Aw, Rob, why dontcha just marry the girl?" (Then, of course, there's the canny "casting" of the romantic leads as foxes: Robin the sly one and Marian the, well, foxy one.) The rest of the vocal cast is lively and eclectic: Peter Ustinov, Andy Devine, Terry-Thomas, George Lindsey. Roger Miller provides the songs and voice for the minstrel character Allan-A-Dale. The film is ably directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, whose decades of work in Disney's animation division helped create the studio's rich legacy. <I>--Tom Keogh</I> Reader Reviews I love this movie. I had tried buying it here at Amazon used and the product never showed up. I paid for it and complained to Amazon but was told to e-mail the seller directly, which I did to no avail. Great movie but they stole my money. The only time I've ever had a problem with Amazon.
