Customer Reviews

Don't pay too much for this DVD!
This DVD is a Disney Movie Club exclusive, so can be purchased by joining the club. Even given the additional cost of buying the DVDs necessary to fulfill your agreement, it's still cheaper than paying an exorbinant price on Amazon.

The presentation itself is quite good, but not worth ridiculous money.

Finally a Chance to See a Decent Print
A number of years ago, I reviewed the VHS version of this live-action Disney version of Robin Hood. I consider this to be the best Robin Hood film, but the VHS print was washed out and grainy. This DVD print is not a restoration, but colors are vibrant and the image and sound are at least three times better than what we had to settle for on VHS.

A lot of major artists were involved in the production of this movie, including Geoffrey Unsworth (cinematographer of Superman I), Muir Matheison (conductor of the London Symphony)and director Ken Annakin (pal of George Lucas and namesake for Skywalker Anakin, AKA Darth Vader). Every major cast member (Academy Award winner Peter Finch, Joan Rice, James Robertson Justice, Hubery Gregg) is long dead, with the exception of Robin Hood himself, Richard Todd, who as of this writing at least, is spending his late eighties in a peaceful village north of London. I wonder if it's near Sherwood Forest?

Robin Hood on DVD?
The reviewer above said it is cheaper to join Disney Movie club but I could not find this wonderful Robin Hood on DVD at that club, only VHS.
