Our search continues with our take on Robin Hood, Disney's anthropomorphic animal spin on the classic English legend. We'll take a look at why this movie is so subjectively dear to us despite the fact that it's objectively very surface-level on a lot of our key points.
Don't miss:
- How the film handles the historical subject matter without making it too heavy for its young audience
- The creative way the narrator is used throughout the film as both an exposition tool and an inside look at everyday life in Nottingham
- The controversial sequence that definitely doesn't fit with anything else in the movie
- The film's final score, which is surprisingly low for how much we subjectively enjoy it
PLUS, we talk through all the thoughts our audience had when they watched the movie, including several viewers' thoughts on why they loved this movie when they were young.
