Some Disney classics remain in your heart for their simplicity, charm and characters and one of those we all loved is that of Robin Hood. Now you can remember those day of Oo De Lally fun as Disney is celebrating the 40th Anniversary of this beloved classic by giving it the Blu-Ray release fans have been waiting for.
“The film is narrated by the rooster Alan-a-Dale, who explains that Robin Hood and Little John live in Sherwood Forest, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor townsfolk of Nottingham. The Sheriff of Nottingham and his posse often try to catch the two but fail every time. Meanwhile, Prince John and his assistant Sir Hiss, arrive in Nottingham. Sir Hiss hypnotised Prince John’s brother King Richard to go off on the Crusades, allowing Prince John to take the throne. Unfortunately, the prince is greedy and immature, even sucking his thumb whenever his mother is mentioned. Robin and Little John rob Prince John by disguising themselves as fortune tellers, prompting the prince to put a bounty on their heads and makes the Sheriff his personal tax collector.” (notation from wikipedia)
This film bring charm and humor that any family member can enjoy from child to parent and to this day continues to have the same effect as it did when it was initially released making us all feel like children setting off on an adventure, singing along the entire time.
