This probably stands out as the first time I really noticed Disney turn to cast an ensemble of more established "stars" as their voice talents - a wonderfully paired duo of Peter Ustinov and Terry-Thomas as Prince John and "Sir Hiss" as well as Phil Harris as "Little John" and "King of the Road" crooner Roger Miller narrating the whole tale as "Alan-a-Dale" really do animate this story splendidly. Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood - the gent of 12th century English folklore. When the King heads off to fight the Saracens in the crusades, his evil brother remains to extort all he can from the poor population whilst Robin Hood leads the rebellion against this tyrannical regime. The personifications of animals in this film is a masterstroke - and the choice of animals: a snake, fox, bear, lion, badger and even a tortoise all add hugely to the symbolism and fun of this thoroughly enjoyable rendering of the ultimate good v evil tale. I always seem to have a problem with the intrusive scores in Disney's animations - it never seems to let up long enough to let the voices take centre stage, and as such is quite distracting much of the times. That said, I am nit-picking - aside from a rather protracted musical interlude - the action animations are first class and this is a cracking film.
