Is it true that Disney is ashamed of this movie? It's the

their ashamed of creating so many furries with it anyway.

This.

The only movie they don't acknowledge is Song of the South.

>they recycled a lot of assets when they made it.

And yet it still looks better than anything made during the "renaissance".

>>85219535
I really think part of the reason they built splash mountain was part of an overwrite strategy, now anyone looking into "song of the south" is going to find mostly cleansed flume ride related material.

>>85219125
I don't care what Disney™ thinks.

>I know they recycled a lot of assets when they made it.
That practice is as old as animation itself, though.

>Initially, the studio considered a movie about Reynard the Fox. However, due to Walt Disney's concern that Reynard was an unsuitable choice for a hero, the project languished.[2] Ken Anderson used the central element of an animated fox in Robin Hood, however.

>Robin Allan writes in his book Walt Disney and Europe that "Ken Anderson wept when he saw how his character concepts had been processed into stereotypes for the animation on Robin Hood."[3] According to Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston, one such casualty was the concept of making the Sheriff of Nottingham a goat as an artistic experiment to try different animals for villains, only to be overruled by the director who wanted to keep to the villainous stereotype of a wolf instead.[4]

Too edgy for Disney. Too much sex and violence.

>When the film was originally released, Judith Crist said it was "nicely tongue-in-cheek without insult to the intelligence of either child or adult." She also stated that it "has class – in the fine cast that gives both voice and personality to the characters, in the bright and brisk dialogue, in its overall concept."[6] Vincent Canby said that it "should ... be a good deal of fun for toddlers whose minds have not yet shriveled into orthodoxy" and he called the visual style "charmingly conventional".[7] The Montreal Gazette said that when "Disney cartoon films ... are good, they are very good" and that "there are not many films around these days which an entire family can attend and enjoy. Robin Hood is one of them."[8] New York Magazine called it "a sweet, funny, slam-bang, good-hearted Walt Disney feature cartoon with a fine cast" and said it was "a feast for the eyes for kiddies and Disney nostalgics."[9] The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "Love." It lost to "The Way We Were" from the film of the same name.[10]

>Reviews written decades after the initial release of the film have been more mixed. At the movie review site Rotten Tomatoes it has a 48% "Rotten" rating based on 27 reviews. The site's overall assessment is that it is: "One of the weaker Disney adaptations, Robin Hood is cute and colorful but lacks the majesty and excitement of the studio's earlier efforts."[11] The American Film Institute nominated Robin Hood for its Top 10 Animated Films list.

it wasn't that great, nostalgia.

They have the occasional representation in the parks. Robin Hood still has more representation than say, The Rescuers, or even The Black Cauldron

>>85219348
If they were, they wouldn't have made Zootopia though.

>>85222806
Zootopia was made by one of the furries Robin Hood inspired. He had clout due to Tangled.

>The Black Cauldron

no one wants to hear about that stinker that was supposed to save disney

>>85222108
People weren't aware back then

pretty much all the movies Pre Renaissance Disney ignores if they weren't Princess movies
you don't really see them mention Sword in the Stone or The Fox and the Hound either
it still has the most comfy opening ever though

You might as well just say "a furry", because that's basically all of them.

>>85219125
Its the best of all the Dark Age movies honestly

>>85222932
Roger Miller was fucking great.

>>85222932
Pinocchio and Peter Pan are generally remembered and represented well.

>>85222932
Pinnochio, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, 101 Dalmatians. I'm sure there's more I can't remember right now that are pretty prominent too.
