Why It Takes From The Rich To Give To The Poor

 * 1) Robin Hood and Maid Marian share beautiful, romantic chemistry with each other.
 * 2) Wonderfully done animation that keeps the magical tone the older Disney film’s had, despite the budget cuts.
 * 3) Amazing voice-acting, especially from Brian Bedford (RIP) as Robin Hood.
 * 4) Stay’s true to the novel it was based on with some of it’s own creative adjustments to make the film more suitable for the target audience.
 * 5) Robin Hood himself is a very likable main character and easy to root for with his selflessness, heroic acts, fatherly wisdom and hilarious trickster personality.
 * 6) Well-done story development.
 * 7) The side characters and secondary characters are also entertaining, such as Little John, Lady Kluck and Maid Marian.
 * 8) Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham and Sir Hiss are all memorable bad guys, mainly Prince John with his arrogant, childish behavior, crying for mother and love for taxes.
 * 9) Memorable musical numbers, such as The Phony King of England, Love Goes On, Oo-De-Lally and Whistle-Stop.
 * 10) A very heartwarming and touching ending.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Throughout parts of the film, there's a heavy use of reused animation, while Disney has reused animation before in their films, it hasn't been used as much as in this film, notably examples being in the song-and-dance number, The Phony King of England.
 * 2) * If that wasn't enough, there are times were it also reuses the same animated shots several times, such as the scenes of the rhinos walking and running, the scenes of Sis, Tagalong, and Toby laughing, and also several animated clips of the Sheriff of Nottingham being reused at different parts of the film.
 * 3) * To be fair, the main reason why the film had such heavy use of reused animation more so than all the other Disney animated feature films of the 1960s and 1970s was because at the time the film was made, the Disney studio is financially struggling following the completion of Phase One of the Florida Project of Walt Disney World and therefore this resulted to severe budget cuts in the animation.
 * 4) *Use of Hanna-Barbara sound effects despite it being a Disney film.
