On the topic of RH, I am not an animator, nor do I consider myself an animation buff, so I am generally forgiving when it comes to the topic of animation quality (especially when it involves anthropomorphic animals). But I just couldn't forgive the story of Robin Hood. I just didn't like the main character, and since the story is so blatantly one-sided I was cheering for the bad guy to win most of the time. Every time I see this movie anywhere I wish it was actually the story of Renard the Fox just so I could have something DIFFERENT than every other Robin Hood movie. I agree with Dr. Toon's story analysis whole-heartedly: it's good original characters that make a story great, an element that Robin Hood was clearly lacking.
