Why We Rated This on for Ages 5 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Although Robin and Little John are technically outlaws, they are clearly well meaning; they engage in theft, duplicity and pranks, but all in good humor. Prince John is the pinnacle of poor character: vain, greedy, gullible, and temperamental with a habit for thumb sucking.

  • Violence & scariness:

    Mostly slapstick fare with medieval weaponry; Prince John has a sadistic tendency to strike his courtier Hiss.

  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Robin Hood

Parents need to know that this video is mostly tame but contains examples of bad behavior, such as greediness, gullibility and, in Robin's case, stealing. But it's also a heartwarming tale about having compassion for those who are less fortunate.

    underappreciated Disney film

    Entertaining Disney film that doesn't get the attention it deserves. My daughter loved it when she was about 4.
