Robin Hood and Little John, here a fox and a bear, rob from the rich and give to the poor in the oppressed town of Nottingham. They are ruled by Prince John, a tiger, who pinches every penny from them via taxes. When he is targeted by the two outlaws himself, he cooks up a plan to catch and imprison them at an archery tournament. They initially elude him by disguises, but they are exposed and Robin Hood is caught. His friends and sweetheart Maid Marian must find a way to save him. Enjoyable fluff from Disney, if a bit overplotted, with catchy songs.
