Previous to this ‘Most Wanted Edition’ release, Disney had released a Gold Collection version. Having seen the two head to head, the Most Wanted is definitely a worthwhile buy, though purists may wish to hang onto their Gold Collection Edition.

For those alive to in the movie’s status (though if you don’t know it by now), this 1973 Disney film follows the adventures of the classic Robin Hood epic (though all the characters have been replaced by Disney animal versions), where he and his pal Itsy-bitsy John are constantly thwarting the plans of Prince John, his servant Sir Jabber, and the contemptible Sheriff of Nottingham. It doesn’t follow the recent epic too closely, but then, Robin Hood is a walking, talking fox, so don’t question historical accuracy. Made during Disney’s less ‘talked about’ era (the void between Disney’s untimely death and the song stylings of Elton John), the film is aloof a delight for adults and children. At least, I like it, but critics and animation buffs seem to have some issues with it (not the least of which is a segment where several sequences reuse animation from other Disney films) . It’s not as dwelling intensive and tightly told as Disney’s later films, but it has quite a few memorable sequences and some gargantuan one-liners (”Oo-de-lally! A CROWN!”) .
But onto the DVD and its features.

VIDEO: The film is presented in a 1.75:1 aspect ratio, making it widescreen. However, (and this is where the purists may retract offense), the film was initially created in 1.37:1 aspect, thus making the fullscreen version available on the previous Gold Collection release the ‘correct’ video standard (a viewing of the widescreen next to the fullscreen does, in fact, point to cropping at the top and bottom) . However, this does not mean that the widescreen is automatically a jam. Not only is the transfer noticeably clearer and more detailed, but the film was enthralling to lift both fullscreen and widescreen into respect (theatres at the time were splendid of displaying one or the other), so technically both aspect ratios can be termed ‘the modern theatrical.’ Because of this, no famous allotment of the relate at the top and bottom is lost (though like I said, purists should hang onto their Gold Collections for this reason only) . Perhaps a choice of viewing options should have been made available because of this direct, but unfortunately only the widescreen is included on this DVD.
AUDIO: Sound is noticeably better, especially the music (at least, on the sound system I compared them) . The 5.1 transfer, while not causing the sound to do miraculous things, does sound more dynamic and sharper. A distinct improvement here.
SPECIAl FEATURES: This release includes all the features from the Gold Collection release, with the valuable exception of the Read-Along Storybook (a DVD version of the printed storybook released alongside the fresh movie) and switching out a trivia game for…another trivia game. Moving. However, everything else is there, along with some additional features (including a storyboarded alternate ending) not previously available.
So, what’s my assume? I say, especially if you don’t fill the film, this is the best version of the two to come by. The picture’s better, sound’s better, and the special features overall are better (and since the previous release, Disney invented its ‘Fastplay’ feature, which is nice to have compared to the Gold Collection’s ‘fast forward through the trailers’-only option) . But, this is mainly a caution to those looking for the ‘Ultimate, Never Have to Choose It Again’ edition: the fullscreen, uncropped version is not here. Perhaps in a future two-disc release, though it is doubtful Disney cares enough about this film and its era to do that.
There have been dozens of movies and television shows that capitalize on the tale of Robin Hood. This version is clever and silly, and the music of country music yarn Roger Miller makes this movie one for everyone to discover.
Everyone knows the myth of Robin Hood. Forced to be an outlaw, though always real to King Richard, Robin Hood fought against the usurper Prince John. Robin Hood sheltered and protected awful people and redistributed wealth from the rich to the needy bad. Robin Hood performed these deeds from his obnoxious in Sherwood Forest.
Though we have seen this movie with many different mammoth actors, this version has gracious comedy and very favorable animation. Robin Hood is appropriately swashbuckling and delicate, and Maid Marian is beautiful; both characters are drawn as foxes. In fact, all the characters in this movie are animals, as Alan-A-Dale points out at the beginning of the movie.
This film has its piece of immense actors. Englishman Brian Bedford provides a perfect impart for Robin. Monica Evans, who also appeared in “The Queer Couple,” voices Maid Marian. The role of Maid Marian was the last for Monica Evans. The incomparable Peter Ustinov (”Quo Vadis,” “Blackbeard’s Ghost”) voices both Prince John and King Richard. Terry Thomas (”Tom Thumb,” “The Terrible Dr. Phibes”) is the screech of Sir Mumble. Roger Miller is the minstrel Alan-A-Dale. Miller also provided the songs for this movie. Andy Devine (who had more than 180 movie and television appearances dating befriend to the 1920’s) voices Friar Tuck. Pat Buttram (”The Rescuers,” “Wait On to the Future III”) voices the Sheriff of Nottingham and George Lindsey (”The Rescuers,” “The Andy Griffith Present”) voices Trigger.
Disney has released several versions of this movie. The previous “gold” version is adequate and if you have that version and are gay with it, I recommend you pass on this version. If you are a first-time buyer of this film then I recommend this version because of the restored describe and the cleaner sound. Also, this film does have an alternate ending that some viewers may accumulate sharp. The other added features are marginal in value. I salvage myself avoiding the extras more and more, especially on Disney DVD’s.
This movie is fun to see again and again, and is a accepted of children of all ages. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a ample tale to discover, and to anyone with young children.
