But I'm going to have to push back on this a little bit.  For starters, Rotten Tomatoes ranks their Robin Hood at only a 58%, which puts it at #60 out of 74 by one of their articles (above Wish and Home on the Range, but below Strange World and Dinosaur).  Historically, Robin Hood and The Aristocats ushered in the 'Bronze Age" of Disney.  Which is to say, the era where they went downhill enough for the next successful era to be called The Renaissance. My last rewatch of Disney's Robin Hood was a couple years ago, and I can confirm that it's rough. It is, however, very memeable.  Lots of good quips.  And a side effect of the lackluster animation is that it can be cut down into gifs or vertical viewing without missing much.  I suspect this has helped a bit of resurgence in it's popularity and enjoyment with rose colored glasses.All that being said, I consider the 1938 Errol Flynn movie to the be the most definitive film version of Robin Hood.  Men In Tights holds up extremely well for a comedy.  Captain Picard's and Wishbone's renditions are both memorably fun.  I didn't care for the Ridley Scott version much.  And I've never been able to decide if Kevin Costner's version was hilariously great or terrible, but I've also never watched it sober, so...   <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷‍♂️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png" title="Man shrugging    :man_shrugging:" data-shortname=":man_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />I'm game to try out a new grimdark version of the character.  But it feels like a "wait to see it on streaming" movie more than one worth going to the theatre for.</blockquote>
