Robin Hood is a 1973 American animated musical adventure comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution. Produced and directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it is based on the English folktale "Robin Hood". Taking place in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, the story follows the adventures of Robin Hood, Little John, and the inhabitants of Nottingham as they fight against the excessive taxation of Prince John, and Robin Hood wins the hand of Maid Marian.

The film features the voices of Brian Bedford, Phil Harris, Peter Ustinov, Pat Buttram, Monica Evans, Terry-Thomas, Roger Miller, and Carole Shelley. The idea to adapt Robin Hood into an animated feature was dated back to Walt Disney's interest in the tale of Reynard the Fox following the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). The idea was repeatedly shelved for several decades. In 1968, Ken Anderson pitched a film adaptation of Robin Hood, incorporating ideas from Reynard the Fox by using anthropomorphic animals rather than humans. The project was approved, becoming the first completely "post-Walt" animated feature and the first with an entirely non-human cast.

Robin Hood was released on November 8, 1973. The film's reputation has improved over time, although some retrospective reviews have criticized the heavy use of animation recycled from previous Disney films. It has since become a cult classic.

In 12th century Medieval England amongst anthropomorphic animals, minstrel Alan-a-Dale narrates the story about an heroic outlaw named Robin Hood. One day, the arrogant, greedy, and immature Prince John (who has usurped the throne from his brother King Richard after his aide-de-camp Sir Hiss hypnotized Richard into fighting in the Crusades) travels through Sherwood Forest on his way to Nottingham. Disguised as fortunetellers, Robin Hood and Little John rob the royal coach, embarrassing Prince John, who offers a very large reward for Robin's capture.

Despite this, Robin continues his heroic missions, much to the gratitude of the Nottingham townspeople who are being overtaxed by Prince John, including a seven-year-old rabbit named Skippy who idolizes Robin Hood. One day, local priest Friar Tuck meets Robin Hood and Little John at their forest hideaway, bringing news that Prince John will be hosting an archery tournament; the grand prize will be a kiss from King Richard's niece, Maid Marian, who was childhood sweethearts with Robin Hood and is still frequently on Robin's mind. Unaware that it is a trap set by Prince John, Robin, disguised as a Devonshire stork, competes in the contest, while Little John attends the contest disguised as the Duke of Chutney. Robin wins the competition; however, Prince John, who knows that only Robin Hood can shoot as well as the "stork" can, sees through Robin's disguise and sentences him to death.

Maid Marian pleads for Robin's life; while they proclaim their love for each other, Little John gets Robin released by threatening Prince John with a dagger in his back. Suddenly, the Sheriff of Nottingham intervenes, and Prince John again orders Robin's death. Robin, Little John, Maid Marian, and her lady-in-waiting Lady Kluck fight Prince John's soldiers. During the fight, Robin proposes to Maid Marian, which she accepts. Robin, Maid Marian, Lady Kluck, and Little John escape into Sherwood Forest, where Robin and Marian share a romantic evening. Arriving back at Robin's hideout, they are surprised to find the Nottingham villagers waiting for them. Little John sings a song that mocks Prince John's fraud and incompetence, which becomes extremely popular among the townspeople.

Visiting Friar Tuck's now-empty church, the Sheriff of Nottingham takes the last farthing from the poor box. When Friar Tuck finally snaps and begins assaulting the Sheriff in his rage, he is arrested for high treason. Prince John orders his execution, planning to trap Robin Hood when Robin comes to rescue the Friar. The night before the execution, Little John breaks into the jail and frees Friar Tuck, who then helps Little John free the other villagers. Sir Hiss wakes up, realizes what is happening, and wakes up the prince.

The Sheriff of Nottingham, who has fallen asleep while guarding the prison, also wakes up, and he, Prince John, and the castle guards try to stop the townspeople from escaping. Little John and the villagers escape, but Robin is trapped while rescuing Skippy's younger sister Tagalong. The Sheriff chases Robin with a lit torch, setting the castle on fire. Cornered, Robin evades Prince John's archers by jumping from a turret into the moat and swimming to safety. Sir Hiss, fed up with Prince John's constant abuse and failures, criticizes him for the plot, which resulted in his mother's castle being burned. Infuriated, Prince John chases Sir Hiss through the flames. Robin and Maid Marian are married and ride off together, with Little John and Skippy in tow.
