Robin Hood (1973) Opens in US Theaters
- Robin Hood reached US theaters on 8 November 1973.[2][3][4]
- 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.[2]
- 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.[2]
- Robin Hood was directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, with music by George Bruns; it features Peter Ustinov, Phil Harris, Brian Bedford and Terry-Thomas, and runs 83 minutes. Wikipedia's infobox lists a budget of US$5 million and a gross of US$33 million.[2]
- The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it was nonetheless a box-office success, grossing US$33 million worldwide against a production budget of US$5 million. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that the film received a 58% approval rating with an average rating of 5.7/10 based on 31 reviews.[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
