7/12: I have to say there's an unintentional homosexual feel from The Adventures of Robin Hood which is why I prefer Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

The latter provides an edge to the action while the other has tons of poof. In fact, I like the Disney cartoon more. Nonetheless, it's a good film. Errol Flynn, although he laughs too much like the others, does well in the acting department. But I prefer Kevin Costner, Alan Rickman, and Michael Wincott to Errol Flynn, Claude Rains, and Basil Rathbone, respectively.

There's a great deal of animal killing which is more than I expected. Speaking of it, Robin Hood gets out of the trap rather easily through a deus ex machina. The baddies should've had him dead by foregoing the public ceremony.

All in all, I can see why there's a spoof version of The Adventures of Robin Hood through Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
