With King Richard off to the Crusades, Prince John and his slithering minion, Sir Hiss, set about taxing Nottingham's citizens with support from the corrupt sheriff - and staunch opposition by the wily Robin Hood and his band of merry men.
Acting
Peter Ustinov's hissy, pathetic Prince John is villainy perfection.
Score
Roger Miller's 'Oo-De-Lally' lives rent-free in your skull forever.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Disney recycled animation from Snow White, The Jungle Book, and The Aristocats to save money — Little John's dance moves are literally Baloo's.
This was Disney's biggest financial success of the 1970s, proving audiences wanted scrappy antiheroes over princesses — until they didn't.
