Medicore: "The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men" is not particularly memorable in long-view but I did enjoy it's moments of acting and it's whimsical 1950's Disney charm. It's one of the few Walt-era Disney films I hadn't yet seen till adulthood and I wish I had seen it sooner. The nostalgia really helps me fall in love with a straight production like this but it's a very welcome addition to my library.
From D23:
"Released on June 26, 1952. Directed by Ken Annakin. 84 min. Stars Richard Todd as Robin, Joan Rice as Maid Marian, Peter Finch as the Sheriff, Hubert Gregg as Prince John, and Patrick Barr as King Richard. The second Disney fully live-action feature, produced at Denham Studios in England with blocked funds that Walt Disney had been unable to get out of the country. Early plans had called for the film to be cast with actors from Treasure Island, including Bobby Driscoll as a member of Robin’s band and Robert Newton as Friar Tuck. Released on video in 1987 and 1992."
