5-Minute Disney Classic Stories
5-Minute Disney Classic Stories by Walt Disney Company
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The title is a little misleading on this one as you would think they are the classic stories told in shorter formats, however, these are the usual spin off stories from the "classic" series instead.
The Lion King: A Prince's Day
Also found in 5-Minute Disney Furry Friends Stories.
Bambi: The Winter Trail
Thumper wakes Bambi to find their friends and go on an adventures - following tracks in the snow. Fortunately, they leave their own tracks behind for their mothers to find them and guide them back home.
Lady & the Tramp: Barking up the Right Tree
Also found in 5-Minute Disney Furry Friends Stories.
The Jungle Book: It Takes Two
This takes place sometime shortly after the first movie from the sound of it, with Bagheera and Baloo arguing over brain vs brawn. Fortunately for Mowgli, he can use both.
Pinocchio: A Real Boy
This is the tale of Pinocchio's first day as a real boy and spending time with his father, Geppetto. Being a real boy is harder than he thought it would be, but that doesn't mean it isn't still a dream come true.
The Aristocats: The Birthday Wish
Marie wants to stay up and go to Scat Cat's birthday party with the other adult cats, though her brothers are perfectly happy going to bed as they're told. Luckily for Marie, Scat Cat is a crafty friend.
Robin Hood: Castle Rescue
Skippy seems to have a habit of shooting his arrow into places it does not belong, and then going in after them. This time, he ends up the castle. Fortunately, Robin Hood, Little John, and Maid Marian are on the case to help the little bunny before Prince John finds him.
Peter Pan: Captain Hook's Show
Peter's prank goes awry when Captain Hook's shadow escapes and causes mischief both in Never Land and in London. Fortunately, Michael is happy to help his friend and overcome his own fear in the process.
Lilo & Stitch: The Dog Show
Lilo & Stitch enter the local dog show, except stitch isn't actually a dog, and as usual, he does things with his usual unique flair of chaos.
101 Dalmatians: Detective Lucky
Lucky can't sleep and wants to be a detective, but following his clues gets him lost outside. Fortunately, the pup runs into some friends and though it's past the hour for the Twilight Bark, apparently there's a Midnight Bark that can be just as useful.
Dumbo: Dumbo's Story Day
The circus animals end up in a spot of trouble out in the snow. Fortunately, with Dumbo's ability to fly, they're able to get some help, even if it ends up not going as plan. At least everyone is still safe and sound.
Alice in Wonderland: A Snack for the Queen
The Queen is a rather dangerous person to be running errands for with her inclination to yell "off with their head!" As always, none of the snacks are exactly what they appear to be in Wonderland.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
The classic story of Robin Hood told with a modern humor twist. Many a spoof has been made with the Men in Tights song and costumes. Out of all the Robin Hood films I've seen, sadly would have to rate it as the worst - while I get what they were trying to do with the humor, it just doesn't do it for me. I far prefer the newer live version or the classic Disney rendition to this failed comedy.

Robin Hood
Robin Hood (1973)
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Much more low key in the realm of Disney action, this is an older classic film based on yet another popular children's story that has hundreds of variations. I find it amusing that the character design and voice of Little John are remarkably like Baloo from The Jungle Book. The snakes are also remarkably similar in the two films as well. It is very easy to distinguish good guy from bad in this film as their attitudes and designs reflect their personalities and positions perfectly.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I must admit, I really enjoyed this version of Robin Hood. It doesn't go overkill on the romance like the Disney version, or lean too heavily on the violence like the newest version of the film. There's just enough down to earth with a little fun mixed in that the story is thoroughly enjoyable. Robin's half-brother being the man who returns that hated him was also an interesting twist to the tale. Good take on an old favorite.

Robin Hood
Robin Hood (2010)
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A fun new take on the age old story of Robin Hood. Beginning with the war that supposedly kills their king, Robin Hood and his men must make their way back home before beginning to help fight against the corrupt sheriff and try to win the spirited Maid Marion's hand.
