Robin Hood (A Walt Disney Masterpiece)
: :A minor classic from Disney, this 1973 all-animal, all-animated musical version of the familiar story is more charming than one might expect.

The film attempts to wed suggestions of Nixon's formative experiences as a boy to his political connections with shady movers and shakers and finally to his self-destructive tenure in the Oval Office.
