Which Disney Classic do you like better: Sword in the Stone or Robin Hood?

But what about when people turn into a bunch of different animals? Because Sword & the Stone got dat.
Do I dare ask for pics?
I prefer Sword in the Stone if only because I have a Pavlovian response to the opening of Robin Hood from my Disney instructor making us animate a dozen walk cycles for him.
These were two of my favorite movies growing up, but I'd go with Sword in the Stone I think. For a while, it was my favorite childhood movie and I watched it a ton. Loved Archimedes the owl.
There's certain tropes in these movies that have also stuck with me for a lifetime, like the idea of swimming in a lake and breathing through a reed to get oxygen. It's like this bizarre thing that sticks out in my head from when I was a kid, like the concept of quick sand.

This 100%. They aren't even close in my eyes. I watched Robin Hood like a month or two ago and was actually surprised at how bored I was.
Sword in the Stone for sure, but both movies are heavily associated with family members that grew to be awful, awful people so that kinda sucks.
the era of broken disney, there are a lot of other examples in other films.
An unexpectedly good poll. Well done, OP.
Personally I give Sword in the Stone the, uh, edge. But Robin Hood is also a classic. Both of them have some rough edges, but I honestly feel that's part of their charm.

I am pretty surprised by how much love there is for The Sword and the Stone here. There are things to like about it(the magic duel) but as a whole it is such an inert little film, episodic in the worse way, and it just farts out an ending that feels like the film just throwing its hands up in defeat.
I'm not a particular fan of Robin Hood but at least it feels a like a complete idea was put to film.

They're no Great Mouse Detective, but still two of the best Disney movies.
I voted Robin Hood. I enjoyed Prince John, Sir Hiss, the Sheriff, and Little John is just Baloo. When has Baloo ever not been the best?

Ah yes Hazel, certainly one of the...weirder things fans got attached to.
Sword in the Stone fans: We can save King Arthur by making him a furry!
...granted Robin Hood is the other furry gateway movie so...
I don't particularly like either one of them, but I'm going to go with Sword in the Stone. Both feel pretty boring, but in general I like the characterizations in Sword in the Stone more, aside from Merlin who's just bonkers for no reason. The characterization and writing in Robin Hood is just weak in general imo. Sword in the Stone's biggest mistake is that it's climax has nothing to do with the protagonist, and the fact that this somehow eluded the notice of the people working on it speaks to how nonchalant it's ending is. I can't even remember the ending of Robin Hood, and I saw them both at the same time. Nothing in that movie grabbed me in any way.
I pretty much know both by memory, but Sword in the Stone edges it out for me. There are just too many funny characters/moments. Madam Mim? LMAO
