50 free Robin Hood (Disney) trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Disney's Robin Hood arrived in 1973 with a simple twist on the old English legend: every character is an animal. The outlaw is a sly fox, the villains are cowardly and comic, and the whole story moves to a country-folk soundtrack that people still hum decades later. It has become a cult favourite well beyond the generation that grew up with it. This quiz covers the film from every side. There are questions on who is which animal, the tricks and disguises Robin uses against Prince John, the archery tournament, the escape from the burning castle, the actors behind the voices, the songs, and how the film was made on a tight schedule. Later questions follow its afterlife in other films, on television and online. The early questions suit children and anyone who has watched the film once or twice. The harder ones are for Disney enthusiasts who know their animation history and their classic voice casts. Every answer comes with a short explanation, so you finish knowing a little more about Sherwood Forest than when you started.
