If you grew up in the early 90s glued to Saturday morning cartoons, there’s a good chance Young Robin Hood galloped across your screen — and maybe even sparked your first fascination with the legendary outlaw of Sherwood Forest. Produced by Cinar and Hanna-Barbera in 1991, this series reimagined Robin Hood as a daring teenager, balancing youthful mischief with a heroic heart.
What made this show stand out was its perfect blend of medieval adventure and cartoon charm. It had swashbuckling sword fights, clever escapes, and that warm camaraderie between Robin, Little John, and Marian — all brought to life with a classic hand-drawn style that feels wonderfully nostalgic today.
The tone was lighter than many Robin Hood adaptations, but it never shied away from deeper themes like justice, loyalty, and standing up to corruption — timeless lessons wrapped in action and wit. And that theme song? Absolute 90s earworm material.
Though Young Robin Hood didn’t get the long run it deserved, it remains one of those hidden treasures of animation — the kind that reminds us why we fell in love with cartoons in the first place: because they made heroism fun, colorful, and endlessly rewatchable.
