Why It’s Worth Watching
Robin Hood uses a funny animal adventure as a way to introduce fairness, taxation, inequality, generosity, and what happens when leaders abuse power. Robin Hood's resistance is simplified for children, but the story creates an easy starting point for conversations about why communities need rules, why authority should be accountable, and why helping people is different from simply breaking rules for personal gain.
