Most film historians do not count Robin Hood among Disney's best classic films. Even many furry fans who like the movie (for obvious reasons) admit that objectively, furry bias notwithstanding, it's not one of Disney's better films.
Disney had four major blockbusters in six years - (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King). BatB and TLK would surely rank among Disney's best classics by almost any standard. But the bubble burst with Pocahontas, and it's been hit-or-miss ever since (the 'hits' would include Mulan and Lilo and Stitch, while the 'misses' would include Hercules and Treasure Planet).
BTW, I haven't seen Bolt yet so would have to defer commenting on it. It's on my 'want to watch' list.
I didn't mean to imply that I thought you meant for the list three Disney classics you named was all inclusive. There are some other older ones that are almost certainly classics, such as Snow White and Bambi.
I believe that after Disney "acquired" Pixar (the merger made Steve Jobs the largest shareholder of Disney) they installed Pixar as head over all animation studios. I'm sure this has had a good influence on Disney's animated ventures.
