Humor, spectacle and magic rule in Walt Disney's legendary classic tale The Sword In The Stone! Embark on an adventure-filled quest for an unlikely hero! According to legend, only someone with honor, decency and inner strength can claim the throne of England - by pulling out the enchanted sword that lies locked in a massive stone. Many brave knights have tried, so it seems impossible that a young apprentice known as Wart could succeed. But with the guidance of the wizard Merlin, help from some hilarious friends and true strength of character, Wart just might become England's greatest king.

Critics Consensus: A decent take on the legend of King Arthur, The Sword in the Stone suffers from relatively indifferent animation, but its characters are still memorable and appealing.

Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

The songs are not of the usual caliber and are quickly forgotten; however, the score itself is melodious and dramatic.

The show is stolen by Merlin's arch enemy, an uproarious witch and quickchange artist named Mad Madam Mim.

The songs are so-so and the messages in the picture feel like an after school special instead of part of the story.

...a movie about Arthurian legend that had the misfortune of being released on December 25, just a month after America's version of Camelot died with President John F. Kennedy.

Aside from the owl Archimedes, none of the characters make any impression whatsoever.
