Advantages: Great family movie with good songs! Disadvantages: A slightly slow start
This really is one of the Disney Classics. I love how magical this movie is.
It tells the story of a young boy who is treated like a servant becomes to believe in himself with the help of the wizard Merlin and his owl, Archimedes, and ultimately becomes the King of England.
The story goes that who ever is able to pull the sword from the stone, will become King of England. The sword was set fast in the stone and people came from far and wide to try and pull the sword from the stone.
The young squire, Arthur, manages to do this, despite everyone believing that the only person able to do this would have to be big and strong.
Has some great songs in it, very disney! and it has some really amusing moments. I especially like the bit where Merlin and Arthur turn in to squirrels and some lady squirrels fall in love with them and start ...
Advantages: fabulous story with lots of magic as only Disney can do Disadvantages: the end seems a bit rushed
in medieval times and the king dies without an heir and as no one has managed to pull out the sword, which lies in an old churchyard embedded into stone, the tournament will decide who will be king. For anyone who hasnt guessed yet this is based on the legend of King Arthur.
The Wart literally stumbles upon Merlin as he falls through his roof and is very surprised to learn that Merlin has been waiting for him. Of course he is shocked and dismayed when Merlin announces that he should give up his squiring duties and get an education and when Wart goes back to the castle, Merlin tags along which is when the magic and fun start as he and his rather rude talking owl Archimedes move in.
Thats when the fun starts as Merlin teaches him all the important lessons in life by looking at how other species cope - when Wart doesn't quite get ...
Advantages: Merlin, Archimedes, jolly good fun. Disadvantages: Patchy animation, bit of a greatest hits package.
myself in these adventures (and I was at one time a moderately keen Arthurian enthusiast), two of the main characters take on different shapes in my mind's eye. Noble King Arthur, last seen as a Roman general snogging Keira Knightley has something decidely sparrow-like about him and Merlin, whether talking guff about 'the Dragon's breath' or being trapped in crystal caves... well, there's always something a little BLUE about him.
Yes, my introduction to Athurian legend, and indeed cinema, was Disney's 'The Swordin the Stone'. It was showing on a double bill with a worthy B-movie about disabled children called 'The Pigeon That Worked A Miracle'. Don't think I've even checked to see if that's on the Ciao database. I mostly remember getting really annoyed at the number of adverts before the film, crying at the trailers because I kept thinking ...
An animated tale of the childhood of King Arthur in ancient England. Whoever has the power to release the sword from its resting place will be proclaimed King of the Realm...
