About this movie

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.

Ratings and reviews

I remembered watching this and enjoyed it. This movie involves w/ lesson learning from an old wise wizard, Merlin. This film, I think they're trying to get kids to understand about 'knowledge and wisdom' that you would need to understand in life. I cannot help watching some scenes where Arthur 's voice was changing. His voice was high, at first then later it sunk lower; it sounded like two voices at a time. This film was funny w/ watching Merlin having frustration w/ his beard. He also argue w/ his owl too

Grew up with this movie, but it doesn't deserve 3 or 4 stars, just 3.5. Google needs to change how they rate things. They would be more accurate. 😀

The film itself deserves 5 stars, but however, this version is the wildly reviled 2013 Blu-Ray restoration. Avoid at all costs and settle on getting the older VHS and/or DVD instead.
