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. (officiële tekst van distribiteur)

The Sword in the Stone is a somewhat forgotten Disney film, which is a real shame, as it is a rather humorous take on the legend of Arthur and Merlin, which surprised me very pleasantly. The character of Merlin was hilariously distracted, while Arthur was more of a naive coward, though both had their hearts in the right place, as did the spiky-eyed Archimedes. I was very amused by the episodes with the squirrels and the desperately hungry wolf, who had similar bad luck to the Coyote with the Roadrunner. I must also not fail to mention the magical battle between Merlin and Madam Mim, which was really imaginative. The musical score was also good.

I had the picture book when I was little, but I never watched the Disney original until today. Well, it is considerably better, full of action, and uncut. Merlin is more of a mad time traveller than the legendary wizard, and his talking owl has more sense than him. I enjoyed going back to my childhood, and I think I'll start digging up other treasures tucked away in compartments of childhood memories for my little one.
