DESCRIPTION: Humor, spectacle and magic rule in Walt Disney s legendary classic tale The Sword In The Stone now celebrating its 45th Anniversary with exciting new bonus features!
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.
There s even more wizardry fun with marvelous new bonus features including the all-new Merlin s Magical Academy game, animated shorts, Disney s song selection and much more! The Sword In The Stone: 45th Anniversary Special Edition DVD is a magical experience your whole family will want to share again and again!

Amazon.com:
Based upon T.H. White's beloved novel, this Disney-fied version chronicles the tutoring of the Once and Future King, Arthur, as handled by the magician Merlin. Sword was a portent of things to come, with slapstick upbraiding storytelling, and cultural in-jokes substituting for wonder. But there's much to enjoy here as Merlin shows Newt, the young Arthur, things that will help him become the ruler of the Britons. The transformation sequences, where the boy is turned into a fish, a bird, and a squirrel are vintage Disney. The oft-repeated scene of Merlin battling it out with the mean old Madame Mim still is worth a few chuckles, but it belies the problem with most of the film--the scenes are only there for the chuckles. References by Merlin to television and other items of modern life also mar the generally innocuous landscape. Children will like it, but they won't cherish it. --Keith Simanton

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Favorite Childhood Movie
This movie has sentimental value for me.. as well as it's hilarious... i've loved it since i was a kid.. had it on vhs... lost it as a kid.. wanted to buy it again now that i'm adult.

i'm sure one day my kids will enjoy it as well.. when i have them.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not as great as I remembered...
I remember liking this movie quite a bit as a child, which was my sole motivation for purchasing it for my own two children. We sat and watched it together (or tried to). The youngest one wandered off about ten minutes into it and the older one was distressed over the pink squirrel left to cry her eyes out in the tree after one of Merlin and Wart's (Arthur) shape changing sessions. She kept asking me "Mommy why is the squirrel crying? Why don't they make her happy?" and so forth....and I could ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not a classic, but mildly entertaining
WARNING! Spoiler Alert - Am I the only one who feels sorry for that cute little female squirrel that becomes infatuated with the transformed young Arthur only to have her heart broken when he's turned human again? As silly as this may seem, this is the one reason why I do NOT like this film. Yes, there is a tough life lesson to be learned in this sequence and yes it is a testament to the effectiveness of Disney's storytelling and animation, but c'mon! Maybe the scene would've lost its poignancy if the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Have always loved this movie
I bought this movie for my boys so we could have movie time with a movie I approved of. I watched it with my brothers when I was young and I wanted my boys to have those same great memories.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Liked it since I was a kid
If you've always liked Disney Classics then this is a must have. The Sword in the Stone has and will always captivate the child in me.
