The Sword in the Stone

A more laid-back entry in the Disney Animated Canon, The Sword in the Stone has its moments such as the iconic Wizards' Duel and a few fun characters but its competent-but-not-spectacular animation, blatant recycled audio ("Whoa, What, Oh!"), jarring shifts, sometimes within the same scene, between the future King Arthur's voice actors thanks to puberty kicking in for one of them and more episodic structure don't exactly make it an absolute must-watch entry in WDAS' filmography,unless you're a completionist. It's not a terrible film and I do give Disney credit for trying something different with their take on King Arthur rather than the usual Knights of the Round Table story we're used to, but it is one of Disney's more boring films, especially when compared to other smaller-scale stories in the Canon like Lilo and Stitch, Encanto or even their next film after this one, The Jungle Book which was directed by the same man. Still a better film focusing on a young King Arthur that utilises anachronistic humour than Shrek the Third.

Good sense of humor, love it.

This one’s a bit of a hidden gem. *The Sword in the Stone* isn’t the most talked-about Disney classic, but it’s got some serious charm. The music? Absolutely delightful. But the real star here is Merlin—eccentric, hilarious, and carrying this film on his magical, time-traveling back. The movie thrives on its fun, chaotic energy, making it feel more like a whimsical series of lessons than a tight, structured story. And yeah, the plot is a little wobbly—Arthur pulling the sword almost feels like an afterthought—but it’s still an entertaining ride. Cozy, lighthearted, and packed with that vintage Disney charm, it’s a film that deserves more love. Now, where’s my *King Arthur* sequel? Because that’s the story I really want to see. **3.5/5 – Underappreciated but thoroughly enjoyable.**

A simple joy, as I like to call it. Engaging for kids, funny, and nostalgic animation and songs. It's nothing too special, I'd even go so far as to call it a bit boring, and the ending did feel rushed. But, it's enough to entertain. Pretty good movie!

É meu filme predileto da Disney!!

the plot progression is super slow then sudden end. It's a bit boring and the villain isn't developed enough.

My very favorite Disney movie as a kid. Watched it recently, and loved it the same as I did before. It's funny and witty, and yes the animation isn't quite as good as others, but it is sill my favorite.

A solid Disney offering, but one that's often underrated. The main characters are memorable and have some great foibles and phrases. One I've watched more in recent years, owing to it being one of my partner's favourites

I know people aren’t a fan of this movie but Disney outright said that it was one of their most iconic. With that said I actually really love this movie. It may not tell the story of King Arthur too well but at least they were at least trying to do something new with the fairy tale so who cares? It tells a really great message about how it’s important to have goals in life and it’s explained well. Merlin himself is a very iconic Disney character and is very memorable. The animation is pretty good too. And the Wizard duel is just…. Chefs kiss. Really great. Only 2 negatives though. 1. Like I said it didn’t necessarily explain the King Arthur story too well and 2. Yeah, the ending was actually kinda messed up. But overall, really great movie.

One of the best Disney movies of all times, I have watched this hundreds of times in my lifetime and my kids have carried on the tradition, love this one!
