Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My favorite cartoon of all time!
Review: I don't know, it might not be the greatest animated film ever made, but for me it's the most entertaining. I've seen it countless times and it's something I've had me since before I can remember. It's absolutely hilarious and there are maybe 5 minute breaks in the movie where I'm not laughing uproariously. Not to mention Archimes IS god, even at 13 I find him to be one of my favorite animated characters at all times. He's adorabley bitter. I like that in an anthropomorphized owl.

Anyone who hasn't seen it is personally required, by me, to at least rent it.

Summary: One of my Top Disney Cartoon movies.
Review: The 1962 Animated Classic is about a Young boy who would be
King Arthur and it tells about his boyhood such as everything from Merlin the Magician teaching him the ways of life and
the day he pulled out the sword that made him King.

If your a Disney fan, buy this DVD.

Summary: The Sword in the Stone Gold Collection DVD
Review: The Sword in the Stone is one of Walt Disney's most simple films, retelling the story of King Arthur. The film lacks action and replaces it with tons of diolouge, since most of the film has Merlin teaching Arthur so many lessons. For some reason, the film works a lot better than one would think especially with the inclusion of the great wizard battle, which has Disney animators at their comedic best.

The Gold Collection DVD includes great extras including two great cartoons, with Mickey Mouse and Goofy. But the best feature is the black and white 1957 TV show "All About Magic", hosted by Walt Disney & The Magic Mirror. Included in this TV special is the entire "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" sequence from "Cinderella".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: captivating and entertaining
Review: Before animation started getting really slick, Disney movies such as this were made with good drawing and interesting characters. The story is of course the story of King Arthur, but the focus is on his childhood and training under Merlin.
There are two great scenes in this movie, one is the young king being turned into a fish and spending some time in the moat were he almost gets eaten by a bigger fish and the second is one of my favorite in animation; Merlin fighting the witch in a battle of changing creatures.
They change into dragons and goats, turtles and rhinos and it is a kick to watch imagination of the animators unfold. I remember thinking as a kid how clever it was when Merlin finally won by becoming a germ and infecting the Dragon witch.
As far as Disney classics goes, this is up in the top and is a strong recommendation.

Summary: An oldie, but goodie
Review: A sort-of major re-write of the "traditional" story of the sword
in the stone, but still very enjoyable. I first saw it as a kid,
and loved it! So this purchase was for my son - he is still a bit
too young for it just yet, but will enjoy it soon as much as I
did (I hope!)

My favorite scene in this is still the "magic battle" between
Merlin and Mad Madam Mim! Totally off-the-wall and unrelated to
the traditional story line, but funny (as you can tell, I like
Mim!). May be a bit too intense for a young viewer - so go easy
till they are old enough to like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Odd...Not the Best...But Still Love It!
Review: Why do I really like this movie?
1) The songs...who can resist Merlin's song??
2) The scenes when "Wart" is a fish and squirrel...They're very interesting and have some wonderful action.
3) Archimedes...the grumpy little owl.
4) The battle scene between Merlin and Mim...There are some wonderful ironies in it
5) When Mim turns into the beautiful lady...why can't she stay that way??

But, in general, I grew up watching this movie with my mom. It's an old favorite...it's got some sparkle, while still having flaws.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Mediocre
Review: This was not one of Disney's best films.The songs are mediocre,the visuals are bland and the plot lags.This film pales in comparision to Disney greats like "Jungle Book" and "Cinderella."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: NOT DISNEY STANDARD!!
Review: I AM A DISNEY FANATIC AND LOVE TO WATCH AND COLLECT THIS MOVIES.BUT I MUST ADMIT I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH SWORD IN THE STONE!!I FOUND THE STORY BORING AND THE ANIMATION IS POOR IN COMPARISON TO THE PRINCE OF EGYPT OR THE QUEST OF CAMELOT!! I FEEL ASLEEP THROUGH THE MOVIE!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: boy stuff
Review: this movie is for boys and is based on the story when everybody tries to pull a sword from the stone in order to be the new king. Nobody can, and one day, this boy (arthur) is looking for the soilders sword and cant find it cuz the castle is locked. So he sees the sword in the stone and simpley pulls it out and becomes king. No one can believe it, so he does it again til they are satisfied.
