Rating: Summary: Great Extra Features, Strange DVD Review: The picture quality of this Disney animated film is astounding. Even though the sound has been remastered into 5.1, only the centre speaker seems to be used, but I suppose this won't matter to people who don't have a surround sound set up. The extra features on these disney dvds seems to keep getting better all the time. There's an insightful featurette about the music of the film and lots of other little morsels to keep you amused. The only problem that I have with this dvd is that it seems to be a bit too sophisticated for my dvd player. Disney have put English, French and Spanish language tracks on this dvd. It seems they have used some sort of seemless branching for the credits of the film. Basically, if you set the spoken language to French, you get French credits, Spanish language - Spanish credits etc and my dvd player gets confused with the 3 languages and stalls. Apart from that, this is a good dvd!
Rating: Summary: A Fun Movie! Review: Sword in the Stone DVD from Disney has it all. A great movie, full of humor and creativity, plus great special features which will blow your mind. This is a great classic that should be enjoyed more than once, so buy the DVD!
Rating: Summary: Its not supposed to be widescreen Review: Disney animated it full frame, and then matted the top and bottom of the film for theaters.Ask Disney about the Pan Scan labeling. This is not a favorite of mine, but it could be worse.
Rating: Summary: Great!!!! Review: We just started a unit on King Arthur in English class, and my teacher showed us this film. This classic is based on the book by T.H White. It is the story of the wizard Merlin and the young boy Arthur. Living in a castle Arthur is mistreated and called "Wart." When he stumbles upon Merlin's home in the woods, Merlin wants to give the boy an education. "The Sword in the Stone" is a great Disney film that you don't want to miss. See it.Happy Viewing!
Rating: Summary: Never Assume that it's Widescreen Review: I have always loved this movie since childhood and couldn't wait to get my hands on the DVD edition, assuming it would be released in letterbox. NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING. I don't know what Disney was thinking. Is there going to be another DVD release of this film in letterbox (widescreen) format? I mean what is the point in releasing a film on DVD, the highest quality video available only to release it in a Pan and Scan only version????? At the very least make it a dual-sided disc with both versions like many other companies are doing. I am very disappointed with Disney right now.
Rating: Summary: Pan and Scan Review: It's been reformatted folks - you don't get the full picture. There's nothing in the published specs to tell you that (as the early Disney animateds were originally 1.33:1), but you're missing 25% of the picture here. Wish I'd noticed the itty bitty print on the back before I broke the seal.

Who doesn't love watching the Wizard's Duel over and over?!!!! That was sooooo cool! This digitally restored copy is gorgeous, with GREAT extras! I LOVE extras, particularly when Disney DVD's include classic shorts like this one does! It even includes a whole episode of the Disneyland TV show! Priceless!!! This is a great DVD! Get it! Get Bedknobs and Broomsticks too! I forgot to mention in my review of that one that it has more classic Disney shorts! Keep those extras comin' Disney!

Rating: Summary: One of my Favorite Disney Classics... Review: When this movie was first released I went to see it with my brother and we both loved it! It has wonderful humor, Merlin is terrific and wonderfully voiced as is Archimedes,the Owl. The animation is superb and the peripheral characters are great; my favorite being Sir Pelinore who had a problem with his enormous moustache...when Merlin travels with Wart to his castle the packing is something to see! There are many animal metamorpheses that Merlin and Wart undergo; check out the fish transformation, great stuff! I especially enjoyed the fat female squirrel who became overly enamored with Merlin. Buy it, add it to your Disney collection and enjoy!
