Summary: Cute, Yet a bit dated
Review: Okay, this is a good movie for midevil lype people. Not the greatest story line but one worth giving a bit of credit for. However, if you are into the graphics more than the story, this isn't really the movie for you. The animation looks a bit sketchy, I don't know if they touched it up a little more in the "Masterpiece Collection" edition but in the black diamond editon (the one I have, the black diamond editions came out in the 80s and early 90s) and it just doesn't look like it is as tounched up as it could be. I've seen this in other Disney movies ranging in production from the early 60s and the late 70s like this. "The Rescuers" is another example (made in 1977). This is a bit odd because earlyier Disney movies don't look scetchy at all such as Bambi (1941) and Dumbo (1942). Merlin and Arcamides characters are well developed in this movie but all the others aren't devoloped enough. I enjoyed it a little while I was younger and still do, a bit now. But it is certinly not on my favorites list.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest legend of all time becomes a Disney classic.
Review: "This tale begun when England was young, and knights were brave and bold." began the greatest attempt Disney ever made at turning classic literature into a motion picture. Excellent songs and characters fill this Disney great. I can't believe it doesn't get the credit is deserves. I believe now a days Disney has lost its touch of its once glorious animated films. Sword in the Stone will always, in my mind, be a classic of movie-making.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST... ever.
Review: I'm a 16-year-old well-adjusted male. The Sword in the Stone is not just a good animated Disney, but the absolute best animated Disney (and with two younger siblings and one older, I've seen them all except for Sleeping Beauty). It was funny at five when I watched it twice a week , and it's funny at sixteen when I watch it twice a week . Just kidding. It's still a good movie for all ages, though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sword In The Stone
Review: When I'm asked by others what my favorite Disney movie is I always mention The Sword In The Stone. What great characters! What fun! I'm 31 and I STILL love it! Will certainly get the DVD. Great voicework (including the "They're Gr-r-reat!" Tony Tiger actor). Sometimes I think professional movie reviewers need to step back from the hired microscope of their profession and "smell the roses" as it were as many great titles are often unjustifiably slammed. This Disney classic is funny, cute and entertaining...GET IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hero's journey for children: Best of Disney Award
Review: Surprised from the reading of somewhat negative reviews of thismovie, I add my two cents of support. I believe that this movie isone of the best, if not the best of all Disney movies. The tale of the quest and education of the young Arthur deals with many of the angles and metamorphoses of the spiritual journey, most than any other cartoon movie we have seen. My family "cherishes" this movie as one of the best movies, and not just considering animated ones. Unfortunately, critics and viewers are enjoying movies just for the kicks and tricks -- literally, fight scenes and the like -- and forget how little we give to kids regarding the larger spiritual fights that create real heroes. Hope someone watches it based on our experience.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Sword in the Stone is the best!
Review: Why does this movie keep getting bad reviews? I think everyone should be able to enjoy it. They shouldn't even let adults review them anyway because most don't like cartoons.

Do you think Disney could make a movie based on the actual book? Come on! It's a kid's movie! Do you know what's really in the story? Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the novel qualifies as Disney material. Maybe Disney screwed up the whole thing. It's still my favorite movie no matter what!

Whoever reviewed this movie, I have something to say. :p

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: editor review ....haaahaaaahaaa.......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everybody loves a Wart
Review: "The sword and the stone" is a Disney classic and how can you go wrong with that. This happens to be my favorite Disney movie and possibly my favorite movie of all time. This movie is an excellent movie because it not only shows the triumph of Arthur(Wart) in his rightful quest to the crown, but is funny and magical. I love Merlin and Archimedes. They have to be one of Walt's most creative characters. Also Arthur is portreyed very well as a nieve boy in the midst of the midevil era. Also another great thing about "The sword in the stone" it's not Disney's most publisized videos which in my opinion makes it more apealing. For all this I have to thank my girlfriend. She got me the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Always and forever my favorite
Review: The Sword in the Stone has always, and will always, be my favorite Disney creation. It's absolutely magical. It holds the most wonderful, humorous characters I've ever encountered.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Charming, Clever Entertainment
Review: Perhaps this film is not as slick as some later Disney projects, but it's straightforward, fun to watch and has great music and songs.

My 3 1/2 year old son really likes Merlin and young Arthur. The film captivates him, makes him laugh and he asks lots of questions about the what and why of the plot (is there much more a film should do at this age?). This one still beats any Saturday morning cartoon.
