[Mario500]

Slip into a pair of Bermuda shorts, pack your magical traveling bag, and get ready for an Arthurian adventure because we're looking back on Disney's The Sword in the Stone. For this final episode of Animation Movies Revisited, we'll embark on a grand Arthurian adventure filled with valuable life lessons, prestidigitation, and one of the greatest wizard duels in cinema. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, The Sword in the Stone presents Mouseketeers with a film that nearly broke the studio, being the product of artist feuds and significant changes to the original story by T.H. White. Join us as we explore Camelot alongside some of Disney's most extraordinary characters and relive the magic of the animated classic that teaches generations about the importance of a good education, how to embrace the unknown, and Darwinism!

..."join us as we explore Camelot", huh. Anyone who remembers Camelot from 'Sword in the Stone' must have been drunk or dreaming when they saw it.

I like 'Sword in the Stone'. Fun flick----------just about as good as 'Jungle Book' or 'Robin Hood'. It's what made me start reading historical fantasy like 'Once and Future King' and 'The Black Arrow' and 'Táin Bó Cúailnge' and all. 'Ballad of the White Horse', man. Gods below-------'Ballad' would make a skeleton weep.

Fun flick. I rewatched it recently, though, & I was shocked at how *fast* things progress.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

It was one of my favorite, actually. Not as good as Lion King or Aladdin, but a good one. It's been a while, but I don't remember Darwinism having anything to do with it.

^Survival of the fittest. Arthur gets an up-close look at the process as Merlin turns him into various animals.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

You know, that pike that tries to eat Wart and Merlin while they're fish is way scarier than it has any right to be.

For some reason I remembered the pike being an electric eel, but I just rewatched it and there was no eel at all. Memories are weird.
