Reviews for The Sword in the Stone
For all of its inventiveness, the film's characters are never quite as endearing as they should be, and the central relationship between Arthur and Merlin is oddly detached.

Minor Disney fare, but still enjoyable. The climactic wizard's duel is a real high point.
