Editorial Review:
Based upon T.H. White's beloved novel, this Disney-fied version chronicles the tutoring of the Once and Future King, Arthur, as handled by the magician Merlin. Sword was a portent of things to come, with slapstick upbraiding storytelling, and cultural in-jokes substituting for wonder. But there's much to enjoy here as Merlin shows Newt, the young Arthur, things that will help him become the ruler of the Britons. The transformation sequences, where the boy is turned into a fish, a bird, and a squirrel are vintage Disney. The oft-repeated scene of Merlin battling it out with the mean old Madame Mim still is worth a few chuckles, but it belies the problem with most of the film--the scenes are only there for the chuckles. References by Merlin to television and other items of modern life also mar the generally innocuous landscape. Children will like it, but they won't cherish it. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - Loved by all
I bought this movie for my daughter (4.75) because I loved it as a child. She has watched it and watched it and she loves it to. fun for all ages.
Hope you have the same experience
Rating:  - Great Memories, Great Movie
Me and my pals went to see this movie when we were kids and would choose characters to play (we saw it in the Summer, so we re-enacted scenes all the time). The film is still fun today. One question...where is the short film that was attached in the theatrical run, "Wart and The Wizard"?
Rating: - No Brainer.
Anything from Disney is timeless. I'm 53 and still love to sit and watch these classics that I grew up on. Whether your a kid or a kid at heart, you can't go wrong with "Sword In The Stone". What a great movie.
Rating: - A Great Classic
this is one of my favorite movies of all time. it's a great movie to watch with your kids and family. It's a creative piece and i certainly recommend it.
Rating: - Yet another great extended edition
I can't add anything about the movie itself. I gave it 4 stars because the movie was good, but not in the top of the Disney class.
The only reason to buy these special editions is for the extra features. Behind the scenes stuff, how the movie came about, interviews with actors who did the voices, ect. If you care about those things, this is a great set. If you don't, there is no reason to upgrade.
