Recorded sometime in 1963 (late Spring/Early Summer perhaps) after the voice work on the movie had been completed, but while the film itself was stiil in production. This way, the album could be released in time for the Christmas shopping season. Album Voice Cast: Karl Swenson: Merlin/Sir Kay Rickie Sorenson: Arthur Junius Matthews: Archimedies Martha Wentworth: Mad Madame Mim
Songs: Chorus - The Legend Of The Sword And The Stone (0:00) Merlin - Higitus Figitus (7:10) Merlin & Wart - That's What Makes The World Go Round (18:42) Merlin, Wart & Squirrels - A Most Befuddling Thing (24:08) Mim - Mad Madam Mim (30:05)
I like how, in this adaptation, Merlin is the one who flies with Wart when they turn into birds when in the film itself Archimedes took over the lesson from Merlin.
I'm surprised this movie didn't have a read-along book-and-audio adaptation produced; not a Storyteller album like this, but one of those "SEE the pictures, HEAR the story, READ the book" ones. Probably the only canon (single-story) Disney animated feature to not be adapted into such a read-along story.
Possibly Dal Mc Kennon, who narrated “The Jungle Book”record besides doing other records (e.g. “Uncle Remus”) plus voice work for Disney and other animation studios.
Interesting on these records how they play songs that were only hinted at in the films (like the 101 Dalmatians record playing the long version of the theme song and the Kanine Kruncies commercial). The Blue Tree on a Field of White song was written as a parody of knights pledging loyalty to something innocuous.
I love the songs as recorded for this LP. Any other time, I almost always prefer the soundtrack version, meaning the song as it appears in the film, but in this case I really do prefer these arrangements. In particular, "That's What Makes the World Go 'Round" is especially effective. I had the OST album in the 1970's, & it had the same arrangements, actually, but now all I can find online is the scene as extracted right from the movie. I never had this longer storybook album, so thanks for sharing!
@William Harding 0:04 Who sings in read-along version of Sword in the Stone, “A legend is sung Of when England was young And knights were brave and bold The good king had died And no one could decide Who was rightful heir to the throne It seemed that the land Would be torn by war Or saved by a miracle alone And that miracle appeared In London town The sword In the stone”?
Dallas Mc Kennon appeared on camera in some Disney live action tv shows and films, and in addition his voice could be heard in animated films such as “Lady and the Tramp” in which he did the man confronted by the policeman outside the zoo, and in the later dog pound scene he was the character of “Toughy”. He also did various voices in “One Hundred and One Dalmatians”. He narrated the storyteller record album based on “Song of the South” as Uncle Remus (instead of James Baskett) as well as voicing the other characters, and narrated “The Jungle Book” as Bagheera (instead of Sebastian Cabot). His voice could also be heard in films animated by other studios, as he was one of the people supplying the voice of Gumby for Art Clokey at one point (Norma Mac Millan and others also did it) and later also the voice of Archie Andrews and other characters in the tv series by Filmation.
This is my favorite lp! Iost the album when I was very young. I still have the record. Just thank You!

The Original Quantum Leaper! Blow me to Bermuda!
Whoa! I had no idea this existed. Thanks!!
What is the album voice of Sir Ector? In the movie he was voiced by Sebastian Cabot, who also narrated from beginning to end.

Mad Madame Mim: "Merlin: the world" s most powerful muttonhead!!" LOL!

Is that a running gag of some kind, sneaking a different character into artwork? I'm new here.
Big powerful mim scared of a mouse lol
That Madame mim is crazy
Is Ector played by Kay's voice actor in this? It's definitely not Sebastian Cabot, whoever it is.
11:24 Does Sir Ector sounds like Zeus from Hercules (1997)?
@William Harding 11:24 Does Sir Ector sounds like Zeus from Hercules (1997)?
I thought he was voiced by Daws Butler!🤔

@William Harding 1:02 Does the narrator from The Sword in the Stone (1963) sound like Paul Bunyan from Paul Bunyan (1958)?
@William Harding I thought it was Christopher Plummer!🤔
Who do voice of this video?
