If I'm remembering correctly when this movie first movie came out, Safeway Stores participated in a promotion for it by passing out a token card with every sale and when you opened it a paper sword was pulled out of a paper stone, but I can't remember exactly how or what you would win.

Trivia note: There were multiple voice actors for Arthur in this film, because he was voiced by actual child actors but their voices kept changing due to puberty, hence why there are multiple scenes where his voice sounds very different from the previous scene.
@@a.g.demada5263 I'm guessing that the dubbing was made when the movie was done, while the English voices were recorded during the process of making the film.
A great subtle message in this movie is in the kitchen scene. Merlin uses his magic to make the menial labour done by no-one, leaving more free time for study for Arthur. This conjures images of Automisation, which in it's original inception and intention, was to make all people's lives easier and give them more free time for education and preferred hobbies and pass-times. However, Sir Hector (the rich and powerful) use menial labour as a limiting factor for the less fortunate and less educated, to make their (the rich and powerful's) lifes easier. So when Merlin introduces Magic (automisation) to raise Arthur out of poverty and give him an education, he resorts to anger (violence) to threaten Arthur and Merlin. This is basically what happens today. Automated work, could lift basically all people out of poverty and allow for more time towards education, but the caveat would be that the profits from the Companies that run the machines would have to be used to pay for it, but instead Companies each make about 50 people so ultra wealthy they could never spend it in a 1000 life times and keep people as part of the machinery that make them money.
The female squirrel finding out Arthur wasn't really a guy squirrel brings me to tears every time 😭, but the wizards duel between Merlin and Madam Mim is iconic 🧙🏻♂✨
What kinds of weird brains wrote that scene? Wizard keeps turning young Arthur into various animals, which is bizarre, then we come to the squirrel wanting to make out with him, but he's just a boy, and not into.... animals. And this was a Disney movie, back when Disney movies were thought to be wholesome. Very very weird. Don't get me wrong, I loved this movie when I was a kid. Beautiful animation. Looking back on it now, I can't help feeling like I was being sent bad messages through questionable things like this. Hey and it's free to watch on TH-cam right now! Of course it is..
@@BattleAngelFan99LMFAO don’t watch the last unicorn 🫣😵 Animated movies “for children” was still a new concept in the 60’s. My grandma was already 10, kids born in the 40’s were already getting out of high school, and Disney was not marketed to elementary students
Well, in France, Sir Ector's voice actor is also the voice of Jasper from " The 101 dalmatians " Baloo from " The Jungle Book " Thomas O'Malley from " The Aristocats " and Little John from Robin Hood. But the funniest thing is the fact, in each of these movies, the boss of the french voice acting voiced one character (except in " The Aristocats " where he voiced two characters)
Story artist and character designer Bill Peet based Merlin on Walt Disney himself, noting that they were both cantankerous and argumentative, yet brilliant and ultimately lovable. In his preliminary sketches, Peet even gave the wizard Walt's nose.
This was technically, the last animated feature film made and released while Walt Disney was still alive, as he would pass away before ‘The Jungle Book’ was released.
The line ''Don't let it be forgotten, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot'.” is my favorite line from Camelot which was the name of king Arthur's castle.
That lyric, of course, is from the Broadway musical CAMELOT (1960), which was filmed in 1967. It's based on the later sections of T.H. White's novel THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, while THE SWORD IN THE STONE is based on the first section.
I was at Disneyland for Halloween last year, and they had a bunch of their villains out for a special event. One of them was Mad Madam Mim. The actress was really good, and it was loads of fun watching her and listening to her as she brought Mim's energy to the role.
The character of merlin was more portraid as a druid but whats the difference never let the details get in the way of a good story and this is an amazing story
The best part of the movie makes me laugh at 11:12 is Merlin about to transform to Archimedes and he flies away to avoided it but imagine he did it so all the feathers poofed out and the human NAKED!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So I have a couple of other facts I forgot about: 1. The design and character was modeled after Walt. How both could be joyful, but also stubborn and angry. 2. The film was nominated for an Oscar of Best Scoring Adaption or Treatment losing to Irma La Douce. 3. There is an extended version of the overture song with the lyrics: “Though they tried for the sword with all their might. No knight in all the land, could draw the wondrous blade from it’s resting place. It’s secret they could not understand. The one who was meant to rule the land and worthy of the throne. He will seek the sword with a humble heart and not for himself alone. He will be the one who was born to claim The Sword In The Stone!” 4. The film is based on a book series from the 1930’s, but unfortunately is the basis also for the musical Camelot so both would end the same way not very good.
I think @jamesmoyner7499 might be confusing T.H. White's Arthurian novels, on which this movie and CAMELOT (1967) are based, with the Arthurian novels of Howard Pyle, the last of which was published in 1910. White's novels were originally published from 1938 to 1940, then in 1958 collected and revised under the title, THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING.
And also at 25:50 Archimedes says to Wart No No No No No No Boy now used your head will you how do you expect to learn anything and right away at 26:20 Archimedes laughing his ass off. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My saturday started sad i found out my grandpa passed away this morning and i didn't get to say i love you to him my Last words for him were see ya and i feel bad i didn't spend his Last days with him
Reportedly, this was Walt’s least favorite film: He was spending more time on Disneyland than on animation, and thought he could give it to his best story man Bill Peet to handle. Walt was furious at the sloppy result, fired Peet, and resolved to have hands-on control with their next big project…namely Mary Poppins. However, Peet had done so much early work on Jungle Book, he was allowed to come back and finish the production.
I never noticed before how he'll happily sing a song about what makes the world go round days before he learns that it actually does go round. Also, drinking game: drink every time they reuse that 'Whoa, wh- whoa!' sound.
The fish that was chasing them is a pike. Those are indeed big guys! Easily the size of an arm, even longer (depends on the species, there are several)
I discovered a channel where a couple made vidéo of them with Disney characters. One of the short videos is the " I feel good " prank sound and they added Archimedes and his laugh
The year before this movie came out, I had spent the summer reading "The Once and Future King," the book on which this and the musical Camelot are based, (not a bad feat for a boy of 9) and was disappointed that the cartoon was so silly. I have a greater appreciation of it now.
I used to confuse this one with the black couldren as a kid 😂 This one is so nice to watch when it’s rainy out and you’re sick or something, or a good fall asleep movie even.
This is an older Disney film that definitely needs more attention. You are one of the first reactors to it, Tim, so feel happy! The opening theme is so goddamn good. "A Legend is sung, of when England was young, and knights were brave and bold...." (Chills just writing it!) It wasn't until I watched the "Merlin"miniseries/movie from the 90's(with Sam Neill and Miranda Richardson)that I learned the swords name as Excalibur. Lol, Archimedes is such a mood. "Pinfeathers and gullyfluff!" The Squirrel scenes ending is so hard to watch for me. Fan fiction people have even written it changing, with Wart having the squirrel girl turned into a human to avoid the sadness. Madam Mim may be a random scene, but she's so good throughout her scene and so hilarious, she was the main thing I remembered about the movie. I know it didn't outright say it, but I feel like Merlin got Hobbs sick because he saw the future and knew he wasn't at the scene of Arthur drawing the sword, which is why he left.
Good movie choice Tim I always loved Disney’s the sword in the stone especially Merlin‘s magic there’s so much fun. There are moments where I wish that scene where he shrink everything down into one bag that would make moving a lot easier and cleaning the dishes. Plus, it’s like foreshadowing for Arthur (when others call them wart) of when he before he became king. Another movie would be fun for you to watch if you ever get a chance for a movie reaction on this is Disney’s Bedknobs and broomsticks.
Fun fact : in France, where I live, Asterix's voice actor was considered as the boss of the french voice acting. He left us 4 yeats ago but he had a 60 years old career with in it, a lot of Disney characters of my childhood
This film was one of the last movies Walt Disney himself lived to see completed. The Sword in the Stone also had the involvement of animator Floyd Norman. He was still fairly new to the studio at the time of production. Walt trusted him when he proved his worth.
In MEMORY OF THE MUSICAL SHERMAN BROS (which this was the first animated collaboration on Disney Animation), in other words, while Wart is endearing, the voice acting was inconsistently inferior on him (dueto inconsistent voice changes prvided by different youth actors) compared to the superior latin spanish version
King Arthur was my obsession for many, many years after seeing both this film and Excalibur (which I also highly recommend.) Arthur is a figure that has endured so many centuries, and yet every different telling of the character and his stories, and the stories of his knights are all reintegrations and retelling of many different historical eras and cultures. Britains were invaded several different times from the Scottish Picts, the ancient Romans, the Saxons, the Normans, and each and every one of them integrated somewhat and something be it characters or cultural traditions into the Arthur legend. The Roman Empire falling eventually lead to Britain falling to ruin from the Scottish Picts, which lead to Anglos, Saxons, and Juttes coming ostensibly to help repel these invaders, but slowly, they started to take over the whole country. They were eventually defeated at the Battle of Badon Hill, and this is sort of a genesis for the Arthur legend, as there was a brief period of relative peace, but the Anglos, Saxons, and Juttes (Germans) eventually came back and conquered Britain, renaming it Angland (England) and forcing the British natives into Wales, Cornwall, and even to the coast of France (which is why there is a coastal region called Brittainy). Welsh is even derived from the old word for “foreign” as the English eventually believed themselves to be the actual natives to England. The Arthur legend lay somewhat dormant until the Normans (originally Vikings that settled the coast of France) came to conquer England after somewhat assimilating with the Britains of Britainny (who still recalled their ancestral home), and when they did, the Arthur legend as we know it today was born, incorporating elements of the warlords who defeated the Saxons, the pride and glory of the ancient Holy Roman Empire, and even some of the old Scandinavian/Norman traditions of heroic sagas and eddas.
6:41 my favorite part from the movie. Thanks, Tim, and a happy saturday to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I really enjoy The Sword in the Stone! In fact, I recently did a rewatch of this film because I had the urge to watch it again and have a good time. I enjoy the adventures of Merlin and Arthur, especially the big wizards duel between Merlin and Madam Mim(fun villain btw), which is always entertaining. Very fun Disney film imho.
I remembered that this movie is on Disney plus and it's also in the program Once Upon a Studio. I think this person should know that on the DVD of this movie are 2 cartoons that are on Disney plus. The 2 cartoons are the nominated Mickey Mouse cartoon Brave Little Tailor and the Goofy cartoon A Knight for a day.
Thanks for watching this underrated classic gem!!! If you would like to check out more King Arthurian or Merlin films/series I recommend these: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Nicolas Cage), A Kid In King Arthur’s Court, Avalon High, The Kid Who Would Be King, and Merlin (2008). 🧒🏼🧙🏻♂️🦉🪄🗡️🪨💛❤️💙
I grew up with the censored Swedish version, sadly, but still enjoyed it back then. xD (They didn't release it uncut until 1993, and before then, they had about 4 minutes removed from the movie).
If you haven't already you need to see the Disney movies, Robin Hood &The Great Mouse Detective. Those 2 along with this one are easily my favourite Disney 2d Animated films.
why does no one ever love the cute sugar and spoon? hes my favorite with /// Arthur and Merlin but dude no one ever speaks of sugar and spoon. ANd plus this is my tied favorite of all Disney movies of 4 Aladdin Return of Jafar, Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood all #1 favs. Not kidding either.
One huge mistake: Merlin was not a "Wizard" and he would not call himself one. The title of "Wizard" was actually an occupation given to men that claimed to be able to recognize and hunt witches. Witches being both men and women. The occupation lasted till around the 1500's. Later on writers brought the word Wizard back to wrongly differentiate male and females witches.
@@ReiseLukas Actually Warlock was used to describe a person of either gender that was a VERY bad person. Someone that did bad things especially breaking his word and sworn oaths. It was not used to describe people of Magical persuasion at first. But when church leaders decided that magic-crafting was bad, it was to describe a male witch. 'A bad person that works with the devil." But that was all the churches doing. Then Hollywood just went to town with it. Those that truly practice witchcraft know that witches are male and female and there is no separate name or title for a male witch.
Ahah, ca c'est le Disney que je regardais chez ma nourrice quand j'étais malade. J'avoue que c'est un de mes préférés et si tu te souviens de " Shrek 3 " Merlin apparait dedans (c'est bien qu'ils aient gardé sa maladresse et son excentricité). Si je me souviens bien de la légende, Kay devient l'un des plus fidèles chevaliers de la Table Ronde. Merlin savait que Moustique était quelqu'un d'important pour le futur mais il ne savait pas comment. C'est pour ça qu'il insiste sur le fait de l'éduquer et se fâche quand il devient écuyer. Petites anecdotes : en France, il y a une série télé appelée " Kaamelott " qui est une parodie de la vie du roi Arthur, et il y a aussi un endroit, dans la forêt de Brocéliande, en Bretagne, appelé " Le rocher de Merlin " qui serait là où le magicien aurait été emprisonné par la fée Viviane
Well, here some movie suggestions you could have a look at: 😊 Quest for Camelot _(1998)_ Anastasia _(1997)_ Bartok The Magnificent _(1999)_ Atlantis: The Lost Empire _(2001)_
If you liked this you might want to check out the live action musical Camelot which is based on the same book series. It’s a bit darker in tone but still great.
Given that the music and lyrics were written by same guys for Mary Poppins, its no wonder that the song where Merlin packs his bag has words that are completely made up. Id like to believe that was their formula; having at least one song with a made up word. Merlin’s VA must’ve hated the Sherman Brothers for putting him through that tongue twister 😂😂😂 PS the Narrator and Sir Edgar were voiced by Sebastian Cadot who was Bagheera from Jungle Book
I just read up on pike they're very Nutritious 38 grams of protein if someone wants muscle I can almost gurantee that'd be the way to do it. Also this is bar none my favorite disney animated film along with the first Rescuers.
I was shocked you never told what you think of my 4 way tied favorite Disney movie. Sword in the Stone tied with, Aladdin, Return of Jafar, and Robin Hood is the best Disney movies of all time tied. No one better than the other and the best character Sugar and Spoon cute and cool but tiny parts.... Merlin and Arthur great characters. You don't neeed music alot, or alot of bright color, to make a movie, just change it up make it unique. It has alot of everything in it castles Knights brain over brawn, heart, magic it just hits everything to me, but hated by others idc the movie is tied in a 4 way battle of the best Over rated ones like stupid Lion King,, Even worse Frozen never seen or will, got to be joking. This is a masterpiece even if others refuse to see its greatness. I take pride in seeing a true gem hidden from others clouded visions of what makes a great movie. As others are hypnotized to like the SAME ,, and i repeat same old Disney ones over and over Lion King and Frozen i take joy in true art like these 4.

This was technically, the last animated feature film made and released while Walt Disney was still alive, as he would pass away before ‘The Jungle Book’ was released.
My fav old Disney film, featuring my fav side character, Archimedes the Owl who is perpetually over it.
One of the best characters of the movie. In the french version, some of his lines are super funnier
The line ''Don't let it be forgotten, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot'.” is my favorite line from Camelot which was the name of king Arthur's castle.

"I'm an ugly old creep!!" madame mim is my favorite lmao
And Merlin he would said to him: Ugh!!! Knock it off how jolly can you get for the rest of the day laughing? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If Kay had won the tournament, Everyone would have seen King Kay Rule.
Being king is about responsibility. And something tells me that Kay doesn't deserve to be king.
101 Dalmatians is a classic for sure.
So I have a couple of other facts I forgot about:
1. The design and character was modeled after Walt. How both could be joyful, but also stubborn and angry.
2. The film was nominated for an Oscar of Best Scoring Adaption or Treatment losing to Irma La Douce.
3. There is an extended version of the overture song with the lyrics: “Though they tried for the sword with all their might. No knight in all the land, could draw the wondrous blade from it’s resting place. It’s secret they could not understand.
The one who was meant to rule the land and worthy of the throne. He will seek the sword with a humble heart and not for himself alone. He will be the one who was born to claim The Sword In The Stone!”
4. The film is based on a book series from the 1930’s, but unfortunately is the basis also for the musical Camelot so both would end the same way not very good.
Interesting facts. Thank you for sharing, but one note is the book series started in the 1930’s not the 1910’s.

In the Myths, Merlin was capable of time manipulation, Time-freezing, time-travel and more!

You should play Kingdom Hearts. Merlin is in the game and many Disney characters.

Well Done Tim watching the movie The Sword in the Stone that movie is one of my favorites as Alice in Wonderland too.
Merlin and the girl squirrel is so good 😂😂😂😂
When she arrives, I thought " Who's laughting now ? "
one of my all time Disney favourites, next to Robin Hood and The Jungle book...tx for a rare reaction to this gem!
In MEMORY OF THE MUSICAL SHERMAN BROS (which this was the first animated collaboration on Disney Animation),
in other words, while Wart is endearing, the voice acting was inconsistently inferior on him (dueto inconsistent voice changes prvided by different youth actors) compared to the superior latin spanish version
Now I’ve seen like first half of this movie, so now I get to see.. pieces of this movie now.
I watched for my childhood movie
Thank you for restoring my memories
Awesome reaction of my favorite Disney movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I'm not sure if this was the first movie I ever saw in a theater, but it's the first one I remember.
THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE NOSTALGIA MOVIES 😂❤
King Arthur was my obsession for many, many years after seeing both this film and Excalibur (which I also highly recommend.) Arthur is a figure that has endured so many centuries, and yet every different telling of the character and his stories, and the stories of his knights are all reintegrations and retelling of many different historical eras and cultures. Britains were invaded several different times from the Scottish Picts, the ancient Romans, the Saxons, the Normans, and each and every one of them integrated somewhat and something be it characters or cultural traditions into the Arthur legend. The Roman Empire falling eventually lead to Britain falling to ruin from the Scottish Picts, which lead to Anglos, Saxons, and Juttes coming ostensibly to help repel these invaders, but slowly, they started to take over the whole country. They were eventually defeated at the Battle of Badon Hill, and this is sort of a genesis for the Arthur legend, as there was a brief period of relative peace, but the Anglos, Saxons, and Juttes (Germans) eventually came back and conquered Britain, renaming it Angland (England) and forcing the British natives into Wales, Cornwall, and even to the coast of France (which is why there is a coastal region called Brittainy). Welsh is even derived from the old word for “foreign” as the English eventually believed themselves to be the actual natives to England. The Arthur legend lay somewhat dormant until the Normans (originally Vikings that settled the coast of France) came to conquer England after somewhat assimilating with the Britains of Britainny (who still recalled their ancestral home), and when they did, the Arthur legend as we know it today was born, incorporating elements of the warlords who defeated the Saxons, the pride and glory of the ancient Holy Roman Empire, and even some of the old Scandinavian/Norman traditions of heroic sagas and eddas.
It sounds like you say "talking edibles" at 5:06 instead of "talking animals".
6:41 my favorite part from the movie. Thanks, Tim, and a happy saturday to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I really enjoy The Sword in the Stone! In fact, I recently did a rewatch of this film because I had the urge to watch it again and have a good time. I enjoy the adventures of Merlin and Arthur, especially the big wizards duel between Merlin and Madam Mim(fun villain btw), which is always entertaining. Very fun Disney film imho.
Incredible animation in every frame, everyone sang their asses off, and did you notice Merlin's shoes when he returns from Bermuda?
I love this movie. Other great Arthur projects are the Merlin Miniseries with Sam Neil as Merlin and The Mists of Avalon miniseries.
I remembered that this movie is on Disney plus and it's also in the program Once Upon a Studio. I think this person should know that on the DVD of this movie are 2 cartoons that are on Disney plus. The 2 cartoons are the nominated Mickey Mouse cartoon Brave Little Tailor and the Goofy cartoon A Knight for a day.
En realidad el yunque estaba sobre una piedra, y la espada atravesaba ambos. No sé por qué muchas versiones olvidan el yunque.
The sword of the stone is a great Disney movie.
such a lovely classic!
Arcameades was probubly right though, Mim only wanted rules so she could break them.
Thanks for watching this underrated classic gem!!! If you would like to check out more King Arthurian or Merlin films/series I recommend these: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Nicolas Cage), A Kid In King Arthur’s Court, Avalon High, The Kid Who Would Be King, and Merlin (2008). 🧒🏼🧙🏻♂️🦉🪄🗡️🪨💛❤️💙
The Magnificent Marvelous Mad Madam Mim is my hero. My role model. I want to be her when I grow up.
I grew up with the censored Swedish version, sadly, but still enjoyed it back then. xD (They didn't release it uncut until 1993, and before then, they had about 4 minutes removed from the movie).
Probably my favorite classic Disney film. Aside from Alice in Wonderland (1951).
If you haven't already you need to see the Disney movies, Robin Hood &The Great Mouse Detective. Those 2 along with this one are easily my favourite Disney 2d Animated films.
why does no one ever love the cute sugar and spoon? hes my favorite with /// Arthur and Merlin but dude no one ever speaks of sugar and spoon. ANd plus this is my tied favorite of all Disney movies of 4 Aladdin Return of Jafar, Sword in the Stone and Robin Hood all #1 favs. Not kidding either.
One huge mistake: Merlin was not a "Wizard" and he would not call himself one. The title of "Wizard" was actually an occupation given to men that claimed to be able to recognize and hunt witches. Witches being both men and women. The occupation lasted till around the 1500's. Later on writers brought the word Wizard back to wrongly differentiate male and females witches.
Wasn't a male witch a warlock?
@@ReiseLukas Actually Warlock was used to describe a person of either gender that was a VERY bad person. Someone that did bad things especially breaking his word and sworn oaths. It was not used to describe people of Magical persuasion at first. But when church leaders decided that magic-crafting was bad, it was to describe a male witch. 'A bad person that works with the devil." But that was all the churches doing. Then Hollywood just went to town with it. Those that truly practice witchcraft know that witches are male and female and there is no separate name or title for a male witch.
i watched this movie so many many many times i practically lost parts of my soul to it -.-
You should do the black cauldron next.
35:33 Arthur is the new king 👑
A classic animated tale and a great film feom my childhood. Disjointed, not gonna lie, but still a great film.
make a reaction on kikoriki
Ahah, ca c'est le Disney que je regardais chez ma nourrice quand j'étais malade. J'avoue que c'est un de mes préférés et si tu te souviens de " Shrek 3 " Merlin apparait dedans (c'est bien qu'ils aient gardé sa maladresse et son excentricité).
Si je me souviens bien de la légende, Kay devient l'un des plus fidèles chevaliers de la Table Ronde.
Merlin savait que Moustique était quelqu'un d'important pour le futur mais il ne savait pas comment. C'est pour ça qu'il insiste sur le fait de l'éduquer et se fâche quand il devient écuyer.
Petites anecdotes : en France, il y a une série télé appelée " Kaamelott " qui est une parodie de la vie du roi Arthur, et il y a aussi un endroit, dans la forêt de Brocéliande, en Bretagne, appelé " Le rocher de Merlin " qui serait là où le magicien aurait été emprisonné par la fée Viviane
Well, here some movie suggestions you could have a look at: 😊
Quest for Camelot _(1998)_
Anastasia _(1997)_
Bartok The Magnificent _(1999)_
Atlantis: The Lost Empire _(2001)_
While not a fav of mine, I'd love to see Disney do another Arthurian musical, perhaps one influenced by "The Green Knight."
Almost as good as Excalibur.
If you liked this you might want to check out the live action musical Camelot which is based on the same book series. It’s a bit darker in tone but still great.
Given that the music and lyrics were written by same guys for Mary Poppins, its no wonder that the song where Merlin packs his bag has words that are completely made up. Id like to believe that was their formula; having at least one song with a made up word. Merlin’s VA must’ve hated the Sherman Brothers for putting him through that tongue twister 😂😂😂
PS the Narrator and Sir Edgar were voiced by Sebastian Cadot who was Bagheera from Jungle Book
I just read up on pike they're very Nutritious
38 grams of protein if someone wants muscle I can almost gurantee that'd be the way to do it.
Also this is bar none my favorite disney animated film along with the first Rescuers.
React to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh please
Well you ask for recommendations for classics , But I have been saying Short Circuit 1 % 2 for like ... 2 years or something lol
29:55, the Dream vs Devil duel's (The Sandman) origin?
Good movie
Great 0:16
I was shocked you never told what you think of my 4 way tied favorite Disney movie. Sword in the Stone tied with, Aladdin, Return of Jafar, and Robin Hood is the best Disney movies of all time tied. No one better than the other and the best character Sugar and Spoon cute and cool but tiny parts.... Merlin and Arthur great characters. You don't neeed music alot, or alot of bright color, to make a movie, just change it up make it unique. It has alot of everything in it castles Knights brain over brawn, heart, magic it just hits everything to me, but hated by others idc the movie is tied in a 4 way battle of the best Over rated ones like stupid Lion King,, Even worse Frozen never seen or will, got to be joking. This is a masterpiece even if others refuse to see its greatness. I take pride in seeing a true gem hidden from others clouded visions of what makes a great movie. As others are hypnotized to like the SAME ,, and i repeat same old Disney ones over and over Lion King and Frozen i take joy in true art like these 4.
