A poor boy named Arthur learns the power of love, kindness, knowledge and bravery with the help of a wizard called Merlin in the path to become one of the most beloved kings in English history.
"The story of King Arthur has already had several reinterpretations and facelifts. There are classic interpretations ('Excalibur', 'Camelot'), going through action movies ('Dragonheart', 'King Arthur') and even reaching children's interpretations, such as 'Dragonheart' and the classic animation 'The Sword in the Stone'. Even though it is one of the least celebrated films of the Disney "golden age", the children's movie simplifies the relationship between Arthur and the sword embedded in the stone. The figure of Merlin gains even more projection, becoming that beloved old wise man who inhabits the minds and hearts of several generations -- going from his figure, passing through Gandalf to arriving at Dumbledore. It is not a perfect or memorable film. However, director Wolfgang Reitherman manages to bring emotion and adventure in precise doses in this story full of good moments."
