      What a lovely story!

      Sword in the stone——Sword in the stone [Disney Animation]

      What a lovely story! In a

      nutshell, the white beard grandfather who will pass through uses the original ecological teaching method to successfully convey to the future king "Education and wisdom are the most important Ability” concept.

      If OTL is a simple and clear theme that is almost a bit off-topic, if you look at it by current standards, the picture quality is not the picture quality, the plot is not the...

      "Sword in the Stone"-the part where I like the fight between the wizard Merlin and the witch

      This film tells how a child named Walter was discovered by a kind and wise wizard "Merlin". Under his careful guidance, Walter finally drew out the "sword in the stone" that no one can pull and became the king of England. The story, now think about it, the style of this film is actually very rough, but there is such a plot in the film that is worth mentioning

      It's not the story of King Arthur, it's more just a demonstration of Merlin's transformation. The cameo of the witch meme is very brilliant, and it is rare for the character to be whitewashed from the setting of the early...

      Interesting is quite interesting, but the story is too Disney, not like the legendary era at all. King Arthur is like a male version of Cinderella, and the final sword draw is not handled well, too light, and it ends hastily. The cover poster is a picture that has never appeared...

      In fact, it is the childhood biography of King Arthur. After reading the last five minutes, you will feel that the first 70 minutes are procrastinating. You can become a king by pulling out the sword in the stone. The transformation and martial arts you learn in front of you are all entertaining you, but Two squirrels, one fat and one thin, and the mad witch are very...

    In this film, Disney portrays the legendary and powerful Merlin magician as a casual and occasionally off-line old fool, and also raises a knowledgeable owl in the period when he fights with witches. It's very interesting. They become all kinds of things, each of which restrains each other. It's a very creative section in this film.

    Movie quotes

    • Archimedes the Owl: If the boy goes about saying the world is round, they'll take him for a lunatic.

      Arthur: The world is round?

      Merlin: Yes. Yes, that's right, and it also, uh, goes A-round.

      Arthur: You mean it'll be round SOMEDAY.

      Merlin: No, no, no, it's round now. Man will discover this in centuries to come. And he will also find that the world is merely a tiny speck in the universe.

      Arthur: Universe?

      Archimedes the Owl: Ah! You're only confusing the boy. Before you're through, he'll be so mixed up, he'll... he'll be wearing his shoes on his head!

    • [Merlin magics the dishes to wash themselves]

      Arthur: But I'm supposed to do it.

      Merlin: No one will know the difference, son. Who cares as long as the work gets done?

    • Arthur: I'm in an awful pickle. I'm king!

      Archimedes the Owl: Ooo, he pulled a sword from the stone.

      Merlin: Ha ha! Of course, of course. King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

      Arthur: Round table?

      Merlin: Oh, uh, w-would you rather have a square one?

      Arthur: Oh, no. Round will be fine.
