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

The wizard Merlin (right) and the witch (left)

This is the plot of the war between the wizard Merlin and the villain witch. The rule proposed by the witch is—the game change technique, requiring that the one who cannot be changed can only be changed into an animal, so both sides show their magical powers, and Merlin is not sure what to change. The witch turned into a tortoise, and the witch turned into a crocodile, opening her mouth to bite the tortoise. The "tortoise" turned into a rabbit when something bad happened, but the witch turned into a fox and wanted to catch the rabbit. The wizard Merlin changed again. When a caterpillar becomes a caterpillar, the witch immediately becomes a hen, and flies out to eat the caterpillar. The wizard becomes a walrus and wants to "sit to death" the hen, but the "hen" becomes an elephant again, and Merlin becomes a mouse scared again. Elephants and witches turned into poisonous snakes and almost ate mice... Finally, the witch cheated and turned into a fire-breathing dragon to burn the wizard to death, and the wizard also thought of a smart trick ---turning into a measles virus and causing the witch to get measles! In the end, the witch had no choice but to return home to recover...

I really admire the wizard’s wisdom, he knows many ways to change (can only become kind animals), and he is well versed in the methods of educating children-such as "everyone has the right to speak" (always don’t let children express themselves The point of view, always feel that their young parents have to learn), let the little protagonist try to find solutions to problems, etc., and are also willing to accept new things (go to the Hundred Acts of the 21st century, return to the Middle Ages, and return to the whole person Just dress like a modern person, dress like a turtle fairy) In addition, the villain witch also has her own story in "Mickey Mouse" magazine, you can check it out if you are interested.

The Sword in the Stone quotes

  • Arthur: I can't be a king, Archimedes. I don't know anything about ruling a country.

    Archimedes the Owl: I told you to leave the thing in the stone, boy.

    Arthur: I'll run away. That's what I'll do. They'll just have to find somebody else.

  • Merlin: Man will fly someday, I tell you! I have been there! I have seen it!

    Arthur: Oh, I do hope so. I've always dreamed about flying; that I was a bird and that I could go sailing all over the sky, high above everything...

    [Merlin sneaks up behind him and quietly changes him into a sparrow]

    Arthur: It's my favorite dream. But then, I suppose everyone dreams about flying.

    [notices his new form; now happily starts flying]

    Arthur: I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird!

    Merlin: [laughs] Hold it, boy! Not so fast, not so fast. First, I'd better explain the mechanics of a bird's wing.

    [grabs Archimedes' wing and runs his finger along the feathers]

    Merlin: Now, these large feathers are called the primaries, and...

    Archimedes the Owl: And since when do you know all about birds' wings?

    Merlin: I have made an extensive study of birds in flight, and...

    Archimedes the Owl: And if you don't mind, I happen to be a bird!

    Merlin: All right, Mr. Know-It-All! He's your pupil!
