It should be illegal for a movie about a wizard to be this boring
James (Schaffrillas)May 6, 2018The duel between Merlin and Madame Mim is possibly the best magical duel in all of film.

When I was little my dad taped Robin Hood and this off the telly back to back but he ran out of room on the tape so Sword in the Stone finished when Merlin said "blow me to Bermuda!". It's nice to see it all worked out in the end!
robynMar 1, 2021The wizard duel between Merlin and Madame Mim was really exciting and the animation was impressive. However, the rest of the film and the story as a whole is pretty horrible. This is the structure: First ten seconds: There is a sword in the stone The next hour: Arthur has…

I get that the male voice changes a lot during puberty but did they really need three voice actors to play Arthur
liam fFeb 16, 2021Lol Wolfgang Reitherman really couldn’t care less what anyone else is doing could he! How many of these vignettes literally have nothing to do with what we’re allegedly here for but he gets away with it by drawing all those nice little twinkly stars. Good for him! The…

- Sabrina Bondi lovedThe Sword in the Stone
The 2D animation looks splendid, if not up to the heights of previous Disney animated affairs. The antics of playful animals appeal to the child in all of us, while the story moves at a good pace and varies pleasantly from Arthur-ian expectations.
Liss likedThe Sword in the StoneI actually like this one so much considering it’s an old film. I love the scenes of him turning into the different animals, especially when he’s trying to get away from the girl squirrel. Gives me memories of when I watched it as a kid.
Paola lovedThe Sword in the Stone"The Sword in the Stone" is a Disney classic of magical proportions! With Merlin's whimsy and Arthur's journey, it enchants with humor and heart. A charming adventure for all ages, reminding us that the smallest can become the greatest.
- demo is "meh" onThe Sword in the Stone
5.8/10 movie was called the sword in the stone but only showed the sword in the last 5 minutes of the movie. Didn’t feel like Arthur was the main character but it felt as if Merlin was.
Da channel Fire is "meh" onThe Sword in the Stonei don't like how modern this one is. it just deviates a lot from the original story. deviation can be really interesting but I feel like it just simplifies this movie.
MK04 likedThe Sword in the StoneIts a super cute,funny,fun adventure!!! I loved the art and score and everything about this film!!!!! Idk what else to say other than I enjoyed it!!! 77/100

7.3/10 it is probably one of the more recognizable adaptations of the story of King Arthur and yet still underrated. It can be pretty rewatchable though
Izzy lovedThe Sword in the StoneI have a soft spot for anything related to Arthurian legends and this is no exception, just a really fun interpretation of the ancient stories
victoria likedThe Sword in the Stonelove the animation and the comedy aspects. my favorite scene was merlin and the female squirrel. great movie to sum it up 👍🏾👍🏾 : 7/19

Metacritic
Disney’s adaptation of the first book in T. W. White’s colourful Arthurian trilogy The Once And Future King (which also served as the source for the musical Camelot) is formulaic matinee fare, competent and sprightly but undistinguished.
William Thomas
Empire
The picture makes an eye-filling package of rollicking fun and thoughtful common sense. The humor sparkles with real, knowing sophistication.
