The Sword In The Stone (1963)

Dramatically-lacking the effort, characterization, or animative charm of Disney’s earlier [and even later] offerings, TSITS’ epic medieval concept and King Arthur revisionism aren’t enough to pull this sword out the proverbial cinematic stone. 4/10.

Plot Synopsis: This Disney adaptation of the classic fable chronicles King Arthur’s humble beginnings. As an orphaned child, Arthur, who was then known as Wart, wants to help his foster brother, Kay, succeed in becoming a knight. While helping Kay train, Wart stumbles upon a cabin belonging to Merlin, a bumbling but talented wizard. Merlin does his best to convince the boy that he is bound for greatness, and when Wart and Kay travel to London to attend a jousting contest, they learn that Merlin was right.
