Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

OllieSuave-007 This is an animated film from the Walt Disney era, one about young Arthur, who aspires to be a knight's squire. However, a powerful but forgetful wizard named Merlin has plans for Arthur to be something beyond a squire.This movie actually starts off with a captivating intro where England is left without a king, and a proclamation has been sent that the one who can pull the sword out of the stone will be made king. It then leads to imaginative and quirky scenes where Merlin demonstrates his magical powers to Arthur while, at the same time, try to get him an education so he could get to places beyond that of being a squire.This film really does not have much of a plot, as most of the movie is about Merlin showing Arthur his magic spells (I thought the squirrel scene took up too much time). However, it's great imaginative fun for the little kids and, probably to the adults' liking, you can get a couple of important messages from the film like getting an education and how complicated love can get.The animation was pretty good, not as vibrant as earlier films or in later films of the 80s and 90s, but it is serviceable. The songs by the Sherman Brothers weren't my favorite to listen to, but they're quite fun and easy to sing along with (again, something good for the kids). Wolfgang Reitherman did a nice job directing, as the characters were memorable and have a nice dose of humor, and his sons, Richard and Robert, did a nice job in voicing Arthur - innocent and carefree, but grounded. Rickie Sorensen also voiced Arthur and also did an equally good job.Overall, it's not one of the best Disney movies I've seen but it does have a certain charm to it that definitely acquires that special "Disney touch." Perhaps that is what separates the more classic Disney movies from the more recent ones - the classics, and some of the ones filmed later in the 1980s and 1990s, have a more whimsical and charming element, while the more recent ones have a more hip and modern Hollywood influence. I myself prefer a Disney film with a more classic feel.Grade B-

KineticSeoul This is a underrated animated Disney film, that I can get why it might be underrated. But I personally think it deserved a bit more recognition for it's worth. The story is about the building up of Arthur by getting trained by Merlin to take the crown and become King Arthur. And most of the training parts are actually fun to watch. My personal favorite was when they transform into squirrels and gets hit on by the female squirrels. The animation in this sort of reminded me of the animation for Winnie the Pooh. This isn't topnotch when it comes to the animation compared to other Disney films, but it gets the job done.7.8/10

rbn_lrk-1 50 year has passed since this movie came out.It really shows it's age.Anyway I seen worse Disney classics.A boy finds a magical sword and meets the wizard Merlin.In the climax Merlin and a witch fights each other.An unusual fight with transformed critters and a dragon.It's a playful and colorful movie that seems to spoof Disney itself.The cuteness kills the movie.But the songs are memorable and lively.There are romance, animal antics and a duel.So what's not to love? 8/10

Armand nice, didactic, amusing, touching. a classical Disney respecting the old recipes.it is not a surprise or one of great animation but after years and many meetings it remains fresh. and this is important. the mixture between humor and lessons , the first image of king Arthur for kids, the splendid Archimedes and so childish-wise Merlin are the best food for soul and imagination. a beautiful adventure - that is its virtue. and not an ordinary one but a delicate definition of miracles, danger, victories and traps. and few scenes remains remarkable far from every fashion. for many it can be seed of memories or a rediscover of a different manner to create the spell of animation. for other - a part of life, when this movie was inspiration for a large and amazing personal world.
