The Sword in the Stone (1963)

Disney's take on the King Arthur tale focuses on Arthur as a "scrawny" boy. With only a brief mention of the rich lore that preceded his birth, the crucial contrast + comparison between son and father is absent. Instead, it explores young Arthur's education by Merlin, a process of learning by doing.
The abridged narrative makes sense given that it's a film targeted at children, but the story is little more than a collection of transformation events stitched together, with lessons regarding actions and consequence failing to hit their mark. Characterisation of Merlin and Arthur is good, I loved the backgrounds, and the squirrel scene had a special charm, but the film is a pretty forgettable attempt at adapting the famous story for a younger audience.
