Storyline
Arthur (aka Wart) is a young boy who aspires to be a knight's squire. On a hunting trip he falls in on Merlin, a powerful but amnesiac wizard who has plans for Wart beyond mere squiredom. He starts by trying to give Wart an education (whatever that is), believing that once one has an education, one can go anywhere. Needless to say, it doesn't quite work out that way.

Beginning singer: A legend is sung, of when England was young, and knights were brave and bold. The good king had died, and no one could decide who was rightful heir to the throne. It seemed that the land would be torn by war, or saved by a miracle alone. And that miracle appeared in London town: The Sword in the Stone.

Trivia
This is the first new animated Disney movie to use the regular version of the Buena Vista Distribution opening logo. When Buena Vista began distributing Disney movies, the new animated Disney films, their first animated release, Sleeping Beauty, featured a custom-designed Buena Vista logo relating to the movie. The Sword in the Stone was only the second new Disney animated film released after Buena Vista began distributing them. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: Throughout the entire film Wart's voice keeps on changing from being child like to adult like. One of the easiest spots to notice this is in the thrown room towards the end when Wart is trying to get somebody else to take his place. He says "Oh! Archimedes I wish Merlin were here" in his adult voice, then the camera goes to a distant view and he calls "Merlin, Merlin" in his child voice. See more »Quotes
