DOUBLE REVIEW OLD & NEW OF DISNEY'S SWORD IN THE STONE
First Summary Short review of THE SWORD IN THE STONE from an old archived short version writeup: Disney Score: *** |
Merlin turns the kid into several animals including a fish, squirrel and bird, teaching him more about Darwin's natural selection than anything that'd aid him in his future position as King of England, which is only shown for the last five minutes after "Wart" pulls the titular sword from the stone with inevitable ease. The songs aren't too annoying, the animation looks good, and it definitely won't bore the kiddies. Adults, however, might take a snooze.

At DisneyLand, while there was, long ago, a ride concerning almost all the movies... even though, back then, it didn't seem so commercialized, and would take years, actually, for the reverse to occur: that being rides becoming movies (PIRATES anyone?)...
Right as you enter the Magic Castle, there was (& maybe still is) a sword inside a stone that only lifts once a day? Is this memory correct or not? But what is completely recalled, though having nothing to do with the movie at hand, is that Stacy Keach did the voice-over for the Submarine Ride, which, before becoming FINDING NEMO propaganda, was an educational exploration of the sea including cool, surreal mermaids; and Orson Welles narrated INNERSPACE, another ride that is no longer.
