The Sword in the Stone (79 min)

Synopsis: When King Uther Pendragon dies, he leaves his sword encased in a stone, claiming that only the true king will be able to remove it. One day, the great but absent-minded wizard Merlin has a premonition about a special young boy. With the help of his trusted owl Achimedes, Merlin finds Arthur, called “Wart,” working as a page-in-training. Merlin travels with Wart to the castle of Sir Ector and his son Sir Kay, who do not take kindly to their visitors. As Merlin helps Wart with his chores, Wart learns that knowledge and understanding are what makes the world go round. He transforms into a fish, a squirrel and a bird. His adventures bring him to the magnificent, marvelous Madam Mim, who challenges Merlin to a wizard’s duel. Merlin’s and Wart’s journey takes them all the way to a tournament in London, where Wart’s true destiny with the sword in the stone awaits him.
