Description
The Walt Disney Family Museum is screening the feature-length animated film The Sword in the Stone all through the month of July. Adapted from T. H. White’s novel of the same name, The Sword in the Stone is Disney’s take on a classic tale, bringing the story of King Arthur’s boyhood to life.The Sword in the Stone is one of only three fully animated features of the 1960s as Walt Disney began to focus on production of live-action films in the period after World War II. Originally released in 1963, it is the last animated feature that was released in Walt’s lifetime, and the second to last animated film that Walt produced. Filled with contemporary references, comedy, and music, The Sword in the Stone reflects Walt’s unique ability to transpose almost any story into a fantastic visual masterpiece. Like Merlin the magician himself, Walt’s masterful storytelling magically transforms the tale of medieval legend by infusing the classic tale with a dose of his distinctive humor and wit, giving new life to a well-known legend.
