The Sword in the Stone Viewing Guide
An often-overlooked Disney gem, The Sword in the Stone (1963) re-tells the education of the Wart (Arthur) at the hands of the cranky, but kindhearted, magician Merlin. The old wizard's task is to train Arthur to value education and learn to rule his kingdom wisely. His method of accomplishing this is transforming the Wart into a variety of animals. Another favorite scene is the wizard's duel between Merlin and the witch Madam Mim as they transform into various forms and try to destroy one another.
