Plot – This is the Walt Disney's version of the Celtic saga of King Arthur and tells us about the relationship between Merlin the Wizard and the young Arthur, better known as Wart. Wart is a kitchen boy at the castle of an English lord, but he is of royal blood and predestined to rule all over England. To learn the virtues necessary for his future mission, Arthur is transformed by Merlin first into a fish, then into a squirrel and finally into a sparrow. The treacherous Madam Mim gets in the way but the slyness and the knowledge of good Merlin will defeat the evil Mim: Arthur pulls a magic sword from the stone, becoming the King of England.
