		VIDEO: "Sword In The Stone" is presented in the film's original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, and for a film that's nearly 40 years old, the picture looks suprisingly good.
		Although many of these films retain their entertainment value years later, "The Sword In The Stone" generally is in the middle ground in terms of Disney offerings - not the worst, but a film that is rather slow and dull at times.
		Sword In The Stone Scrapbook: 16 pages worth of concept art for the film are included in this section.

	DVD.net : The Sword in the Stone (Remastered) - DVD Review
		Although a film that is less widely recognised than some of its Disney stable mates, I have no hesitation in recommending Buena Vista’s re-release of The Sword in the Stone to anyone looking to increase their Disney collection, or looking to find a babysitter for their little sprouts.
		Retaining the charm of early animated features, and yet uncharacteristically free of the moralistic baggage that the Disney moniker seems to imply, The Sword in the Stone is a classic animated feature film for the whole family.

	The Sword in the Stone DVD Review
		In fact, The Sword in the Stone is one of the less memorable animated Disney films, which is not to say it's bad, but rather it seems misguided.
		In this case, it is unfortunate, as The Sword in the Stone pales in comparison to the other animated films from the 60s, or the decades that preceeded for that matter.
		"Sword" was the first animated project the brothers did for Disney and this featurette allows the Shermans to look back on their experience and even reminisce about a few songs that were not used in the final film.

		As Freedom's Sword reveals, this was quite unnecessary: there is more than enough drama in the real events of the Wars of Independence.

	The Slipper and the Rose (1976 Film Soundtrack) :: Zhen Beautybeauty11058281 :: Dvd
		After inventing veritable swaths of Disney's musical theme park, TV, and film legacies in the '50s and '60s (including Zorro, The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins, and The Jungle Book), the brothers found their talents largely underemployed in TV and film efforts after the death of Walt Disney.
		It isn't to say that their talents were in the least diminished, as this soundtrack to the 1976 U.K.-produced live-action adaptation of Cinderella ably attests.
		If one needed an object lesson in the fickle nature of Hollywood and its precipitously shifting tastes, one could do worse than to examine the career of the songwriting brothers Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman.

	Excalibur -
		The story of the Sword in the Stone has an analogue in some versions of the story of Sigurd (the Norse proto-Siegfried), who draws his father Sigmund's sword out of a tree where it is embedded.
		According to some speculators, the legend of the Sword in the Stone is possibly a reference and rememberance in storytelling of the techniques of Bronze Age sword making technology[1].
		The film Excalibur attempts to rectify this by having the Lady of the Lake only repair the sword after it is broken.
