The final post I have for you in this Disney, fresh from the vault series this Sunday, is The Sword in the Stone. Do you remember watching this growing up? Have you children seen it yet? Mine had NOT so I was very curious to get their thoughts on this one.
Humor, spectacle and magic rule in Walt Disney’s legendary classic tale The Sword In The Stone! Embark on an adventure-filled quest for an unlikely hero! According to legend, only someone with honor, decency and inner strength can claim the throne of England – by pulling out the enchanted sword that lies locked in a massive stone. Many brave knights have tried, so it seems impossible that a young apprentice known as Wart could succeed. But with the guidance of the wizard Merlin, help from some hilarious friends and true strength of character, Wart just might become England’s greatest king.
Lili sat back and just watched, with no questions. Typically, she has many questions throughout movies, however I think she was concerned there would be scary parts around every corner. At the end, I asked her thoughts. She responded quickly with, “I really liked it Mom. It had me guessing at some points.” Love her 🙂
