Overview
Wart is a young boy who aspires to be a knight’s squire. On a hunting trip he falls in on Merlin, a powerful but amnesiac wizard who has plans for him beyond mere squiredom. He starts by trying to give him an education, believing that once one has an education, one can go anywhere. Needless to say, it doesn’t quite work out that way.

Viewing Notes
This was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid. It may not be the best of the Disney Classics, but I absolutely love the simple story and the animation. Re-watching this as an adult is interesting because there really is no plot or real conflict to this story. We’re simply taken on a journey as young Arthur fulfills his destiny to become king. If it was released today it would be labeled as a “prequel” for sure.
