The Sword in the Stone
Disney celebrates a bunch of anniversaries with Blu-ray debuts. Animated fantasy movie The Sword in the Stone turned 50 and adventure film Robin Hood turned 40 this year.
Originally released in 1963, The Sword in the Stone tells the story of young Arthur, who’s tutored by Merlin the Magician before fulfilling his destiny of becoming king.
The film was nominated for an Oscr for its music.
1973’s Robin Hood is another old English legend, about the outlaw who fights against injustices by robbing the rich to feed the poor. Robin Hood is a wily fox, his friend Friar Tuck a cuddly bear, the rich Prince John a cowardly lion and his companion Sir Hiss a slippery snake.
The movie also was nominated for an Oscar for its song “Love” by George Bruns and Floyd Huddleston.
