Product Information

The UK VHS (used in the 1990s release) and DVD version omits the second half of Madam Mim's first line "Sounds like someone's sick. In his book The Best of Disney, Neil Sinyard states that, despite not being well known, the animation is excellent, a complex structure, and more philosophical than most other Disney features.

Before Camelot, before Excalibur and the Round Table, and Lancelot and Guinevere, there was a boy who would one day be the legendary King Arthur. Merlin has come from the Second and First World Wars, ticking through the centuries to find Arthur as a young and lost boy, overshadowed by his brother Kay.As for the story itself, I wanted something interesting, but not too exciting, after all, my eventual goal was to get some sleep. They narrowly escape being crushed by him and are saved by Pellinore and a revived Questing Beast who successfully fends off the giant. He says that a band of fairies have kidnapped his companion, Friar Tuck, and the Dog Boy, a servant of Sir Ector. This is an influential book, inspiring a Disney animated film, and providing the template, in the figure of Merlyn, for such authors as Neil Gaiman and J.

This makes everybody feel uncomfortable, and Merlyn seems to regret his bad temper, apologising to Kay and giving him a silver hunting knife.

Twyti arrives, and Ector throws a magnificent Christmas feast, where songs are sung and Sir Ector gives a warm speech, welcoming his guests.
