Sweet, simple story that doesn't stray too far from the original, with nice songs and magic. Not a great favourite, but fewer (and not very) scary bits than most Disney movies. Shame Wart (to become King Arthur) has an American accent!!

- I rate this title on for age 2 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
Sweet, simple, old fashioned story

I love it, but it's not a blockbuster
There is magic and some violence with the witch and even the mistreatment of Arthur. Parents should always watch something WITH their child to explain any iffy content.

this movie rocks!!
one of the only movies that still feels magical.. there is some wizard dueling, possibly scary scenes w/ fish and the usual evil enemy, but this movie is tons of fun!!

Based on violence
We previewed this movie hoping to share it with our 4 year old daughter. My husband remembered it as rollicking fun. I remembered it being essentially about battles, fighting, sword fights, etc. Within two minutes of the title, both of us were on the same page - absolutely not for OUR 4 year old. In the opening scene, the brothers torment each other something fierce. Sure, kids really do that, but do we need to encourage it?

Delightful!
My five-year-old adores knights and he loved this. I am extremely selective about what he sees, and can really say that this film is unique in the sea of kid's film. Great music, plot, message, language, humor, everything. I recommend it highly!!

Wihtout a doubt the least creative and accomplished of the animated features made by Walt Disney.
I rate this title on for age 2 and give itCute and fun for all ages
This isn't my favorite Disney movie. (There are others that surpass this one in many aspects.) But it is very cute and quite enjoyable. I especially like the parts where Merlin transforms Arthur into a squirrel, a fish, and a bird. And the Wizard's Duel between Madame Mim and Merlin is pretty awesome as well. :)

Great original Disney Classic!!!
Fantastic, humorous, and highly entertaining film about what King Arthur was taught to make him a great ruler. Great for kids and adults alike! Fantastic family movie!
