I am a huge Disney fan. I watched the movies as a child and I still love watching the same movies I loved back then.
The movies are all fantastic but I do have a favorite. One that watched at least 50 times but I just can't get enough of it. The story is brilliant, the characters are fantastic....
It is....
The sword in the stone
or in German
Die Hexe und der Zauberer (The witch and the wizard).
The movie is from 1963 and it was the last Disney animated feature released before Walt Disney's death.
It tells the story of the young boy Wart who later becomes King Arthur.
My favorite scene is the magic battle between the with Madam Mim and the wizard Merlin who teaches Wart/Arthur everything he needs to know to become successful...with the help of his owl Archimedes, my favorite character from the movie.
I am pretty sure I will still enjoy this movie when I am 80 years old. It is an important piece of film history for me.
What is your favorite Disney movie?
I am linking up with Natalie and Bella for the Weekly Dish.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
I loved the Aristocats and Aladdin, but they are all good!!
ReplyDeleteThey really are!
DeleteOh, ich mag auch sehr gerne Disney Filme. Allerdings habe ich keinen Lieblingsfilm. Die alten Zeichentrickfilme finde ich aber oft schöner, als die neueren. Schneewittchen z. B. fand ich toll.
ReplyDeleteJa, da stimme ich Dir voll und ganz zu!
DeleteOh, love it too! It's funny how they name it different things in different countries. In Brazil the movie is called "The sword was the law" . Not exatly a kid-friendly name!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is awesome! The Sword Was The Law is a great name for a children's movie!
DeleteOMG ich glaubs ja nicht das du das gerade heute postest. Ich liebe diesen Film! Ich hatte ihn auf VHS und ich weiß noch wie ich ihn immer und immer wieder angeschaut habe als Kind. Das witzige....ich hatte ihn irgendwie vergessen.....und vor zwei Tagen habe ich beim zappen den blauen Hut kurz blitzen sehen und wusste sofort was es ist. Ich musste es einfach schauen. Der Film ist immernoch super!!!
ReplyDeleteDas ist ja der Wahnsinn! Zufálle gibts! Haha! Der Film ist echt sooo super. Ich schau mir den immer gerne wieder an! Jedes Mal wenn er im Fernsehen läuft! Aber ich glaub ich werd mir den irgendwann mal auf DVD kaufen. Auf VHS hab ich ihn auch noch!
DeleteI love that one, too. My all-time favorite is Alice in Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that one is great too!
DeleteSo glad that you love that movie! It is one of my favourites too, but it seems that not many people ever mention it. I also love Beauty and the Beast and Robin Hood. What a fun link up, I might have to join in this week, what with it being Disney related! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree. It is not one of the most popular Disney movies and I don't really know why. It is so great!
DeleteYou should definitely join the fun, dear!
I love Disney! My favorites are Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. At our wedding during the union candle ceremony, two of our friends sang "A Whole New World". Yea. We're Disney people!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so cool! I love it!
DeleteI've not seen the sword in the stone but I'll check it out. my favorite disney movie is beauty & the beast, although I don't always like the musical numbers but at least Belle isn't a princess and doesn't need rescuing. I also like Mulan also because she's no weakling, like Belle.
ReplyDeletehope you have a sweet day.
oh yeah, you should definitely check it out. I love love love it! Beauty and the beat is awesome too! And yeah, Mulan! Love to watch these movies, they never get old!
DeleteHave a lovely day!
I always was aa mega Lion King fan
ReplyDeleteOh yeah! Love it!
DeleteMy favorite was and will always be Robin Hood. I think my parents rented it for me so much as a child that I wore out the rental copy.
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's funny! My parents always rented movies for me too! And I will never forgot when they got "Disney's Fantasia" for me as a gift!
DeleteI LOVE Disney! My favorite is probably The Lion King.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is a great movie!!
DeleteI like Disney movies also and like way too many to pick a favorite. I have been finding German versions of the songs from some of them to help with learning. Some of the best from that endeavor: The Nightmare Before Christmas "What's This?": http://youtu.be/tTW1-0_nrRE Mulan "Be a Man" http://youtu.be/9mByJ68cz_c and Lion King "Be Prepared" http://youtu.be/EC9Pkz9dPMU
ReplyDeleteLove them! It is so cool that you listen to the German versions of the songs. I bet that helps a lot!
