This week Jeff and Josue are digging into the archives to explore a Disney ‘classic.’ The Sword in the Stone was a childhood favorite that puts a fun, magical spin on a legendary tale. Looking back it may have been more formative than we even realized. We’ll talk about directors and voice actors who proved their worth, talented animators and budget-related shortcuts that you may (or may not) have noticed. Come along for the ride and see if it measures up to what we remembered. And let us know what YOU think in the comments.
