In the animated film The Sword in the Stone, Merlin the Magician takes the future king of England under his care. Clive Owen stars in a more grownup version of the King Arthur story. Another young man discovers that he is the one chosen to save his people from an evil ruler in Eragon.
This movie was inspired by Disney’s 1940 and 2000 versions of Fantasia, which featured a short film starring Mickey Mouse as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
