Wart is a young boy who aspires to be a knight's squire. On a hunting trip he falls in on Merlin, a powerful but amnesiac wizard who has plans for him beyond mere squiredom. He starts by trying to give him an education, believing that once one has an education, one can go anywhere. Needless to say, it doesn't quite work out that way.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Visual style and narrative structure don't conflict here — they work together. It's noticeable and creates a sense of wholeness.

Worth watching for the overall quality of execution. Not a genre landmark — but solid work that respects the viewer.

For viewers who watch a lot and can distinguish craft from accident.

Director: Wolfgang Reitherman

Viewing atmosphere: Weekend evening, couch, quiet. Doesn't require a special mood — creates one.
