Can’t have a fairy tale without Disney taking a crack at it, can you?
I love this movie. It’s the kid-friendly version, obviously. No love triangle, no creepy insect, no pissed off half-sister out for revenge. Just your garden variety squire who gets turned into a squirrel, and a fish, and a bird.
Also, the wise cracking owl named Archimedes. And who doesn't love the scene where Merlin decides to skip out and vacation to Bermuda?
