The Sword in the Stone Page #2

Synopsis: Arthur (aka 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 Wart beyond mere squiredom. He starts by trying to give Wart an education (whatever that is), believing that once one has an education, one can go anywhere. Needless to say, it doesn't quite work out that way.

We've got to save enough room for all

Higitus figitus migitus mum

Prestidigitonium

Alika fez, balika zez

Malaca mez meripedes

Hockety pockety wockety...

Whoa!

Now, stop, stop, stop, stop!

See here, sugar bowl.

You're getting rough. That poor

old tea set is cracked enough.

Now. Now, all right.

Let's start again.

Ah, let's start... Eh...

Oh. Where was I, boy?

- Uh, hock-hockety pockety?

- Oh, yes, yes, that's right.

Hockety pockety wockety wack

Odds and ends and bric-a-brac

Be with you in just a minute, son.

Packing's almost done.

You, you, you

bungling blockhead!

Hey, easy there.

No, no, go ahead.

Dum doodly doodly doodly dum

This is the best part now.

Higitus figitus migitus mum

Prestidigitonium

Higitus figitus migitus mum

Prestidigitoni...

- Ha, ha!

- What a way to pack.

Well... Well, now,

just a minute, boy.

How else would you get all this stuff

into one suitcase, I'd like to know?

- Oh, but I think it's wonderful!

- Oh.

Yes, it is rather.

Now, well...

don't, don't you get any foolish ideas

that magic will solve all your problems.

- Because it won't!

- But, sir, I don't have any problems.

Oh, bah, everybody's got problems.

The world is full of problems.

Oh, blast it all!

There, now. You see what I mean?

See, that's the trouble

with the world today.

Everybody butting their heads against a

brick wall. All muscle and no mentality.

Do you want to be

all muscle and no brain?

- I don't have any muscle.

- You don't? Well,

how do you move about?

Oh, I suppose I,

I do have a little.

Aha. There, you see. Well, that's

enough. Now, develop your brain.

Knowledge, wisdom. There's

the real power. Higher learning.

That's the thing.

So, first thing tomorrow morning,

we'll start a full schedule.

Eight hours a day. We'll have six hours

for schoolroom and two for study period.

But l... I don't have the time.

I have page duties.

Uh, page duties? Ha!

Ah, well, we'll change all that.

There's got to be a shake-up.

Well, yes, sir.

I, I suppose so.

How do you ever expect

to amount to anything without

an education, I'd like to know?

Even in these bungling,

backward, medieval times...

you have got to know

where you're going, don't you?

Ye... Yes, sir.

Yes, of course. So, you must

plan for the future, boy.

You've got to find a direction.

And you've...

Now, by the by, what direction

is this castle of yours?

I think it's north.

The other way.

Oh, oh.

All right, then we better get

a move on. Come on, come on, lad.

Pick up the pace. Pick it up.

Pick it up.

Pick it up.

Yo-ho, the devil take it!

No, the devil take it.

Anyone's got better sense

than to go barging off in

that infernal forest alone.

Bill Peet

William Bartlett "Bill" Peet (né Peed; January 29, 1915 – May 11, 2002) was an American children's book illustrator and a story writer and animator for Disney Studios. Peet joined Disney in 1937 and worked first on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) near the end of its production. Progressively, his involvement in the Disney studio's animated feature films and shorts increased, and he remained there until early in the development of The Jungle Book (1967). A row with Walt Disney over the direction of the project led to a permanent personal break. Other feature films that Peet worked on before he left include Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940, The Pastoral Symphony sequence), Dumbo (1941), The Three Caballeros (1944), Song of the South (1946, cartoon sequences), So Dear to My Heart (1948, cartoon sequences), Cinderella (1950), Alice in Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), Sleeping Beauty (1959), 101 Dalmatians (1961), and The Sword in the Stone (1963). Peet's subsequent career was as a writer and illustrator of numerous children's books, including Capyboppy (1966), The Wump World (1970), The Whingdingdilly (1970), The Ant and the Elephant (1972), and Cyrus the Unsinkable Serpent (1975). more…
