Fan-Cast: Live-Action The Sword in The Stone

“Fan-Cast? Who? Wha-What!?”

With everyone currently staying in doors, streaming is a lot of help to relieve the boredom. The streaming service that that happened to drop as the pandemic kicked off in the UK? The nostalgia machine: Disney+.

Yes, the House of Mouse’s collection of Disney-owned programmes and films has sent everyone back to their childhood between their one walk of the day and quick trip to the shops for essentials.

In celebration of this, we at ScreenHeads have decided to throw you a couple of Disney-inspired fan-casts, playing on some of your favourite childhood films. You’ve no doubt already seen our first instalment: a fan-cast for a live-action Hunchback of Notre Dame adaptation. Next, we are taking you to medieval times (and also 1963) with a live-action take on the cast of The Sword in the Stone.

To remind you of Disney’s tale surrounding the origin of the mythical King Arthur and Excalibur, here is the trailer:
