"The Walt Disney Company made an animated movie version of The Sword in the Stone in 1961. The movie is entertaining, but ignores White's carefully-constructed moral lessons in favour of visual gags. "

Although I don't disagree, does anyone else think this sentence could be revised to be more NPOV? It sounds a bit slanted.

[edit] how's this?

It now reads: "The Walt Disney Company made an animated movie version of The Sword in the Stone in 1961. Like most Disney films, it is based on the general plot of the original story, but much of the substance of the story is considerably changed." Perhaps not as neutral as it could be, but I think it's an improvement.

Unless my eyesight is bad enough to misread, isn't there a statement in caps lock that says "You are a Jew if you believe this"? Is that vandalism, being and extrateraneous statement? Danny sepley 02:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
