No need to remake EXCALIBUR. It is what it is. But someone truly ought to make a faithful adaptation of T.H. White's The Once and Future King. I can't understand why this hasn't been done yet. Disney's SWORD IN THE STONE and EXCALIBUR and FIRST KNIGHT and the like simply can't hold a candle to the version told in White's book.

Damn, Helen Mirren was hot back then.

well i thought the same thing... when i brought it up i was SURE many here would be aware of this... they weren't... i was surprised this well-known issue had been forgotten and so many were unaware...

as the one poster said he saw more information at the top of the LD and LESS info at the bottom means a properly framed version has probably NEVER been released... it's all this matted widescreen stuff...

but after a few apparently long term members here said there was nothing wrong with it... what could i do?... argue?... so i tried to be political...

i've been aware of this nightmarish framing for years...

it's so obvious on the DVD i simply could not believe ANYONE didn't have it LEAP out at them...

i always try to remember these words when opposing ideas are presented on a thing... so i tried to remember them even on this... where frankly i knew i was correct on the issue...

I have to say I wasn't all that thrilled with Disney's 'Sword in the Stone' - it was rather lacklustre in terms of story structure.

I second that remark
