You know that most of Disney's stuff that they profit from is characters created by other people, right?

Some even closer than most think. The Sword in the Stone is based on a 1938 book, it's not an original adaptation of Arthurian legend.

Though really, there never has been so many new takes on Arthur than today.

Many consider that the real golden age of these stories as popular tales is right now, kickstarted "only" 150 years ago by Mark Twain and his Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
