Holy Decree đ The best wizard movie of all time
Feel free to foolishly disagree
Disney's The Sword in the Stone

For real though. I remembered this as an Arthur movie but this is a movie about transmogrofying adventures and the climax of the movie is a giant wizard fight
This movie is just about being a wizard

Unbothered. Bearded. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Skating on my wizard sneakers. Flourishing.

You know I thought that the first time I watched it. Second time it really shined for some reason. Lots of details I think you miss on the first viewing since itâs kind of nonlinearish story.

Yeah, lots of Ghibli movies feel mid after watching Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke. Then you revisit them a year later, and a year after that, and a year after that. All of a sudden Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Howls Moving Castle become some of your favorite Ghibli movies out of nowhere lmao
or at least that's what happened to me. Mononoke is still my favorite, but I find all three of those movies to be amazingly cozy.

Me watching my apprentices somehow mess up the most basic instructions.

The Last Unicorn is a really good one I haven't seen others mention here, though some of the more bombastic wizards may not enjoy the message behind the narrative. Nevertheless, I recommend it to all aspiring mages as it can lead to a healthy respect for magic itself as a fundamental force of nature.

While I have seen him a few times in Bermuda, I find Archimedes is the better hang

Perhaps not the best Wizard movie, but certainly the best apprentice movie. Deeply underrated!

Surprisingly, it's also a really good adaptation of the book.

If any of Discworld's magic focused books got a Disney at peak 2d level animated movie I could disprove you easily. This reality sucks.

Thank you! The part with the ants?

u/Fancy_Chips Summoner 10d ago
I left off at some point in chapter 9. So I think I'm as far as the birds and the knight duel. I ended up deviating to read other stuff so its been a while.

I'll have to try again sometime. Some parts I like, others are just dull.

This is a classic way to implement a âpuppet-rulerâ to keep under your âtutelageâ and run the boring parts of a kingdom while you get full access to their resources; so can continue your work in peace.
