The Wart in Living Color

You must have suspected that we'd start here. The original book, The Sword in the Stone, was adapted into a feature Disney cartoon in 1963. The Disney version follows the basic tenants of T.H. White's story and stays true to the characters. Yes, the gang's all here. However, the symbolism that White presented in his version is not used in the Disney version. (You know you want to see what the Questing Beast looks like.) This site provides links to small clips and other information about the film.
