Factual error: When Merlin and Arthur are squirrels Merlin says squirrels mate for life, which is not true. Squirrels are promiscuous.

The Sword in the Stone (1963)
1 factual error
Directed by: Wolfgang Reitherman
Starring: Sebastian Cabot, Junius Matthews, Karl Swenson, Rickie Sorensen
Other mistake: Merlin says, "Man will fly someday". For a few frames after he says this, his thumb on his pipe is painted blue, then returns to its normal color. This causes a blinking effect.

Suggested correction: No it doesn't. There's a tiny spot of blue noticeable for a mere frame, but in no way does his thumb turn blue nor could this be listed as a mistake.
