Arthur was voiced by three different boys - Rickie Sorensen, Richard Reitherman and Robert Reitherman. The changes in voice are very noticeable in the film because of the way Arthur's voice keeps going from broken to unbroken, sometimes in the same scene. One of the easiest noticed is in the last scene in the throne room when Arthur asks in his "changed voice", "Oh, Archimedes, I wish Merlin was here!" Then, the camera cuts farther back and Arthur shouts in his "unchanged voice," "Merlin! Merlin!"
This was the last animated film that Disney produced, since he died during the production of The Jungle Book (1967).
Although Walt Disney never knew it, he himself was character designer Bill Peet's model for Merlin. Peet saw them both as argumentative, cantankerous, but playful and very intelligent. Peet also gave Merlin Walt's nose. This was the second instance in which Walt unknowingly served as model for a wizard, the first being the wizard Yensid from the Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia (1940). This explains why the character was given the name Yensid. This read backwards is Disney.
The only animated Disney movie from the 1960s not to yet have a Platinum DVD, a sequel, a TV show, or a live-action remake.
The last film in which Bill Peet served as a writer. He later created a version of The Jungle Book (1967) but Walt Disney threw Peet's story out when their relationship fell apart and Peet left the studio.
"[last lines] Merlin: Why, they might even make a motion picture about you. Arthur: Motion picture? Merlin: Oh. Heh-heh-heh, uh, well, uh, that's something like television... heh-heh... without commercials."
"Madame Mim: Sounds like someone's sick. How lovely. I do hope it's serious. Something dreadful."
