Asking as an ignorant American - is The Sword in the Stone Welsh?
My picks
Mexico - Three Caballeros, despite the movie being set in South America (I LOVE Coco)
Norway - Frozen
China - Mulan
Germany - going with Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs as she has a m&g here
Italy - Pinocchio
American Adventure - so many to choose from. My first thought was The Rescuers tho I also thought of Fess Parker.
Japan - Big Hero 6 was all I could think of
Morocco - Aladdin
France - Beauty and the Beast tho Cinderella was right behind.
UK - Great Mouse Detective first with 101 Dalmatians runner up
Canada - Brother Bear
King Arthur was either Welsh, Cornish or from elsewhere, such is the problem of legends stemming from semi truths.
However with the likes of Sir Gawain, Guinevere and son on, the chances are he is indeed from some part of Wales.
Aladdin was most definitely not Moroccan. The Middle East, Jordan or somewhere is more fitting.
Frozen takes inspiration from bits of Norway, the chapel for example, but also Iceland, Finland and of course the story is Danish.
But Disney-wise of course you’re correct!

No one’s mentioned Bedknobs and Broomsticks yet.
This sounds like fun and I will be starting this tonight! Thanks for the idea!
Had to laugh at Disney-wise!
Thank you for the info on Wales, etc. I’ve been reading lately fiction set during the Great War with mostly UK characters. Wales when it’s mentioned is very much a foreign place.
Disney does have its own take, which is fine with me tho I’ve read scathing reviews of the American Adventure version of history. Completely missing the figure actually climbing the stairs ! ! !
Or the animatronic horse.
I just thought of another good around the World movie: The Flight of the Navigator.
So many decades to choose from.
And to respond to your next post: I have never watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks. There seems to be a gap there of a couple of movies.
