Description
A pic I commissioned fromRemember the heart breaking scene in The Sword in the Stone where Arthur becomes a squirrel. The part where Merlin changes Arthur back, breaking the heart of that sweet little female squirrel always upset me.
In this version, Arthur decides to take a different path.

I think she'd be a very happy and spoiled little squirrel

I just watched the movie again. (I only saw it once, when I was 4, never again since then), but I clearly could recall that moment. I'm really sad for her. This drawing brings a lil' smile. Thanks for that.

If only the squirrel became a girl...none of the mess with Guenivere would have ever happened!

It could work, although I still like the idea of Arthur staying a squirrel. Maybe if they could shift between the two forms.

Only problem: squirrels usually don't have the same lifespan as humans.

Well, a little magic can fix that problem.

Depends on who the writer and what state Merlin's in to get that done.
(though I say maybe Mim could sneak in and pull some squirrel business)

Might also be interesting if they could shift between species, but even as squirrels they would still age as a human rate. Or at least if their squirrel forms do age faster, their human forms wouldn't, so, say spend two weeks as a squirrel and change back human, you're human form will be two weeks at human aging older if that makes sense. That way, neither has to give up the lives they know entirely. They could also use being squirrels as a way to relax if they're in a safe place.

Clearly Arthur was an idiot when he can't see a good thing when he comes across it or in this case her!
I mean, seriously this movie needs a sequel and complete the squirrel's story arc.
I just hope they don't make it into a re-hashment of Twilight. That would totally ruin not the sequel but the first film.

You must be kidding.

My worry is that they'd have her become a human. While I can see it working and it probably would be what would be best for them, a part of me wants them both to remain squirrels and live happily ever after as squirrels. I know there's destiny and all, but with fiction (I'm not sure how much truth there is to the legend of King Arthur), isn't the whole point that your imagination is the only limitation?
Maybe it's the part of me that likes "Wart" as the clumsy but still sympathetic and lovable kid that wants to see him stay with the squirrel. Yes, he's young enough that giving her what she wants is probably not an option, but he can still snuggle with her and rub her belly and stuff.

Yep. Now I just need to get them a giant version of one of those wheels and they'll be set.

Why would they need a wheel?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was a joke. Like how people get those wheels for various rodent species, even giant ones for chinchillas so they can exercise. Although, given what that female squirrel was after, if Arthur was willing, I think they'd get plenty of exercise. Er, not that I encourage such things, because he's too young. Fortunately though, squirrels always make sure to obey age restrictions.

Oh, THOSE types of wheels...

I feel you touch me in the pourin' rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again!
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show!
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn!
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be!
We belong to you and me!
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saver when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show!
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn!
'Cause we're livin' in a world of fools
Breakin' us down
When they all should let us be!
We belong to you and me!
Na na na na na!
Na na na na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na na na na na na!
Na na na na na na na!
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show!

Yeah, I hate the heart-breaking scene as well, this is a nice change. Question is, who would be the next King/Queen in Arthur's behalf? Or would Arthur still become King somehow and the female squirrel his queen and future wife?
Anyways, still a nice pic here.
