I haven’t actually seen/read too many Merlin-inspired things. I’m hard–pressed to come up with an answer. In fact, I think I may just have to go with the Disney film, a Sword in the Stone. That said, I really want to watch this! Stupid me didn’t realize that SyFy had picked it up until it was too late to put it on the DVR.
I think this newest version might just be my favorite. It’s so interesting to not only see Merlin coming into his own, but also doing so while facing such dangerous opposition; and Colin Morgan portrays all that brilliantly.
There have been a lot of great versions of Merlin, and while I’ve enjoyed most, my all time favourite is the version of Merlin depicted in Disney’s “The Sword in the Stone”.
It still kills me when he turns into a squirrel and has to fend off the lovesick advances of the lady squirrel. When she starts to cry after his rejection, not going to lie, I get a little chocked up.
My favorite Merlin to date was in the movie Excalibur. His character was eccentric and full of pagan references, cryptic comments and as many flaws as the rest of the characters.
My favorite Merlin is from the BBC cartoon version where Matt lucas does the voice over.
I’m far too old to be watching it, but it just cracks me up :’)

My favorite version is this tv show. He as more emotion.
