Great title too! I love the term Sage, If I were any more into this list I would have it over for the night and give it breakfast in bed.

Great list.
"Merlin" is of course in a lot more movies, like even "The Sword in the Stone".

Obviously. Click the link next time.

Oops you're right, if the link is the same, I didn't click it.
Well obviously I was making an obvious statement, and you, like everybody else, obviously knew Merlin was in a lot of movies, and obviously I didn't expect you to list them all, just felt like mentioning The Sword in The Stone.
Anyway, good list, you should think of more "sages" or "mentors" to add. But if they have to be recurring, old, and teach youthful adolescents, it might not be that easy to find more.

Description

Once in a while a young hero needs a experienced guide to point him in the right direction.

This is a list consisting of recurring good, old, wise men in cinema who manage to teach naive, brash, youthful adolescence how to become just, moral, strong, courageous champions.

Opposed by the Masters of Malevolence and the Wicked Witches.
