Magical duel


As i saw "The sword in the Stone" i wondering, if Disney influenced the magical duel in "The Raven" or perhaps the other way round, "The Raven" inspirated Disney? It's not easy to decide, both movies are made in 1963! But the idea of a fun-tastic duel of magic is in both movies very similar.
Did anybody have informations about a possible connection? The Movie-Connections in the IMDB shows nothing about a possible connection.

Very old post, but:
The two duels are very different. The point of similarity I see is a duel. So I doubt there was much influence.
