#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Does Arthur become King immediately after pulling the sword in the 1963 film?

What a correct answer would look like:

Yes, Arthur is immediately proclaimed King after he pulls the sword for the second time. In the 1963 film, Arthur initially pulls the sword unknowingly to serve as a replacement for Sir Kay. When this is discovered, Sir Ector demands he prove it by returning the sword to the stone. After Kay and others fail to remove it, Arthur pulls it out again. This second pull serves as definitive proof, leading Sir Pellinore (and the crowd) to shout, "It's a miracle ordained by Heaven! This boy is our king!" Sir Ector and the other knights immediately kneel/bow to him. The film then transitions to Arthur in the throne room, crowned and robed.

What the LLM said (errors and omissions annotated)

The answer is yes, Arthur is immediately recognized and proclaimed King after pulling the sword, though this recognition requires a specific act of proving it to the surrounding nobles.

Here is the specific detail from the 1963 film, The Sword in the Stone:

The First Pull (Unknowing): Arthur, who is trying to find a replacement sword for Sir Kay, pulls the sword from the anvil atop the stone effortlessly and without realizing its legendary significance, simply thinking it's a replacement weapon.
The Demand for Proof: When Arthur presents the sword, Sir Ector recognizes it and stops the tournament. Sir Kay, not believing the boy he calls "Wart" could do it, suggests that the sword is now easy for anyone to pull since it has already been removed once.
The Second Pull (The Proof): Ector commands Arthur to place the sword back into the stone. Kay and the other nobles try to remove it but fail, as it is "as stuck as ever." Arthur then pulls the sword out a second time with ease, revealing the miracle to everyone present.
Immediate Proclamation and Kneeling: With the second, proven pull, the assembled nobles and Sir Ector immediately recognize him as the rightful King. They shout, "It's a miracle ordained by Heaven! This boy is our king!" Sir Ector and Sir Kay fall to their knees before him, with Ector tearfully begging his forgiveness.
The Crowning: The film shows Arthur, now officially referred to as the newly crowned King Arthur, sitting on the throne in the throne room shortly after this event, though he expresses his feelings of unpreparedness to Archimedes.

Thus, while there is a brief moment of doubt and a need for a second pull to confirm the prophecy, the immediate result of the second pull is his instant proclamation and recognition as King by all the lords present.
