There are many animated movies from the 90's that tried to copy Disney's fairytale musical formula with mediocre outcomes at best. Quest For Camelot is one of the blandest I have seen so far. Not unlikable, just bland.The Hermit was the one character with an interesting side to him, but it is sadly left out and not further explored. Our main character is one of the bland imitations of successfull Disney characters. She looks a lot like Belle and her conflict is as generic as can be with a father who does not mean that a woman is capable of something which in this case is being a knight. She runs away and proves her worth. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to see independent women in animated movies, but how she runs out into the meadow to declare her desire for something bigger than herself is such a blatant rip-off that it hurts. The two-headed dragon was a nightmare come true! Sure Eric Idle is nice, but oh my god those lines he and his partner had to work with! And their song! Rip-off once again and out of place! Pop-culture references can be funny, but it didn't male any sense in this movie. The animation was nothing special. I liked the forest landscapes and the mountains, but I found the character designs weirdly coloured. The use of CGI seemed out of place once in a while, but that is of minor significance. The songs were not that great or memorable. The singing voices in most cases did not match with the speaking voices of the characters most notably the Hermit. I liked "Looking Through Your Eyes" even though The Hermit showed his non-matching singing voice. "The Prayer" was the most oddly placed song in the entire movie, because a tender ballad like that does not fit into an action-packed chase scene. I cannot say Quest for Camelot is complete garbage, but it is sure not for the adults unless you have a nostalgic bond to it. A year later Warner Bros. released a masterpiece which I at all times would choose over this one.

I first saw this film with my sister when I was 11 and she was 7 on a ferry home from France and after having forgotten about it for several years, I re-discovered it upon learning that the Nostalgia Critic had done a review on it. His review wasn't particularly favourable but it was enjoyable nonetheless.Anyway back to the film. The first time I watched it my favourite characters were Devon and Cornwall, who added some comedic value to the film, although I've taken a liking towards Kayley as well for being a brave and original heroine since not all heroines of fantasy films want to be knights. The film has some memorable moments such as the beginning where Kayley is a little girl and saddened at the loss of her father as well as her transition from a child to an adult as she looks at her reflection in the water. I could also remember Devon and Cornwall impersonating Elvis, which was somewhat anachronistic for the film's setting. In spite of this, I liked their song 'If I Didn't Have You' as well as Kayley's 'On My Father's Wings' and Juliana's 'The Prayer.' Garrett's solo number was okay, but his singing voice didn't match his speaking voice. I liked his duet with Kayleigh better. The background music was quite pleasant as well, especially the Irish jig-type music. There are some worthy special effects as well such as the lens flare on the sword, the cold breath coming from Kayley's mouth in the snow and the green lighting during Ruber's song and when he takes Juliana hostage. Some of the effects were a tad CGI-ish, such as the ogre made of rock, but it is funny when Ruber says, "The ogre's butt." It was also funny when Devon and Cornwall said they'd barbecue a bully before breathing fire at the griffin as well as the ending where Kayley and Garrett ride away on a horse with a 'Just Knighted' sign across its bottom. As for the animation, it was consistent for the most part but slow during the back-story of the sword at the beginning.All in all, this is an exciting film worth seeing again after several years. 8/10.

There were many movies that told the legend of King Arthur of England. The Sword in the Stone was probably one of the best examples for this legend. And there was another one called Quest for Camelot- Wait a minute! Quest for Camelot?!! This movie wasn't great, this movie sucked! Why am I saying this? Oh, you're going to find out in a moment...1) Songs, songs, and more songs. Oh, I'm sorry, this is a musical adventure. None of the songs made any sense at all. They would make Tom and Jerry the Movie look like the Music Man or The Titanic Animated Trilogy look like Singin' in the Rain! 2) Rip-offs by the dozen. I spy with my eye the main character who looks like Belle from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. There is no escaping the rip-offs! 3) Abysmal dialog. Read this following quote: "You've got to ask yourself 'Do I feel Clucky?' Well, do you punk?" Stupid. Absolutely stupid, movie! You're ripping off one of Clint Eastwood's best lines and then you inserted "Clucky" instead of "Lucky". If Clint Eastwood were to hear that, he would've said "Boy, do I feel unlucky today. One minute, I was the star of Dirty Harry and that next thing I know, my line gets stolen by an ax-chicken with the voice of Sonic the Hedgehog from that horrible TV series "The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog". Ungrateful punks." This movie is so unbelievably bad that it left the Nostalgia Critic making two nuclear explosions and go on a shooting spree involving Disney characters(Note: for the record, that was played for laughs and no beloved Disney characters were harmed during the making of the Nostalgia Critic episode reviewing this movie)! If I were one of those people working at Warner Bros Studios, I would've stopped the numb-nuts from making this fire-breathing monstrosity that is Quest for Camelot.

This was just like an ordinary Disney classic... only difference was of course, it wasn't, per say. It was a tale based on the things we know and love. A princess, sort of. Something they need to save. A boy, who's blind, and ends up helping them. Dragons and an evil guy and it's all a classic.The only thing that bugged me was the songs that they sang every five minutes it seemed. As much as I enjoy a song or two, I just found it annoying that every conversation seemed to be turned into a song.However, despite all of that, there were many impressive scenes, lots of good 3d that was put to the test. Some excellent 3d in some of the action packed scenes.But all in all, it was okay. Not absolutely awesome, but okay.Rated 6/10.
