| Rating |  | | Date | July 25, 2005 | | Summary | Get past Marxist ideals, and it's a fun movie | Content
 | "...to each according to his need."
This is straight out of the Marxist handbook, and we all know how that idealistic/naive endevor went.
Other than that one scene, I found this movie highly enjoyable.
Pros:
-Characters were rememberable
-Cool bad guy/guys
-Talented singers for soundtrack
-Loosely based on King Arthur legend
-Not too scary for kids over 3(Your milage may vary)
Cons:
-Despite seemingly original characters, it seemed very formulaic
-Communist propoganda in one scene, so obvious, I felt the need to explain to my seven year old, why that just doesn't work |

I recommend looking at the movie when you have time and since it does not cost much at all, and if you dont like it simply return it but i think you will enjoy this movie. |

| When I saw this movie I loved every second of it. The animation was amazing, The songs were breathtaking ( the prayer, and through your eyes were the most beautiful songs iv ever heared). the devon and cornwall song was just right out hillarious!!!!!!!! I loved every minute that Kayley and Garret were together. there relationship started out pretty much hating each other then turning into a romance. U dont want to miss this movie!!! |

| I bought both this and the 1960s Batman movie for my nephew for Christmas. I liked this movie quite a bit more. For one thing, it has a feisty female crusader straight out of Vicki Leon's UPPITY WOMEN OF THE MIDDLE AGES. Although farm girl Kayley is Luke Skywalker-esque, she's definitely no damsel in distress ("What's a damsel?" she asks). Also the wonderful song "The Prayer" infuses the movie with the sort of powerful good-versus-evil struggle Sir Malory and Le Morte D'Arthur would love. An animated companion piece to the miniseries MERLIN. |
| Rating | | | Date | November 29, 2004 | | Summary | TALE OF A KNIGHTESS | Content
| QUEST FOR CAMELOT is a charming, if somewhat derivative, animated film the whole family should enjoy. Loosely based on the King Arthur and Excalibur legend, the story follows a young girl whose knight father was murdered by the evil knight Ruber. She enlists the aid of a blind young man and his magic bird, and also a two headed dragon, added for humor and ultimately to help save the day.
With animation reminiscent of early Disney and one CGI segment involving a sleeping ogre, CAMELOT has all the ingredients for a musical toon. The songs written by Carole Bayer Sager and David Foster are more pop oriented but performed well by Bryan White, The Coors, Celine Dion and some of the cast members.
The characters are voiced nicely by Jessica Gelwig (Kayley), Cary Elwes (Garrett), Gary Oldman (Ruber), Jane Seymour (Julianna); Pierce Brosnan (Arthur), and of course Don Rickles/Eric Idle as the dragon.
It's probably not destined to be a classic, but it's fine entertainment for the whole clan. |
