Movie Reviews of Quest for Camelot
Movie Review: Half the movie that "Mulan" is
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a mature adult male, but I find that a well done "kids movie" can transcend many of the limitations inherrent to those intended for adult audiences. A well done "kids movie" can be "ageless." That being said, the producers of "Quest for Camelot" didn't have a clear idea of the target audience: going from ridiculously extreme childishness in some parts, to other parts in which the humor is likely only going to be appreciated by adults familiar with old-time R-rated movies. Now, that may be forgivable, but...
Using five-star "Mulan" as the standard, "Quest for Camelot" lacks quality in so many areas. The animation itself is poorer, the story rather less uplifting, the soundtrack more raw. "Quest for Camelot" is not completely without redeeming features - that's why I gave it 2 stars instead of just 1 - but it's a far cry from the excellence of "Mulan."
Summary of Quest for Camelot

A heroic young girl a handsome blind hermit and a comical two-headed dragon join forces to recover King Arthur's magical sword Excalibur after it is stolen by an evil enemy.Running Time: 93 min.System Requirements:Widescreen 1.85:1 apect ratio enhanced for 16X9 TVs English French Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround English French subtitles 2 documentary featurettes: "How Its Done" looks at the animation process; "The Voices" features interviews with Pierce Brosnan Jane Seymour Cary Elwes and others.

Ingredients from Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Pocahontas are evident in the tale of a girl named Kayley (Jessalyn Gilsig) whose father, a Knight of the Round Table, is killed by Sir Ruber (Gary Oldman), a maniacal brute who steals Excalibur and threatens to seize King Arthur's Camelot. Kayley enlists the blind, reclusive knight-aspirant Garrett (Cary Elwes) to brave the Enchanted Forest and retrieve the magic sword, and their adventure is (of course) fraught with danger. Adding extra punch to the movie's commercial appeal, the soundtrack songs are performed by big names like LeeAnn Rimes and Celine Dion. And if that's not enough to hold a kid's attention, there's a two-headed dragon ("we're the reason cousins shouldn't marry") voiced by Eric Idle and Don Rickles. With so much talent involved, it's entertaining but uninspired, although cleverly harmless riffs from Dirty Harry, Taxi Driver, and other movies spice up the adventure with enjoyable pop-culture references. --Jeff Shannon
