Synopsis

In the days of King Arthur's Camelot, a renegade knight Ruber plots to usurp the throne by turning his henchmen into formidable monsters, forcing the widow of a Round Table knight he killed to use her privileged access to the King's castle and, most importantly, stealing King Arthur's symbol of power, the magical sword, Excalibur. When she kidnaps the widow, her young rambunctious daughter, Kayley, who dreams the seemingly impossible dream of becoming a Knight, escapes to both warn the King and try to recover Excalibur. Along the way, she meets up with a young blind hermit, a goofy two headed dragon and a mysterious silver winged falcon and together, they endeavor to find the sword to save the kingdom.

Critics' reviews

"A spirited adventure with generous romantic and comic charms."

Peter Stack: SFGATE
"'Quest for Camelot' is easy to sit through and reasonably entertaining. Certainly it should satisfy its target audience. But Warner really needs to journey more boldly toward a personality of its own and offer a real alternative."

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
"The animation isn't vivid, the characters aren't very interesting, and the songs are routine. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"A lightweight but likable fantasy that offers a playfully feminist twist to Arthurian legends."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"Those who are more discriminating than the average 9 year-old will discover that The Quest for Camelot rapidly grows tiresome. Any adult on a search for the holy grail of animated pictures is advised to keep looking. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"The movie offers a grab bag of oddball characters who seem unfocused, and its visual rhythms are jerky and spasmodic."

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"The movie as a whole - an undeserved flop in the US - is energetic, pacey and funny with tons of great fights. What more could any six-year-old want? (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Philip Thomas: Empire
