Following their animated/live action hit Space Jam, Warner Bros. jumped into the fully animated feature competition by playing it safe, giving the Arthurian legend a conspicuously Disneyesque facelift. 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

Senator Jensen (right here)
In any case, this would be the evening in question. It was a case of bait and switch, but we had yet to fully realize it. I grabbed my favorite copy of "Cap'n" Camelot, Jason found his stick of Juicy Fruit (as it were) and we were "on our way!" At least this was not the director's cut (we had not prepared for THAT); I can honestly say it was the finest cat-based re-enactment of the Kennedy family Thanksgiving I had ever seen! Can't wait for it to re-hit theaters. Incredibly rec'd.

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."
