Had the full intention to continue along in my 2020 releases marathon but when I opened up Netflix, I saw that this was on there so I: screamed in excitement, texted my sisters, and immediately threw it on.
It’s been around 14 years since I last saw this movie and there were more times than I can count where I thought I made it up in my head. But I did NOT! This movie exists!!! And the animation does NOT hold up!! It is not good!!! But that’s fine because this movie is still a FUCKING BANGER!!!!! and the score and soundtrack are actually really great.
To conclude this review and continue with my trend of giving life updates within…
August 2016: Scavenger Hunt #17
TASK #4: A film featuring a creature with more than one head!
Warner Bros.' attempt to cash in on the success of the Disney Renaissance, and it's a failed one at that. Admittedly, the animation looks decent enough, but that's all it has going for it. The songs are completely uninspired and bereft of any purpose, the characters are all bland, and plot points either go explained or make absolutely no sense. It also wastes a talented voice cast to boot. Quest for Camelot is the textbook definition of a soulless Disney rip-off, right down to its utter lack of distinct style.
It's been at least 10 years since I last saw it (I was 10) and hell, I loved it to bits.
I saw it last night, and all I was thinking was 'this story-line and animation sucks', and couldn't help but laugh my ass off at it. It's such a crappy movie...but damn, I still love it so much, I still know the songs by heart, and even the dialogues.
It doesn't matter to me anymore how the story doesn't make any sense and how the animation is so poorly made, I think I'm gonna love this film for the rest of my life -holds the dragon's necklace that came with the VHS tightly-
I really fucking loved this movie when I was a kid. This and Ferngully were probably the animated movies I watched the most. And I was both pumped and dreading a rewatch of it. But I still dug it. I think this movie is legit pretty strong and a ton of fun.
Maybe it's my interest in Arthurian legend and stories surrounding that, or how much the songs in this bop, but I don't see most people's problems with the movie. It has strong themes that are consistent throughout. the animation is still decent outside of the ogre which looks horrendous, and the voice work is all good. The transitions between the speaking voices and singing voices are hilariously bad,…
Assembling an ear-catching voice cast and inventing a follow-up Arthurian legend, "Quest for Camelot" has the stuff to be better than it is. The family-friendly animated fantasy tells what could be fun story while introducing younger audiences to the tales of Camelot, bursts with musical numbers, and features potentially memorable creatures and characters. It is all, however, so flimsy. The animation seems cut-rate, the story limps from start to finish, the musical numbers serve little real purpose, and those characters and creatures do not stick. It all results in an easily dismissed wash.
It’s so obvious from the way he’s animated and written they originally wanted Nick Cage to play Ruber and I feel deeply deprived that we never got to hear him sing that villain song.
ultimate challenge #23: how am i this old. movie from childhood.
what doesn’t hold up as well as I remember: a lot of the songs (only exceptions are I stand alone and if I didn’t have you) and how stressed this used to make me
what does hold up: my massive crush on garret, and that I believe in bladebeak supremacy💆🏽♀️
During the mid 1990s, studios were tripping over themselves to try and duplicate the so-called Disney formula. Even the previously artful and independent Don Bluth had sold out to copy this formula, with little to no success.
So enter Warner Bros studios and there take on the King Arthur legends...err...medieval story that happens to have King Arthur as a side character. This film copies the Disney formula from frame 1, right down to the songs (everyone gets one, from the opening anthem to the mother's ballad to the love song...even the comic relief duo), the only problem is that it's the Disney formula without any of the talent or animating skill that the Mouse House had in droves back in…
this movie is just an acid trip and a half and i love it so much bc it’s my whoooole childhood. the animation styles changes throughout which is HILARIOUS but listen the soundtrack? every word is engrained in my mind. slaps
yo why is the main character kinda ableist tho
“it’s beautiful...”
*looks garret dead in his blind eyes*
“too bad you can’t see it”
still slaps even tho they let the most blatantly evil man in Camelot be a knight of the round table
"Come on, baby, light my fire..."
"You know, there's nothing more pathetic than a flame-retarded dragon."
A forgotten relic of late 90's animation when Disney was king and Dreamworks was just beginning, Quest For Camelot is a sort of entertaining film based on a equally forgotten book that not many people remember and when they do, it's not fondly remembered. It's chock full of pop culture references, dubbed over singing voices, big Disney-esque musical numbers and Gary Oldman as a villain because of course Gary Oldman is the villain in a 90's film.
I struggled to see which rating would be fit for such a film as it's a very by the books film in general. Lots of things don't…
What a classic, great performances, funny for all the family and just an amazing film. Highly recommend
not as good as i remember and the animation is more than a little scary. but the songs bang
kayley and garrett are fantastic characters trapped in a deeply underwhelming film. major props for not """curing""" the disabled character though.
This film is singlehandedly responsible for Josh Groban's career. Also Gary Oldman is absolutely electrifying.
Fun, underrated, Non-Disney fantasy. It creates a unique mythos and has some good animation for the time.
On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place.
The only reason I'm covering this is because I'm editing someone's review of it and that requires me to watch it. Until now, I've only heard nothing but bad things about it. Credit where it's due, some of the character animations are fine enough (except the poorly-aged CGI) and the backgrounds are well-done, too. It's not enough to save this movie, though.
It's a movie that desperately tries to emulate the Disney musical formula. It's not always a bad thing; I like "Anastasia," and that's because it's a well-made movie with a solid story. This isn't. The characters are bland and boring. Even worse is that it tries…
O meu filme preferido da animação desde sempre. Uma das vezes que o revi. Banda sonora incrível (canção para o pai linda), personagem principal é uma rapariga corajosa, destemida, aventurera, e um pouco inconsciente talvez também. História de amor bonita. Dragões tão divertidos, fazem-me lembrar alguém. Tudo bom!
