Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - So many big names, so much disappointment
I can't believe how many big name actors signed on to do voices for this fairly lame story. First of all, although it's not Disney, it follows the Disney formula of the time having a "girl power" message and featuring lots of sappy songs (none of which were sung by the actors who did the speaking voices). Second of all it was generally very formulaic: heroic girl meets heroic but unappreciated guy, they fall in love and save the day and everyone starts to appreciate the guy. There is the obligatory ... Read More
Rating: - "Camelot" Stands Alone
In my newly-arisen rise of fancy towards animation, few films disappointed me as much as the 1998 Warner Bros. fantasy "Quest for Camelot". Since it came very much off the heels of the super-successful and enjoyable "Space Jam", I had high hopes for a sword & sorcery adventure from the promising studio that brought us decades of Looney Tunes; perhaps they were ready to step out of the realm of serial cartoons and become an empire not unlike Disney. I mean, who wouldn't be impressed by simply looking ... Read More
Rating:  - B-grade Bad-guys ; Gnarly Forest!
The B-grade Bad-guys are devoid of motive and dimension---as is the wimpy waif of an Arthur. Yet the film has some endearing moments: the animation of the forbidden forest with its writhing tree limbs, monster-eating plants, grasping branches, and helicopter flowers, is charming (nothing quite like it in any of the Disney-forests); the two-headed dinasour who can never fly because it can never agree with itself (among the better of the animated world's comic side-kicks); and the reluctant romance between ...

Rating: - Great movie for kids,
