Description:
Return to those days of old when knights were bold and baseball ruled the land. Baseball? It's Camelot meets the sandlot in Disney's A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT, the hilarious update of Mark Twain's timeless 'A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court.' To 14-year-old little leaguer Calvin Fuller, life is like one big strikeout when he lets his team down. Then an earthquake sends him through a magical time rift, and he finds himself in King Arthur's court. But all is not well with the realm. An aged King Arthur is in danger of losing control to the evil Lord Belasco, and now it's up to Calvin to save the kingdom. But before he can find a way to vanquish Belasco, he must first find a way to conquer his own fears. Now you can own Disney's marvelous mixture of medieval myth and modern mirth that will have the whole family cheering!
Amazon.com:
Faith in oneself is crucial but often difficult to develop. Calvin Fuller (Thomas Ian Nicholas), a misfit from the 20th-century 'Knights' baseball team, lacks self-confidence. Imagine his alarm when he's sucked into the Middle Ages to answer the wizard Merlin's (Ron Moody) plea for a 'Knight' to save King Arthur and Camelot from the scheming Lord Belasco (Art Malik). Intense culture shock befalls all involved as a bewildered Calvin dines on pig snouts and learns to lance while King Arthur (Joss Ackland) and his court members are confounded by 20th-century inventions like rock & roll and roller-blading. Eventually, Calvin's interactions with the king and his court spark a journey of personal growth that leads to love and a newfound confidence that enables him to help King Arthur, Princesses Katey (Paloma Baeza) and Sarah (Kate Winslet), and Camelot as a whole. Will Calvin's confidence accompany him back to the 20th-century? Loosely based on Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

Rating:  - Fun to see a VERY young Daniel Craig...
...In a role he'd probably like to pretend never happened! (But he looks darn cute, though!)
For the kids, this is not one of Disney's better flicks. Plot is silly & predictable. Special effects are surprisingly cheap looking (especially for a Disney film). But there is nothing offensive to worry about as a parent, and it's a decent film to run on the DVD player on a raining Saturday when the kids are chanting "I'm bored. I'm bored."
For Daniel Craig fans, it's ... Read More
Rating: - A Literary Fantasy Get a Kid Friendly Makeover
Calvin Fuller (Thomas Ian Nichols) has just lost the big baseball game for his little league team, the Reseda Knights. The worse part is, he didn't even try but just stood there as he struck out. Just as he's returning to the dug out, an earthquake hits, and Calvin is swallowed by the giant hole that opens in the ground.
To his surprise, Calvin lands in 6th century England. Because his appearance foiled the Black Knight, Calvin is hailed as a hero by the aging King Arthur (Joss Ackland). ... Read More
Rating:  - Sweeet dude!!
This movie is really sci-fi and good with kindergarteners. It is totally rad dudes and dudettes. It sweet. I would steal excalibur though if i was the kid. He should take it and run. I want my own equiizer that they metion in the movie.
Rating: - Two Stars
I rated this 2 stars because there are TWO STARS in the film. Kate Winslet from Titanic , Etc. and the new James Bond 007 (Casino Royale) Daniel Craig. My Daughter is a huge Daniel Craig fan and she got the film just to see what he looked like before she was one year old. (she's now 12) This is run of the mill, every line is predictable stuff but, I must say after having taken my daughter to see Casino Royale 9 times, this was a real hoot!!! It is fun seeing actors early in their career paying their ... Read More
Rating:  - Kate Winslet
Kate was the best actor in the film no doubt, but as this is a movie for Children I cant really say anything bad about it. My kids loved it and keep in mind it isnt a "new" film in which the effects are cooler than life or perfect.
All in all its a good/cute movie for kids or a Kate fans collection.
