Critics Consensus

Diminished by uneven animation and treacly songs, Quest for Camelot is an adventure that ought to be tossed back to the Lady of the Lake.

Energetic, pacey and funny with tons of great fights. What more could any six-year-old want?

A lightweight but likable fantasy that offers a playfully feminist twist to Arthurian legends.

2/5

The producers hired singer songwriters David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager to do the music -- or should I say, muzak. These two write the wimpiest music on the planet.

Both the derring-do of this duo and the comic antics of their animal sidekicks (particularly a talkative two-headed dragon) will keep children entertained.

3/5

Adapted from the novel The King's Damosel by British writer Vera Chapman, it's hot on character but rather devoid of action.

My definition of a "so bad it's good" movie. I do not watch this because I want a good movie. I watch it to get a laugh, to enjoy some catchy songs, and to relive nostalgia.

Yeah the animation could be better, but I loved this film as a child and I still love it now. The songs are great as is the story.

Forgotten childhood favorite and incredibly underrated… would be a shame to let a couple of “uneven animations” in a solid film released in ‘08 hold any viewer back from enjoying endless laughs and catchy songs you’ll still be quoting decades after watching for the first time!

The road to Camelot is a tough one, but with great characters, and unforgettable songs, the journey that lies ahead is definitely full of surprises.
