Quest for Camelot

Warner Bros. jumped into the animated feature competition by playing it safe, giving the Arthurian legend a conspicuously Disneyesque facelift. It's 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, retrieve the magic sword and their adventure is, of course, fraught with danger. Adding extra punch to the movie's appeal, the songs are performed by LeeAnn Rimes and Celine Dion. And if that's not enough to hold a kid's attention, there's a two-headed dragon voiced by Eric Idle and Don Rickles. Cleverly harmless riffs spice it up with enjoyable pop culture references.
