Leave your thoughts about A Kid in King Arthur's Court.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasWatered-down versions of once-winning formulas, with recycled charms best suited to snowbound preteens. |
| VarietyLeonard KladyRun-of-the-mill modern retelling in which a schnooky kid is transported to days of yore to revivify the glory of Camelot. But the juvenilization of the hero turns into an ill-fitting concept that unbalances an already fragile fantasy. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittRarely do the well-financed wizards at Walt Disney Pictures cook up a movie this badly written, acted, and directed. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIt's a missed opportunity for introducing the Mortal Kombat generation to medieval combat that was really mortal. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonSaddled with a script full of lifeless, mock-clever ideas (such as having the local blacksmith make a pair of Rollerblades), Gottlieb can only do his best to mollify his audience with a few fleeting hints of the movie's untapped potential. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonBecause of the square, lackluster way that director Michael Gottleib has staged his material, the whole production seems sort of limp and perfunctory. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisThere are simply not enough sparks here to fire the imagination. |
| People MagazineRalph NovakThis lame effort, Disney's latest live-action motion picture for children, owes a big, fat nod for its plot to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. In no way, however, does it improve upon the original |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThere's nothing particularly wrong with A Kid in King Arthur's Court and nothing right with it, either. Parents will take their kids to see it and suffer, but the pain is mild. |
| Austin ChronicleHollis ChaconaEven with Nichols, decent production values, a pair of plucky princesses, and a few pleasant surprises tucked in here and there, A Kid in King Arthur's Court is a pretty prosaic picture. |
