Leave your thoughts about Quest for Camelot.
| EmpirePhilip ThomasThe movie as a whole - an undeserved flop in the US - is energetic, pacey and funny with tons of great fights. What more could any six-year-old want? |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarbara ShulgasserIt isn't as charming as "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Little Mermaid" (especially musically), but it's an easy-to-swallow entertainment. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA spirited adventure with generous romantic and comic charms. |
| Los Angeles TimesLynne HeffleyAlthough the film starts off a bit slowly, things pick up as the two heroes venture into the mysterious forest in search of Excalibur. There the images start twisting themselves into wacky animated fun. But still, events are interrupted by way too much singing, a prospect not helped much by the caliber of the instantly forgettable tunes composed by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowDecent full-length animated musical drama. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid LutyThe talents of the actors are pretty much ignored, in favor of warmed-over bits reminiscent of Robin Williams' genie character, sans energy. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsWhile moments indicate that not everybody working on the project was asleep at the switch, Quest For Camelot is strictly for bored toddlers and those breathlessly anticipating the completion of the Ferngully trilogy. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThose who are more discriminating than the average 9 year-old will discover that The Quest for Camelot rapidly grows tiresome. Consequently, any adult on a search for the holy grail of animated pictures is advised to keep looking. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe movie offers a grab bag of oddball characters who seem unfocused, and its visual rhythms are jerky and spasmodic. |
| Miami HeraldLeila Cobo HanlonThere are a few inspired set-pieces -- Ruber's creation of a mechanical army is really quite something -- and the score by David Foster and Carol Bayer Sager is generally fine. But overall, this is a bloodless entry into an already highly formulaic genre. |
