Fun fact Gary Oldman, the VA for Ruber, actually downed a few shots before doing his lines in order to be more in touch with the insanity of Rubers character. And I say he succeeded with flying colors.

Listen blunt force trauma to the head actually can cause blindness, so its actually pretty accurate for him to have lost his vision from a horse kicking him in the face

Firm guilty pleasure. Can't hate this movie despite its flaws.

The Griffin is the best evil animal sidekick. He deserves a lot more love. Extremely underrated, and deserves a proper name.

People think I'm crazy when I insist that Celine Dion's The Prayer originated in this movie. Of course it doesn't really help when I also say "I hear this song and think of a girl on horseback being chased into a forbidden forest by ogres made entirely of household objects riding on hogs in the dead of night while her mother is held hostage by Gary Oldman." LOL

Quest for Camelot is a guilty pleasure of mine.

You have to admit, Ruber is one of the best non-Disney villains in cartoon history imo. He’s what makes this movie worth watching.

I liked the fact that Garrett wasn't magically cured of his blindness by the end of the movie either. The same way that I liked that the MLP movie didn't cure Tempest's horn. Those elements became part of who they are, and things like this in real life can't be magically cured, only adjusted to. And alot of people have even become stronger (like Garrett and Tempest) as a result of adjusting, and not letting it or anything stand in their way of their self love and hapiness.

I think what I like about Kayley is that she is what I call an ordinary hero. In so many stories you have these amazing badass heroes who fight their enemies left and right but the heroes of this story are just normal people like you and me. People often complain how Kayley isn't good at fighting despite her training, but they fail to realize that training for a fight and actually being in a fight are two different things because in a real fight they could actually lose their lives, and that is why I connect with the heroes of this story because at the end of the day they are normal people but even after surviving these encounters they continue trying to save Camelot. And in all honesty just attempting to standup to evil is heroic.

I love this too much to hate it. The animation, the music, the childhood nostalgia. I Stand Alone will forever be in my heart bc my childhood scenarios were wild with this song, lol

She wants to get the sword to save Camelot because her dad taught her how to fight as a child and was gonna raise her ti be a knight of Camelot but since he died her mother had been protective of her not wanting her to be a knight but Kayley still wants to prove to her father she can be a hero like him That’s why she wants to save the day

“The way they run is so weird” yeah it’s like both half’s of their body is controlling by the other half

I had an animation teacher who worked on this, and would frequently talk about how much of a mess animating for "Quest for a Plot" was.

Warner Bros. really said "Okay, we got a cool camelot movie, but we're worried that it's not Disney enough, so DISNEY THE HELL OUT OF IT."

Man, this movie managed to hit all the beats of the Disney Renaissance in the most awkward way possible. It's a damn shame too, because the premise of the daughter of the late Sir Lionel teaming up with the blind squire he once mentored to stop a renegade knight of the round table from sacking Camelot is a really cool one.

It's far from a perfect film, but I can't help but love it. It's fun to watch, it makes me happy. And even if our protagonist feels lacking to many, Kaylee was my idol when I was a little girl. I only ever had the movie because my grandma found it in a cheap DVD bin and thought Kaylee looked like me. This movie is always going to hold a special place in my heart. I used to sing "On My Father's Wings" for my dad on Father's Day, and it brought him to tears every time. Even if the bulk of my love comes from nostalgia, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's flawed, but it's charming and entertaining, and that shows in how many people have endeared it to themselves.

Wait I remember this!!! I thought it was a fever dream?? I swear I just remembered the part where they combine people and objects in a pit and nothing else so I thought it was a weird dream Im so glad its real lmao

Ruber during the round table scene gives off major "Your custom character in the game cutscene" energy.

"The ogre's butt..."

Aw hell yeah!! I freakin still love this movie no matter the flaws. And the music is what sells it for me. “Lookin Through Your Eyes”, “The Prayer”, “If I Didn’t Have You”, and “I Stand Alone” by Steve Perry hold special places in my heart.

I just found some early concept art, and Holy Crap. The difference between 1995 Lynette and 1998 Kaylee is astounding. There is so much personality and character in those early drawings. Lynette's face is more mature, less soft. Her eyes are larger, like Crysta in "Ferngully." She looks like a character who could actually kick someone's ass. Not at all like the generic Barbie doll that is Kaylee.

Forgive me for nitpick. Instead of talking about being a knight, Kaylee should've shown action. Have her train as a knight growing up while her mother is against her daughter being one. The scenario is done many times, but it can still work.

If I recall, yeah - him going blind from a horse kick is pretty accurate, both with how strong a horse is and how 'fragile' the brain is, so to speak. I reckon they didn't show further damage like a broken skull or mashed up face for censorship reasons or to save time/effort. Either way, I love this movie, it's so goofy

The one thing I never liked about this film is that the gryphon wasn't given a name. Ruber gave the _experimental chicken-axe_ a name, but never bothered to name what's presumably a lifelong companion. They could have given him an extra-intimidating name to further offset that adorable little voice, but noOoOo.... (Also, for those who don't know, the Sunny & Cher song Devon and Cornwall lyric-drop while cosplaying the duo is "I got you Babe", better known as the song that kicks off every single morning in the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day!)

Ruber would've been cool if they hadn't made him so over the top evil. Not the funny over the top evil like Rasputin, but the "look how evil I am" over the top like Drake from "The Pebble and The Penguin".

After rewatching this on KZfaq, I had musical whiplash in the beginning. They jammed about 5 songs in the first 30 minutes. One song right after the other. However, “I Stand Alone” will always have a place in my heart and be the reason I come back to this movie. Randy Woodman did that song justice.

I loved this movie when I was little, despite its flaws. The casting and story is great and the griffin is without a doubt my favourite character.

I like that the magic didn’t need to “fix” Garret. He had been blind for so long that he had grown used to it and his blindness wasn’t a weakness. He could fight to protect what he needed to without seeing, his lack of sight didn’t affect his ability to fully live his life.

I remember there was a point sometime in 1999 where I was absolutely infatuated with "Quest for Camelot" (or as its known where I am, "The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot"). I'd watch our newly-acquired VHS of the film over and over and at one point, I found out that my local cinema were showing the film as a Saturday morning "Movies for Juniors" screening (kids films, animated or otherwise, would end up in that timeslot at the cinema long after their original theatrical runs were done by at least half-a-year up to a few years). I was so pumped to see the film at our local cinema that when we came back? I put our VHS copy on to rewatch all over again. x) Not to mention the few sleepless nights where in an attempt to pacify me, I'd watch our VHS copy way later into the night than I should be... ...and the real kicker? Sure, I was indeed a child then but...I'm British. This glossy, American film that's wildly loose with its story origins in British folklore hit me at the right time and as someone raised by Renissaunce-era Disney, I ate that up so hard. xD Juuuust a pity about the R word used in the film that I found when I revisited, that's featured here...and the fact the staff of the animation studio were worked to the bone because of predictably desperate and bad exec meddling. Oh well, it was fun see you two take a revisit to this anyhoo~

Oh i watched that movie when I was young and it was pretty fun for me back then. It still is pretty nostalgic watching it after these years^^

Ruber's face when you pause at 24:20 got me wheezing so very hard that I couldn't breathe. And I'm still doing it Of all the parts that made me wheeze and laugh through this video, this face got me.

I absolutely love this movie. My love comes from nostalgia mostly, knowing that this film is far from good, but I still see a lot of value in it. - For example, nobody mentions how cool the world design is in this version of the Arthurian legend. It looks rustic and kind of mysterious, with it's Stonehenge-like, crude buildings and misty atmosphere. - The Excalibur looks frickin' gorgeous!! I have not seen such an elegant concept for the look of the weapon. All the other designs for this weapon in pop culture are all too fancy looking or just too boring. This one hits the right spot, at least in my opinion. - The story is mostly bland and predictable, but there are some really neat things there that I appreciate. How the shared arc of the blind man and the naive girl prove the concept of Arthur's vision about unity against the fierce competence of a selfish individual. Ruber is stronger, has more men, has more power, but still cannot combat the united effort of those two. While Ruber shapes the world around himself he forces his will on others and cannot learn from his blunders throughout the movie. Kayley and Garrett however learn from each other, shape each other willingly and become better people through collaboration (the romantic thread was unnecessary though). - The story arc of the chicken...yes the metal chicken was to show how even cowardly people would want to eventually rise against the tyranny of their opressors, the kind of tyranny Ruber represents. - Ruber is just such a nice villain. He is the kind of mad, nonsenical villain that fits animation so well... Plus Gary Oldman... Plus he's also secretly a Jojo character. THANK YOU for watching this. Brightened my day. While I love this movie, I know it's not very good. Still. I'd watch it again and again. My love for all things medieval probably comes from this.

The red-head: You were very close, Saber. "Red Hot Riding Hood" (1943; MGM) directed by Tex Avery.

This was as underappreciated classic of my childhood! The animation was amazing and the songs were top notch!

I loved this movie so much... Is that bad, it was nice to have a female main character and the Gifford character really made it for me

Ruber is such a fun, bad guy. My mom loved how even his finger nails were fucked up.

This was my favorite movie as a small child. Not even a guilty pleasure, I genuinely love this movie.

Damn Saber was super out of pocket this reaction lol

I saw this in theatres as a kid. They really thought this was gonna be the new hotness. Tons of merch and ads and stuff. And yes, mini me absolutely loved it.

Genuinely love this movie. The music… the setting… and Kayley was my first cartoon crush!

Ruber is the best thing of this movie. I love his twitches and ticks. I want more villains like him

Can't really make fun of them. Those medieval people are definitely happier and having a fun time more than any of us modern people.

This movie had it's big award-bait end credits song performed by none other than Steve Perry, the former lead singer of Journey. If nothing else, his vocals are AMAZING.

Alternate title: Saberspark laughing his shit at frames

I love this movie. I know it sorta killed WB's animated films and crippled Iron Giant's success(My personal favorite animated film) but man, this was my introduction to King Arthur's legacy. Think of this is an odd DnD campaign or how cool it would've been if the concepts involved were formed by studio gibli. Also glad you noticed the continuity error at 11:26

Lauren Faust of MLP: FiM fame worked on this. I always hated that the dragons chose to get back together. THEY WERE FREE. THEY WERE FREE FROM EACH OTHER.

I know this movie was average at most but It's one of my guilty pleasures. Even now, I remember most of the songs (in my language tho). And my fav character was the griffin. Rupert was a great villain as well, unapologetically insanely evil So glad to see a lets' watch of it! Edit: mispellings

I watched this long before anyone reviewed it and I loved it. It’s nice to watch things that try to be Disney. They’re still fun and magical in their own way.

I love this movie it's like the sequel of The Sword of The Stone 😁

She’s getting married. What does that have anything to do with her being a heroic person? You guys are acting like she lost all her heroism from getting married

Ah Ruber, you are a critically under appreciated villain.. you will always have a seat at the evil alliance in my heart.

Ah yes, a childhood movie of mine. Even as a child I found Ruber imposing yet an amazing villain and Garret quite inspirational by having so much confidence despite his disability and still not making him perfect either, he is just a grumpy hermit of the forest but man he can flex in his forest Fun fact: in the Castilian Spanish dub the VA of Ruber chosed the chaotic option cuz he sounds even more unhinged and feral than the original and I live for that

A lot of my polish relatives had these movies. They make me know they weren’t a fever dream seeing them again.

I always thought King Arthur in this movie looked like a 2D version of Obi-Wan Kenobi from the clone wars TV show

If you guys are interested, theres this show i recall called Animalia. Its based a book i guess, while the 3d animation is quite dated, it actually has a pretty decent plot, with fun characters and moments.

Gary oldman was a delight in this movie. Always love it when he decided to just eat the scenery.

Omg this just dug the nostalgia out of me I watched this movie like hundreds of times when I was a kid

I swear this is unlocking some one memories of this movie I didn't remember seeing

One of my guilty pleasures. Can never get tired of watching it for it's animation, world building, unique creatures, unforgettable songs, Garrett, Ruber, Devon and Cornwall etc. Sure the story and some of the characters aren't good, but the materials are right there for them to work. That's why I'm so willing to see an animated remake, many of it's issues could be fixed while keeping it's strenghts.

i was hoping you'd be watching this one! :D

This film was my childhood. Will forever remain one of my favourite animated films

23:27-24:46 This whole entire moment killed me! 😂😂😂😂

People dont understand that rubers song isnt bad, it reflects his insanity well, as the song is hardly pulling itself together

Love this movie

This was my favorite movie as a child!!! I'm so happy to see ya'll watching this!

8:00 The Gryphon thing saying "precisely" with the green glowing aura in the background is reminiscent of Scar just before singing Be Prepared.

I grew up loving this movie and the griffin is my favorite monster

that movie was a fever dream

Had this movie on freaking VHS as a kid and loved it. Looking back on it, yeah, this movie is an absolute *mess* story and characterwise. But I can't help but appreciate it, despite its flaws. Ruber is also a suprisingly entertaining villain. Though how much of that is due to the writting and animation or just Gary Oldman's wild performance is up for debate.

Am I the only one that enjoys Rishi’s laugh in addition to the content these two produce?

R.I.P. Mr. Potato head you are sorely missed

I watched this during an outing with my Big Brother as a kid. We also baked cookies and I wondered why we had to space the dough out instead of leaving them together and making a giant supercookie. We tested this hypothesis.

The way they animated Ruber was so perfect. The eye twitches, the lazy eye rolling a bit. His gaze always seeming distant, the overgrown fingernails, the cocky strut, then even at his death he's chuckling as he dies. They animated a perfect psychopath. There is no "Oh he's just misunderstood". No everything they do tells you there's something not right about him.

Ooo blast from the past. I loved this movie

This was the first DVD I ever owed! It has a very special place in my heart and despite its flaws, I love it so much. It's my guilty childhood pleasure.

This movie is my guilty pleasure. But guilty pleasures are always the best!!! I love this movie soooo much!!! Number 1 in my book! And Garrett...OH MY LORD! He was (and still is!) my very, very, very first animated crush! I am such a simp for that beautiful, blind, staff wielding man!

Gotta say, the italian dub made the movie more enjoyable for me.

Favourite movie of all time as a kid, I'll never get sick of it

I loved this movie growing up. I watched it so many times sometimes just for the music! Loved singing along with this movie 😊

This was legit or of my favourite childhood movies! Still have a super soft spot for the music and everything!

I loved this movie as a kid and still love it now.

I LOVED this movie as a kid!!!! Thank you so much for covering it dude!

I just realized Ruber's song uses the same sinister green glow from the floor as Scar's "Be Prepared".

"The falcon fucks this guy up." Proving his chops before he got into the Marvel movies. Okay, but seriously, a peregrine falcon's dive-bombing strategy lets them go up to 200 MPH and they've evolved to not be harmed by the force of the impact, so I totally buy a falcon being a serious nuisance for even a griffin.

I grew up on this film, I could never hate it

I remember watching the heck out of this movie as a kid, I don't know why but even today I would watch this again if the dvd I have of this movie wasn't scratched up! 😂

As for me, Ruber is a classic lord of chaos from Warhammer: a crazy nut who rose to power only due to his charisma, aggression, cruelty and strength. Similarly, the Chaosians control a crowd of beggars, robbers and maniacs, only transforms them into a fantasy version of the necrons.

Loved this film growing up

I *LOVE* this movie.

I really enjoyed this movie, despite its flaws. Of course ANYTHING with Cary Elwes gets my attention because I had such a big crush on him at the time. What shocked me was seeing that Jaleel White voiced Bladebeek in here lol.

6:57 Ruber's villain song is one of my favorite parts of this movie.

I watched this growing up!! It never gets old. Maybe a couple songs but otherwise it is great!!

Reading through the book this is adapted from, and... Oh lord the differences have me screaming. Vera Chapman, you deserved better.

Ooh, I loved this Movie as a child!

I LOVE this movie! My childhood right here

I used to watch this so much as a kid, but i forgot its name, so glad to be reminded so i can watch again!

I used to love this movie as a kid. Its still my current guilty pleasure movie lol.

Precisely! :P (I wish someone finally made a meme out of that Gryphon, he was so cute) Love this movie, btw.

As someone who got to visit one of the animation studios that had a huge hand in this movie. The big thing that made the characters really cool was the animators commissioned for some 3d models to be printed out for the animators to have a reference model to work from. A lot of the objects (not all of them) in the movie were at some point a 3d model and used as references for the animators. The some of the main cast of characters seen in the movie were printed out and it was so fun to learn so much.

I've never clicked on a video so fast when it appeared in my feed. This is a guilty pleasure of mine.
