I'd been wanting to watch this movie for a while now because I'd read mixed reviews on it. I finally found it really cheap at Wal-Mart as a two pack with "Cats Don't Dance". I'm glad I didn't spend much on it, that's for sure.

Mediocre sums everything about this movie up rather nicely.
The story, which is very predictable by the way, follows Kayley on her journey to Camelot, which she's always longed to visit. It tells of how she saves the kingdom by finding Excalibur, which was stolen by Ruber because he wants to be king. The most interesting plot twist, and pretty much the only one, was when Ruber turned his minions into living weapons. That was different, although how he went about it was kind of cheesy.

The characters were bland, like the story, and some were just downright annoying. Throughout the whole movie I stayed only partially interested in what was going on. Kayley was boring. Her whole goal is to become a knight like her late father. The two headed dragon, supposed to be funny, was just annoying. The humor is forced and doesn't work. King Arthur annoyed me in that he was such a wuss throughout the whole film. Right, the great King Arthur who fought and won many battles needs to be rescued by a teenage girl and a blind hermit. Oh and a bumbling two headed dragon. The hermit, Garrett, was the only character I actually liked. Probably because he was the most interesting, mostly because he was blind and had a little bit of a back story.

The animation is close to the quality you'd see on a Saturday morning cartoon. At times the characters don't move smoothly or they move stiffly and in an unnatural way. The 3-D animation clashes horribly in this movie. In some movies it works but in this one it just didn't. For instance a really detailed rock troll attacks the characters, it moved smoothly and was animated rather well, but the 2-D characters are so simple that it doesn't fit.

The songs are bad, well maybe not entirely bad but they don't fit in the movie very well. It really annoyed me that Garrett's singing voice sounds nothing like his speaking voice. The score is ok, in some scenes it was quite good and in others just so-so.

I'm surprised this wasn't a direct to video release really. It's definitely not the worst movie ever, but it's not one I think I'd watch again at least not for a very long time.
