Terrible dialogue, terrible plot, terrible character development. Animation is absolute trash. If you like absolute nonsense and a movie for in the background, this is it

I absolutely loved this as a child, and would watch it all the time. It's light, with deep moments, but also a really good story. Some might call it childish, but hey it's for kids. Soundtrack is dope. Characters were easily relatable for baby-me, well developed in the movie. A go-to when I want to relive the late nineties or that childhood innoncence! Have so many good things to say about this movie!

While reading certain comments for this movie, I've come across a similar theme as with other animated films. It gets picked apart for lack of character depth and so-so animation,etc,etc. However they all come to the same conclusion that kids will probably like it. OK...is that not the point with 90% of ALL animated films whether they be hand drawn or CGI, let's get down to it- they're cartoons!! They ARE for kids. As for this movie , I have yet to meet a child under 12 who didn't like it. As a parent I thought it was pretty good. Not quite up to speed with most Disney movies, but it didn't drive me from the room or make me want to force my kids to turn it off. For a cartoon I'd give it a 7/10.

A very welcome relief from the Disney wizard and doom flicks. Even the historical license can't drag down this super swords, dragons and quests flick for kids. The songs are really good and my little one wanted Cornwal and Dover fives times over. The film itself has a great tempo and is full of ideas - the forbidden forest is a reel of imagination. It doesn't get very dark so suitable for three years up and plenty of good stuff (Gary Oldman, Eric Idle) for adults who want to be entertained. To address the high priests of fantasy animation criticism I would say * the quality is fine * Don't pay full price * It is a film to enjoy not to deconstruct * This is much more fun in this than in the Black cauldron, Sword in the stone and Fantasia all together * Collectors stay away, get a life.

I have DVD's of both 'Sword in the Stone' and 'Quest for Camelot'. They are different films by different producers. Both are decent family films in my opinion. My 6-six old watched it once it a while and enjoyed it every time. I got to watch glimpses of it over time but finally watched it from start to finish, once. Despite its shortcomings, I find it to be an enjoyable animation film. You either like the sound track or you don't. But the animation is watchable and there are moments of tenderness, sadness, humour and hope. Ignore the fact it does not come from Disney. Put aside your bias from negative reviews. The 1.5 hours will go pretty fast.

It's the love for details, that makes this film worth seeing: all those little creatures, hairy eyes, scary claws of plants and things, that create a fairy world. I would have really enjoyed the atmosphere, if the constant musical intermezzos wouldn't have spoiled a good deal of it. (Though I laughed out loud when the two headed dragon turned "Sonny and Cher" :-)

The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot is an example of a Disney rip-off, but the animation is good, and the CGI, well, it needs a little improving. And the characters' design are alright but Ruber's henchmen have some impressive designs. Since, this film did have references from other Disney animated films like "Aladdin", "The Lion King", and even "Beauty and the Beast". But still other films that aren't Disney related still got references from are "Godzilla", and "Dirty Harry". The film's humour needs a little touching up. Plus, Ruber makes a good villain, but his insanity is way off. The film's plot somehow comes off track at times, and that's how it flopped at the box-office. But on the bright side, "The Prayer" is nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. So in conclusion, The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot is not a bad film, but it's an Okay film. I mean, the filmmakers did their effort of making the film. I'm giving this film 5/10
