this movie
quest for camelot
the premise
i sometimes call this movie the unofficial sequel to sword in the stone, but that’s not really what it is. anyway. there’s this knight of the round table that’s mean and selfish and wants badly to be king himself. see if you can spot him in the opening scene, hint: he’s the ugly one and so this guy tries to attack arthur but fails to make anything come of it. one of the other knights dies in the process of protecting arthur. ten years later, evil (ex)knight dude sends one of his minions (friend? sidekick? anyway) to go steal excalibur, badly wounding arthur in the process. evil dude does NOT get excalibur at this point in time, it gets lost in a forest on the way back. needless to say he’s mad. arthur sends his knights out to go find the sword, and zoom out to the countryside where the wife and daughter of the knight that died ten years ago live. the daughter, kayley, wants to go find excalibur and return it to arthur and become a knight herself. thus commences adventures.
the characters
kayley. oh kayley.
- i love kayley. she’s amazing
- actually 18 years old, so not like a fifteen year old going on a wild adventure
- smart, very ambitious, pretty
- loves her father
- “But I want to be a knight. Going on grand adventures, fighting evil, rescuing damsels in distress. What is a damsel, anyway?”
- has no desire to be feminine herself, but doesn’t devalue it
garrett
- cary elwes
- SARCASTIC SASSY LITTLE SHIT
- no really this guy is a little motherfucking bitch
- emo
- i love him
- blind, but he’s never treated as lesser for it, and its shown as useful in one scene
- a solitary dude, but very lovable
ruber
- the villian

other snippets
- steve parry sings as arthur
- villain attacks kayley and her family but like it actually makes sense. they know each other it’s not just random fate like stories usually are
- the ending is wonderful, like im not gonna tell you but the way the villain is defeated and what happens after is just. 10/10
