Quest for Camelot (1998)
An adventurous girl, a young blind hermit and a goofy two-headed dragon race to find the lost sword Excalibur and save King Arthur in the 1998 classic Quest for Camelot.
Nominated for an Oscar and winner of a Golden Globe for Best Original Song, it features the voices of Glee star Jessalyn Gilsig and Princess Bride dreamboat Cary Elwes, as well as Gary Oldman, Eric Idle, Jane Seymour, Pierce Brosnan, Gabriel Byrne and John Gielgud, with songs by the likes of LeAnn Rimes and Celine Dion.
Variety calls it “a lightweight but likeable fantasy that offers a playfully feminine twist to Arthurian legends.”
