| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Quest for Camelot |
|---|
Kayley (Jessalyn Gilsig) is a young girl who lives in the time of King Arthur's Camelot. She admires the knights of the round table and wishes to join them one day. When Excalibur is stolen she has to leave her home and help find it before Ruber, voiced by Gary Oldman, finds it and uses it to destroy Camelot.
Along the way she meets up with a blind hermit named Garrett (Cary Elwes), who teaches her the ways of the forest and how to depend on all of her senses instead of just her eyes, and a two headed bickering dragon, Devon and Cornwall (Eric Idle and Don Rickles) and finds out what valor and courage is all about.
Ruber has a few tricks up his sleeves and somehow merges his henchmen with weapons to make fighting machines. He finds Excalibur and merges with it, which brings up a whole new problem for Kayley. Now she has to find a way to separate the two and get the sword back to King Arthur.
