One of the many non-Disney animated features that gained traction in the Aughts due to it being, well, not Disney. Quest for Camelot takes Arthurian legend and certainly does Something to it. Here you won’t find the traditional young Arthur finding his way or Merlin casting spells. Instead, the viewpoint swings to the daughter of a round table knight, who vows to take his place once her pops dies in battle. Usual animated movie shenanigans ensue, including throwing big-name actors into the voice cast like Gary Oldman playing bad guy Lord Ruber, Eric Idle and Don Rickles as an occasionally funny two-headed dragon, and Cary Elwes in the love interest role. Special mention to the singing voice cast, which boasts Celine Dion and Journey’s Steve Perry. – James Scott
