Empire
The movie as a whole - an undeserved flop in the US - is energetic, pacey and funny with tons of great fights. What more could any six-year-old want? - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
A spirited adventure with generous romantic and comic charms. - 75
San Francisco Examiner
It isn't as charming as "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Little Mermaid" (especially musically), but it's an easy-to-swallow entertainment. - 60
Variety
A lightweight but likable fantasy that offers a playfully feminist twist to Arthurian legends. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Although the film starts off a bit slowly, things pick up as the two heroes venture into the mysterious forest in search of Excalibur. There the images start twisting themselves into wacky animated fun. But still, events are interrupted by way too much singing, a prospect not helped much by the caliber of the instantly forgettable tunes composed by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
The animation isn't vivid, the characters aren't very interesting, and the songs are routine. - 50
The New York Times
The movie offers a grab bag of oddball characters who seem unfocused, and its visual rhythms are jerky and spasmodic. - 50
ReelViews
Those who are more discriminating than the average 9 year-old will discover that The Quest for Camelot rapidly grows tiresome. Consequently, any adult on a search for the holy grail of animated pictures is advised to keep looking.
