Line 2: [[File:Quest_for_Camelot_Resize_8097.jpg\|frame]] '''''Quest for Camelot''''' (also known as ''[[Is That What They're Calling It Now?\|The Magic Sword]]'') is an animated film released by [[Warner Bros]] Animation in 1998. It was generally disliked by audiences, but did receive several award nominations for its soundtrack (composed by Patrick Doyle, with songs written by David Foster), which won a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for "[[Award Bait Song\|The Prayer]]." As with most [[Follow the Leader]] animated features of the decade (the leader being [[Disney]]), it had a big-name voice cast, including [[Harry Potter\|Gary]] [[The Dark Knight\|Oldman]] as the villain, Ruber; [[The Princess Bride (film)\|Cary Elwes]] as the male lead, Garret; [[Pierce Brosnan]] as [[King Arthur]]; Sir John Gielgud as Merlin; [[Live and Let Die (film)\|Jane Seymour]] as the female lead Kayley's mother, Lady Juliana; and [[Monty Python\|Eric Idle]] and [[Toy Story (franchise)\|\|Don Rickles]] as a two-headed dragon with the names Devon and Cornwall. The songs also got a pretty impressive cast of singers like [[Celine Dion]], [[The Corrs]] and Bryan White. The film is ''very'' loosely based on a book by Vera Chapman called ''The King's Damosel'' (AKA ''The King's Damsel''), inspired by [[King Arthur\|Arthurian]] lore. The story was made more [[Executive Meddling\|'family friendly']] during production by the additions of songs and cute animal friends; these concessions to the [[Animation Age Ghetto]] were some of the main criticisms leveled at the film when it was released. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Actor Allusion]]: Possibly unintentional, but Gary Oldman's character Ruber (an [[Obviously Evil\|obvious villain]]) is very similar to [[Lost in Space\|Dr. Smith]], another obvious villain played by Oldman. It helps that both films came out in the same year.

[[Lauren Faust]] (who worked on the movie) has even [http://www.donbluthanimation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1619 commented]{{Dead link}} on the similarity, going even further and saying Garret looks like the human form of the Beast. * [["Falling in Love" Montage]]: Kayley and Garret, during their "''Looking Through Your Eyes''" duo. * [[Faux Action Girl]]: Kayley. She did have a moment or two, but she mostly wasn't much of a fighter.
