Trivia:
Was originally intended to be darker and more faithful in tone to the original book, however, more songs, characters and family-friendly gags were added to tone down the content. more
Goofs:
Continuity: When Kayley and Garret are standing by the acid lake, deciding whether or not it's safe, Garret dips just the end of his walking stick into the lake, but when he pulls it out, almost half is gone and the end of what remains is charred black. In the next shot, the entire walking stick is complete and unharmed. more
Quotes:
King Arthur: Is there any news? Have the knights found Excalibur?
Merlin: I'm afraid not, sire.
King Arthur: Then I'll go after it myself.
Merlin: No. You must regain your strength.
King Arthur: Is there anything your magic can do?
Merlin: You must rely on the courage of your people.

A very,VERY good Arthurian movie, 18 September 2007
10/10
Author: Julia Arsenault (ja_kitty_71) from Canada

I was shocked,surprised and flabbergasted by the negative reviews I would see on the web, I thought that this film a very,VERY good Arthurian movie along with Walt Disney's classic "The Sword in The Stone", and the MGM live-action classic "Knights of the Round Table" with Robert Taylor & Ava Gardner and the musical "Camelot" starring Richard Harris & Vanessa Redgrave.

This film has everything: a very good story and excellent music; and that's one thing I love in a movie is a very good soundtrack; and an excellent voice casting too. I love Kayley (you go Girl!), and her desire to carry on the tradition of her father in the excellent song On My Father's Wings was a great scene in the film. I also love song "The Prayer" too; the song became popular among artists like the Celtic Woman (I don't understand why a popular song would come from a film that people thought it's awful).
