Camelot has never been more atrociously depicted

It is easy to see why the animations of Dingo Pictures are relatively obscure, though those who have had the misfortune of seeing any of their output (which along with their equally low-budget computer animated counterpart Video Brinquedo have not once made anything worthwhile) but cannot forget their awfulness.

As was said before, it is hard to know where to start when there are no redeeming qualities whatsoever, say what you will about 'Quest for Camelot' but even with its glaring problems it actually has things that salvage it to something watchable. 

The animation is, as ever with Dingo Pictures, some of the worst there is, even for low-budget animation, the flat colours, very simplistic backgrounds and lack of detail and derivative, shoddy, recycled (some lifted directly out of previous Dingo Pictures efforts) and creepy character animation as well as a style that makes art of primary school children who draw and paint in half an hour or less seem more accomplished.

Music always sounds misplaced and never fitting with what's going on, not to mention that it has little breathing space even in scenes that are in dire need for it. The script is incredibly repetitive and juvenile, that it will insult any adult is bad enough but even young children will feel dumber after hearing some of the dialogue here.

Even for something that is not that long at all in length, 'Sword of Camelot' feels stretched. It also has incredibly plodding pacing, is very disjointed, goes nowhere a lot of the time and is so jumpy it's almost incomprehensible.

Characters are excruciatingly irritating and a few irrelevant to the story, such as a very poorly drawn dinosaur. Not a likable or interesting character among them (with bland heroes and a main villain that's both forgettable and over the top).

Meanwhile, the sound effects are bizarre and randomly placed and the voice acting is amateurish to the point of not even trying even by low-budget animation standards, often being annoying, poorly recorded, creepy-sounding and incomprehensible and even ill-fitting.

In summary, really awful and by far the worst version of the Arthurian/Camelot story. 1/10 Bethany Cox

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

Animation is a form of visual storytelling that involves creating visual art and motion through the use of various techniques and technologies. In animation, images are manipulated to create the illusion of movement, bringing characters, objects, and environments to life. Animation can encompass a wide range of styles, themes, and intended audiences, making it a diverse and versatile form of storytelling.

The fantasy genre features imaginative and often magical worlds, characters, and events. It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

A short time after young Artus was crowned king of England, he orders the best and most courageous knights of the country to the legendary castle Camelot. Together with Merlin, the most famous magician of the time, they decide to search the holy kraal, a bowl that has magic power. The black knight is also haunting the kraal. But he has to steal king Artus sword Excalibur if he wants to succeed. Because only the person who is in possession of this sword is strong enough to get the kraal. The black knight plans to kill king Artus. But he does not count on the knights of the round table, that's what the friends of king Artus call themselves. For them no adventure is too dangerous and no danger too excessive, to protect their king.
