	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Philip Thomas 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? (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Peter Stack SFGATE	"A spirited adventure with generous romantic and comic charms."	POS
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"'Quest for Camelot' is easy to sit through and reasonably entertaining. Certainly it should satisfy its target audience. But Warner really needs to journey more boldly toward a personality of its own and offer a real alternative."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"The animation isn't vivid, the characters aren't very interesting, and the songs are routine. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A lightweight but likable fantasy that offers a playfully feminist twist to Arthurian legends."	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"Those who are more discriminating than the average 9 year-old will discover that The Quest for Camelot rapidly grows tiresome. Any adult on a search for the holy grail of animated pictures is advised to keep looking. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The movie offers a grab bag of oddball characters who seem unfocused, and its visual rhythms are jerky and spasmodic."	NEG
