Quest for Camelot

In the legendary land of Camelot, a young woman named Kayley dreams of following her late father into the ranks of the Knights of the Round Table. She is brave, stubborn, and endlessly curious, determined to prove that a heroine can belong among the realm’s champions. When the power hungry Ruber schemes to seize Camelot and take the throne, Kayley decides to stand against him. She sets out on a dangerous quest, gathering a motley group of allies along the way. The trek tests her resolve and redefines what courage means in a world built on legends and loyalty.

Released in 1998 and directed by Frederik Du Chau, Quest for Camelot weaves Arthurian fantasy with musical sequences. The project draws on ideas from Stephan Franck, Vera Chapman, and William Schifrin, presenting a colorful late 90s animation style.

Worldwide gross was about 38.2 million dollars against a 40 million budget, making it a modest performer rather than a blockbuster for its era.

Quest for Camelot left a small footprint among late 90s animated fantasies. Its bright color palette and musical numbers reflect the period, and Kayley s determination stands as a reminder that heroines can lead the action as much as the heroes.

Critics gave mixed assessments, praising visuals and voice performances while noting pacing drawbacks. The film asks questions about courage, family, and trust, and shows Kayley choosing to pursue honor on her own terms, proving that a young heroine can drive a quest as much as a sword.
