#camelot the legend

I cracked the code

of King Arthur cheap animated movies! I think these should be the correct names/dates/covers.

First of all:

The top one called "König Arthur und die Ritter von Camelot" which has a very similar image for "Quest for Camelot"?

This is just used sometimes at random, but it usually refers to that image that says "Merlin" (circled in blue).

Both those covers all refer to this 1998 animated movie called "Camelot" which is about young Arthur being mentored by Merlin and then going on adventures with Cynthia, Merlin's apprentice, and finally becoming king. How do I know? I bought that "König Arthur und die Ritter von Camelot" on amazon, and it was the same as "Camelot 1998", which has the same cover as that "Merlin" cartoon. This movie is also sometimes identified as from 2008, but no Camelot movie exists from 2008.

This is the imdb page.

Let's continue.

Now, I said that the first picture is sometimes ambiguous, why?

Well, it is sometimes used with a different title and for another movie from 1998 called "The Sword of Camelot" by Dingo pictures. This movie is an ABOMINATION. It is this one. It is basically Merlin narrating in live action and some animation in between (mainly Arthur, Mordred, the holy grail). Mordred is definitely drawn in anti semitic way, and in general the whole animation is atrocious.

Here are the covers you can see if you are looking for this movie:

Keep in mind the art used in these covers looks NOTHING like what is in the movie. Furthermore the covers have events and characters that have nothing to do with the movie at all (the two kids with the dragon? no those are not in the movie).

This movie seems to simply steal other movies' covers. So be careful. If you see a translation of "The sword of Camelot" it is this abomination. Why using this title with random art? Well, that is the German title for the much more popular "Quest for Camelot" and the art was often used as a way to clearly trick people into thinking it would be something similar to that.

This is the imdb page.

Let's move to the next one. In 1998 there were two other animated movies about King Arthur.

One is "Camelot, 1998" which is probably the best one in the lot. It is a musical animated movie that follows the life of Arthur from his teen years to his death. This is the imbd page.

The covers for this one are pretty consistent and always use this picture:

The second 1998 movie is called "Camelot: The legend" and is a bit more goofy. It has an adult Arthur travelling to a council with Guinevere and Mordred, and meeting Lancelot. Mordred is the classic villain.

The covers are similar to the previous movie, but usually less cartoony:

To conclude, the animated king Arthur movies are only these (I highlighted the ones I talked about in this post):

Camelot sketches (I’ll probably add more in the future)

[sticksandsharks]

Some illustrations I made in collaboration with @magnoliapearl for the Cards of Camelot deck! Magnolia was the heart and mind behind this project; I was but a humble labourer getting to illustrate her wonderful interpretations and designs.

Merlin, Morgan La Fey, Arthur and Mordred.

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."

march to camelot #1: quest

[thefirstwormonyourcorpse]

"his life is worth a thousand of mine" sounds like a line from a tragic romance, classic novel that puts others like it to shame.

and yet, it is literally from bbc merlin, a show about a magic servant that tries to sacrifice himself for the life of his prince everyday.

but tbh, king arthur and merlin are a tale of tragic romance and a classic novel.

Limiting the choice to the shows and movies I have seen/know of. I'm not asking who the first actor you have seem playing Arthur was, rather the one you instinctively think about when someone mentions him or the one closest to your heart.

im not a fan of modern merthur but the idea of them meeting in modern times and introducing themselves to each other and them laughing and bonding over their names being connected to the myth of king arthur and camelot is just so cute

Say hello to Arthur!

In this portrait, I wanted him to be A young adult trying to rule Camelot and bring about his ideals! I imagine Arthur, at least in his younger years, as fairly naive, idealistic, and very earnest. He isn’t always completely innocent in the myths, but he generally has good intentions and tries to do the right thing. He also carries the heavy weight of ruling a kingdom, and all hopes are rested on his shoulders. I hope I was able to bring some of that across in this portrait and design of him.

mordred through time (movies, tv shows, opera and musicals) - missing Mordreds I forgot to add!

This is from "Camelot: The Legend" (1998), where Mordred is Arthur's illegitimate son (though a spell) and he plots against him.

If you want to look at the complete list:

Part 1: From 1949 to 1981 -> here Part 2: From 1982 to 2002 -> here Part 3: From 2002 to 2010 -> here Part 4: From 2014 to 2017 -> here Part 5: From 2018 to 2024 -> here

if arthur had survived camlann do you think there was ever a moment while watching merlin do magic that he was suddenly struck by a bone crushing sense of guilt following the realisation that thousands of people had died and his own best friend lived in fear for decades regularly wondering if arthur would kill him if he knew about his magic, and all of it happened because arthur had been born?
