Joshua Sumter and the Ironheart

My self-insert crossover parody retelling/reimagining of The Princess and the Frog (2009)

Short summary/premise: An autistic young man learns a lesson in love when a fateful kiss with a fairy sends him on a mystical yet familiar modern twist adventure, setting off a hilarious chain of events. It's like "The Princess and the Frog" meets "The Emperor's New Groove" with a hint of "Brother Bear." Synopsis: Think you know the story of Disney's The Princess and the Frog? Imagine a crossover parody retelling of the original 2009 animated hit where an autistic young boy, who once had it all and lived a single life, learns a lesson in love when he meets a fairy, and a fateful kiss sets off a hilarious chain of events that turns things upside down. Set in an alternate universe and its story based on 2009's The Princess and the Frog, young and autistic Joshua Sumter (Me) had everything he needed for living his best yet awesome single life. After all, romance would be the last thing on his mind as he makes his own moves, doing his own things, hanging out with friends, all that jazz. Things seem to be going well until Nadia Van Dyne (Wasp) comes to town, prompting Joshua's friend Lewis (Meet the Robinsons) to throw a huge, epic party for her. During the party, Joshua slipped away to be alone for a while…and this puts him into contact with Nadia Van Dyne and her friend, Riri Williams (Ironheart), who are in quite of a pickle. Nadia and Riri (with maidservant valet, Ms. Grunion (Mr. Peabody & Sherman), in tow) came to town in search of fun and adventure, but unfortunately, their arrival caught the attention of witty voodoo slick talker Frederique "Freddie" Facilier (Descendants: Wicked World). During the very day Nadia was to meet Lewis, Freddie Facilier put her scheme into action by luring the two girls and Ms. Grunion into her voodoo lair, where she turned Riri into a fairy and trapped her and Nadia in a jar while changing Ms. Grunion into the spitting image of Nadia. Then, she'll sit back and watch the chaos ensues…all part of a plan to take down Lewis's family and steal the family fortune. But there was a thing, or two Freddie did not anticipate -- Joshua being the wild card and a strange allegiance that'll undercut her plans when he meets Nadia and Riri. Soon, a fateful kiss with a fairy has change everything in Joshua's life, turning it into a familiar modern twist as his plans took a detour. Not only that, but Riri's and Nadia’s chance to get back home and outwit Freddie Facilier's plans of voodoo madness rest on his shoulders. Left with no choice and having a hard time cooperating, Joshua is convinced by Nadia to help them and bond with Riri, forcing them into an unlikely alliance. Now they must overcome their differences to deal with hair-raising dangers, crazy and wild comic predicaments, and even each other until they learn some valuable life lessons, including the meaning of trust and true love, as they embark on a groovy adventure to seek the magnificent Merlin (The Sword in the Stone) to undo the spell. While having difficulties and obstacles in their lives, they are being by joined by Kamala Khan, Doreen Green with Tippy Toe the Squirrel, Flik, and Jiminy Cricket…and an unlikely, budding romance was bloomed between Joshua and Riri along the way. But Freddie Facilier had plans of her own as she's in hot pursuit on their trail, bent on using Nadia's blood to further her purposes with the help of a few demonic beings in the form of an angry army of shadows and the epic powers that are beyond manipulation of both magic and mind. Ultimately, Joshua and Riri's love for each other made them realize that they must rely each other to get through the toughest of times…all part of growing up, putting things right, and learning the true meaning of their bond.

Merlin (after Arthur has returned from the realm of the dead) regrets his decision to show Arthur most of the Arthurian Legend, the worst, it seems, “The Sword in the Stone”

The Sword in the Stone (1963)

[fuckyeaharthuriana]

My favorite arthurian movies (part 1/3)

More details (and youtube links for the less known movies) under cut. Some of these I love, some are so bad so good, some are beautifully epic, some are just funny.

Knights of the Round Table (1953): Visually beautiful, epic-like, interesting Morgana and Mordred. Lovely Guinevere. Focused mainly on Lancelot.

The Sword in the Stone (1963): Classic Disney movie, heart warming, still funny moments nowadays.

Sword of Lancelot (1963) (youtube): Visually beautiful romance story between Guinevere and Lancelot, one of my favorite Mordred ever too.

Camelot (1967): Musical movie version of the Broadway musical. Beautiful visually, heart-breaking story, great acting, one of my favorite arthurian movies. Focused on Guinevere, Lancelot and Arthur and the tragedy of it.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975): The best arthurian movie ever created. Parody of the quest for the Holy Grail.

Excalibur (1981): A classic epic arthurian movie. Focuses on Arthur and then moves its focus on Merlin and Morgana. Beautiful fighting scenes and Camlann scenes.

Camelot (1982) (youtube): Camelot musical but this time filmed from the stage, so it has some extra scenes.

Morte d'Arthur (1984) (youtube): Lesser known Jeremy Brett movie focusing on Arthur's last years, on Guinevere's escape and return and on Mordred's betrayal. Narrated like a play, with narration over filmed scenes instead of dialogue.

Merlin and the Sword (1985) (youtube): So bad so good, accidentally hilarious. It focuses on Morgana vs Arthur, Guinevere's love, Merlin and it also has the only movie representation of Gawain and Ragnelle.
