Quest for Camelot is an animated feature from Warner Brothers, released in 1998. It was retitled The Magic Sword in Asia.

The movie is about a young girl named Kayley who wants to be a knight of the Round Table in Camelot like her father, Sir Lionel.

Synopsis

Kayley's father, Sir Lionel, is one of the knights of the Round Table. Kayley wants to be a knight like her father and save Camelot. Tragically, Lionel is killed by the evil Baron Ruber, who wants to become king of Camelot instead of King Arthur. Ruber attacks Arthur, but Lionel takes the blow for the king, and is killed. Ruber flees Camelot after being beaten back by Excalibur. After her father funeral, Arthur said she and her mother would be welcomed in Camelot.

After many years, Ruber's griffin attacks Camelot and steals Excalibur. Merlin's bird Ayden attacks the griffin and the sword falls down into the Forbidden Forest. Meanwhile, Ruber goes to Kayley's home, holds everyone hostage and uses dark magic to create steel warriors out of his human henchmen (and Bladebeak). He then takes over the village and catches Juliana, Kayley's mother.

Kayley runs away to escape warriors and finds herself in the Forbidden Forest. Determined to find Excalibur, she winds up falling down a trap and meets Garrett, a blind boy, and Ayden. Kayley convinces him to help her find Excalibur with her. She then learns about Garret's past: he was once a young stableboy in Camelot. But when the stable caught fire and he was rescuing the horses when one of them hit his head. The result made him blind. Yet Kayley's father still believed in Garrett and taught him to adapt.

They travel to Dragon Country and meet the funny two-headed dragon named Devon and Cornwall. They don't like each other, can't breathe fire or fly (Which is why they are bullied by other dragons) and each wants to be his own dragon. Devon and Cornwall decide to join to the group; Garrett refuses, but Kayley manages to convince him.

Later, the group goes into a dark cave. In the cave lives a giant who holds the sword Excalibur. Kayley succeeds in getting the sword, but she and Garrett get stuck in the way and the dragons have to save them.

When they arrived to Camelot, Kayley wants Garrett to go with her, but Garrett refuses. After he leaves, Ruber returns and steals the sword from Kayley.

Devon and Cornwall, who see what's happening, run to Garrett for help, finally convincing Garrett to go save Kayley. By working together for the first time, Devon and Cornwall are able to fly and breathe fire.

Meanwhile, Kayley meets her mother and tries to escape from her ropes. Bladebeak releases her and she runs to find Ruber. Garrett finds Kayley and they go to King Arthur's castle. In the castle, Ruber meets King Arthur and tries to kill him. Kayley and Garrett stop him and trick Ruber into returning Excalibur to its stone. A blue wave struck Camelot. It turn the mechanical men back to normal including Bladebeak and destroyed Ruber.

After Ruber dies, Kayley and Garrett get married and become knights of the round table. The movie ends with the happy couple riding a horse with a sign saying: "Just Knighted"
