This was one of the least satisfying movie-length cartoons I ever saw. Admittedly I am 21, but even as a kid I wouldn't have liked it. The animation is just on the edge of average(at least for this day and age) and the voice talents just went to waste. Cary Elwes never looked and sounded duller or more emotionless. It' was as of his voice was quieter than the others and he just didn't get into his role at all. But the worst thing was his singing voice; from the uninspiring Garret to a show-off singing voice with a distinguishable American accent was simply too much. Or Celine Dion singing for Jane Seymour for that matter. The songs were terrible (and I don't want to sound like the worst anti-modernist, but some of them didn't even rhyme)and some of them were completely misplaced in the movie. You just have to see it to believe it. At on point Kayley is running for her life, trying to escape the baddies while her mother is singing how she has to be strong and not let them capture her. The only person who really put an effort into his character was Gary Oldman(no real surprise there), but his character was as typical as villains get, letting no room for an over the top performance that could have maybe softened the fall of this pathetically unfunny and lifeless movie. Oh yeah, as it had already been mentioned; I was also wondering why his character was a member of the knights of the round table to begin with. The director went with the established Disney formula, which was already getting old over at their studios as it was, so the end result here need not be explained. Don't see it if you're an adult, don't let your kids watch it, stay away and rent "The Iron Giant" instead.3/10
