tv tropers "old shame" page: "According to Lauren Faust, Quest for Camelot is this for all the animators who worked on it due to the Executive Meddling involved that ultimately led to it failing in the box office." |

So it's justified to use Lauren's OC for this picture then? |
| NightJack #669889 8 months ago |
Why yes it was that bad. |

@upanon: Lauren Faust was one of those animators |

Strange. I didn't think it was THAT bad. I even saw the Nostalgia review... |

More than Old Shame, I think the word is "What Could Have Been" if the animators could have been allowed to do their thing without meddling. |

Apparently, it's not bad. It just made poor results to the box office. Happens with many other movies and/or games. When Starcraft was out, Total Annihilation was quickly forgotten, despite the fact that it was quite good. |

Though, the song at the beginning is awesome |

Yep, liked it also. Ruber was kinda awesome. And true, TA is consistently among the top underrated games of all time. Pity. |

Why is everyone saying they like it, this is about how bad the executive meddling was, that's what it's about. |

I have an animation teacher that worked on this movie. She said the animators called it "Quest for a Plot" |

man the COMPUTER GAME was more entertaining. |

I don't really get why is this her "secret shame".
I mean, she worked on the movie's animation, and the animation was good - the only good thing about this movie, even. Though I guess just having something to do with this garbage is justified as secret shame. |

It's only a model. |

@toySoldierScratch: this is not her "secret shame", is just something she was not happy with the result thanks to the Executive Meddling of doom, something that she REALLY (and everyone agrees with it) feel shame for is BENDY |

Someone managed to speak with Lauren about this movie. Even had a quote from Lauren talking about the meddling of doom that Warner bros made.
"Warner Bros did not know what they were doing. They didn't care about animation being as an art form as well as entertainment, they wanted profits. If they wanted a bad Disney knock off, they should have talked to Don Bluth on their part. Camelot was planned as an animated feature in the veins of Ralph Bakshi's Wizards, you know something with a PG-13. In the end they didn't even know what to do with it. Nearly everyone I knew that worked on Camelot hated it, and they don't even want to talk about it. Personally, its makes Don Bluth's bad movies in the 90's look good. It was rather stressful since production time was overhauled for us animators to stay at the studio longer to animate the scenes since Warner Bros was about to be late for a deadline on the movie. When it was finished it tanked(I myself along with the people who I worked with knew that it was going to bomb). The heads of Warner Bros then say "Why did this bomb?", what I said to them was this. "You made it worst, and turned something good into something nobody wants to look at". They even had to cancel an animated film that a guy by the name of Milton Knight pitched to them. Only because they couldn't picture cartoony animation working out for animated features. Everyone I know thinks a PG-13 animated feature would have been better than a poor Disney knock-off. It still annoys me that the female character looks like Belle while the guy looks like the human version of The Beast" Source http://www.donbluthanimation.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1619 Funny thing is, I never noticed until now that the two main characters looked like Belle and Beast. |

BUT I LOVED THAT MOVIE!
Hell, i've still got the tape lyin' around here somewhere... |

@Spitfire, Lauren may have been one of the few people with brains to notice that everyone was making Disney knock offs in the 90's. I wouldn't be surprised if anyone worked on this for the paycheck. |

Out of curiosity, who is this 'Milton Knight' that Lauren mentioned in that message? |
| Anonymous #726486 7 months ago |
Milton Knight is an animator who is best known for his Tex Avery/Max Fleischer-style work on Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and The Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat. So, the studio doesn't want an adult animated (fantasy) movie AND a Tex Avery-style movie, right? |

Milton Knight's animation resume
http://www.miltonknight.net/animation.html Turns out the "cartoony" feature that Lauren mentioned to them was a feature called Day of the dead. |
