Le Roi Arthur et les Chevaliers de Justice

Nothing got me more excited on Saturday morning when I was a kid, then 10 A.M. Yes, that was when my favorite cartoon ever came on the air. King Arthur had it all. Epic battles, Knights, Magic, Evil, Good, and a huge freaking dragon that came out of King Arthurs shield. It's sad this show only lasted two seasons. I would love to find the two seasons on a torrent or DVD or something. Unlike G.I Joe, or TMNT, this show showed that the "Bad Guys" could win too, and do some major damage. I wish this show was still on the air, even if it was re-runs. King Arthur was a show unlike any others. All the knights that had a certain power, and the evil guys who would stop them at all costs. This was, and still is, in my opinion the greatest Saturday morning cartoon ever aired on television.

I used to watch this as a kid on Sunday mornings. After a random search, I found out that they had released the first 5 or 6 episodes on DVD. Ran to the shops and bought the first DVD from MVC a few weeks ago.

Many happy memories came flooding back as King Arthur and his Knights pledged 'Fairness to all' and to 'Protect the weak and vanquish the evil'.

Anything that advocates honour, glory and love whilst including Knights, steeds with weapons, Dragons and possibly the most beautiful maiden in all of cartoondom, has to be bought, watched and loved. Easily one of the best cartoon series ever produced. It's a pity that they have decided to release it in small blocks of episodes. Knights! Knights! Knights!

I used to watch this show all the time and I definitely agree that King Arthur and The Knights of Justice was the best show I ever saw. It was so good in fact that when I couldn't remember the name of my childhood show, I spent probably 2 years trying to figure it out till a friend of mine knew what I was talking about and told me the name. Anyways, I love the show and I wish it was still playing, but im looking for any videos, action figures, etc... basically anything having to do with the show. If anyone has any more information, please email me about where to find things and all, I would really appreciate it. If you haven't seent the show, your missing out. One of the few where good guys had cooler weapons than the bad guys!

dude with all the tech they have now they should make a movie about this cartoon that would be excellent movie taking a football from now n putting back in the past to fight for Justice now that would be awesome movie dude i recommend that they do do this because it could be a good thing for a cartoon my n your time.The story was great and the characters were just awesome. the crowning point of the show was the various weapons used on both sides of good and evil, battering rams, spirit animals, one of the bad guys could fly,merlin brought all of them back threw time which was awesome. which now could be next blockbuster movie who's know's.

Understand that I am in no way burdened by nostalgia. I'd never heard of or seen this show when I was a kid, and only started watching it as an adult.

And, when you get down to it, the show it stupid. Toyetic character designs and weapons aside, the premise is pretty shaky: King Arthur and his knights disappear while out on a quest and Merlin is forced to recruit, bear with me here, a football team from what I can only assume is New York City to be the new Knights of the Round Table, said table granting them magical equipment and knowledge of how to fight.

As I said, I find that to be a REALLY stupid premise. It might've been stronger if they'd had the new knights be the underdogs for a few episodes before they finally found their footing and became the invincible warriors they are from the start. And just because they know how to fight doesn't mean they instantly are ready to risk their lives in lethal combat. I find that to be psychologically unrealistic (the key word here being "psychologically").

However, after I watched the first episode and my adult mind stopped grappling with the premise, my inner 8-year-old kid said, open- mouthed and drooling, "THIS WAS MADE JUST FOR ME." Holy crap, this show is awesome. It has knights in shining armor, damsels in distress, damsels who can kick all kinds of ass, dragons, flying stone Warlords, all the above doing battle with some of the most ridiculously cool weapons I've ever seen, and just to put the cherry on the sundae, the music is 90% rock 'n' roll. And not that stock rock music that a lot of cartoons use, I'm talking Ron Wasserman- style metal-influenced guitar- shredding rock. A most excellent choice for the soundtrack.

I'll admit I haven't finished Season 1 yet and I know there's a second season, about which I heard new villains arrive sporting a samurai/ninja aesthetic. My only hope is that the show doesn't go the route of Sonic SatAM Season 2 and become TOO stupid. But even if it does, I'll still loves it to death and pray every weekend for a reboot.

SPOILERS: Season 2 goes the route of Sonic SatAM, in that the animation and frame art gets so bad sometimes that I can't enjoy the cartoon. Someone reboot this show STAT!
