Le Roi Arthur et les Chevaliers de Justice

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!

This was hands down the best cartoon of the 90s... well at least the early 90s... except for maybe exo squad, but still totally awesome! deserved way more than 2 seasons. My buddies and i still go around chanting Excalibur, BE MY STRENGTH!! and then hum that awesome music. do do do dooo do do doo doo do do doooooo, oh yeah. I know a lot of people like the Simpsons or something better, but that's cuz they don't see the genius behind a bunch of knights that shoot cool stuff out of their lances and drive sweet vehicles around. Too bad the toys for this show were totally lame compared to the ones for transformers, exosquad, and silver hawks. All in all, this show was about as underrated as The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was.

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.

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.

Great show! I love it! During the summer, I stay at my grandma house and watch this show. Did my best to be present to watch this show. If there were a novel, that this cartoon was based upon. The story is outstanding with great scene. Get it and refresh the unforgettable memories of "King Auther and the Knight of Justice"!Great theme music by the way! Where can I find a recorded theme music? I may be 20 years old but I still have a great passion for classic cartoon show.
