    Griffin fanart from the Quest for Camelot movie This 1998 movie was very forgettable and terrible lol. I have many critiques of the movie itself, but the griffin villain had a great character design. The voice didn't match the character imo, but the design was solid.

    Wow! That was just... bad. So bad it was actually impressive how bad it was. My advice: If you are desperate to see a live action SF Movie, skip it and watch The Quest (1996), or better yet, play the game.

    It feels like "The Quest to Save the Universe From Damnation", the movie Ronny recommended, is quite important since it was mentioned. It's best to check it out if possible. Maybe there are some leads from it to DDE, it would allow us to understand more of the situation. Maybe

    Oh, yeah, the history behind this was chaotic. Bill Kroyer and Frederik Du Chau were attached to the film initially called The Quest for the Grail which was to have been loosely based on The King's Damosel. Given the mature subject matter, it already would've diverged from the source, but- (1/4)
