Arthur's Quest ★★½ 1999 (PG)

In this switcheroo on Mark Twain's “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court” a five-year-old Arthur is transported by Merlin from his medieval home to the modern age because the wizard fears for the boy's safety. Merlin doesn't reappear for 10 years, so Arthur has become a typical American teen. Now, how do you convince a 15-year-old that he's really a medieval monarch who must return to save Camelot? 91m/C VHS, DVD . Kevin Elston, Zach Galligan, Arye Gross, Clint Howard, Brion James, Katie Johnston, Neil Mandt; D: Neil Mandt. VIDEO
