Das magische Schwert - Die Legende von Camelot

Bill Kroyer, the original director of this movie, intended to make a darker movie, more faithful in tone to the original book. Following the phenomenal successes of the movies of the Disney Renaissance, Warner Bros. among many other studios, moved into Warner Bros. Feature Animation hoping to replicate similar successes with their own animated movies. At Warner Brothers' behest, Kroyer's vision for this movie was rejected, in favor of a more Disney animated musical movie-style, and the movie was put into production before the story was even finalized. The complex plot and dark nature of the novel, The King's Damousel, were replaced with several animation trademarks of the 1990s-era: musical numbers, a strong female heroine, a power hungry antagonist who wants to usurp the kingdom, a romantic subplot where the couple lives happily ever after, talking animal sidekicks, and family-friendly comedy gags.

When Devon and Cornwall make shadow puppets on the wall, Garrett (who is supposedly blind), looks at the shadow puppets on the wall.

On the On Demand print, during the closing credits, the offer for the movie's soundtrack on CD & Cassette, that is seen before the movie begins, plays again.

In the version released on Netflix and YouTube, the Warner Bros. Family Entertainment logo is plastered by the Warner Bros. Television logo.
