Knights of Markie's childhood pop culture and bigfoot.

In Disney's "A Kid in King Arthur's Court," Calvin is about to strike out during a baseball game when an earthquake hits and he falls into a hole. He lands into the sixth century and is greeted by Merlin. He must save Camelot by helping King Arthur to fight Lord Belascoe so that King Arthur can keep his place as king. He also falls in love with a princess. The story is based off of a novel by Mark Twain called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.










One of my most favorite movies when I was a kid was "Quest for Camelot." Quest for Camelot is about a girl who really wants to be a Knight of the Round Table like her father, Sir Lionel. Sir Lionel died when Sir Ruber Attacked King Arthur. Sir Lionel's daughter, Kaylee, wants to follow her father's footsteps and goes on a quest for Camelot. Along the quest she meets Garret, who is blind, and a two headed dragon. As they get lost in the woods, they find Excalibur being used as a toothpick by a giant.







"Finding Bigfoot" reminds me of the quest for the holy grail because people are so set out to find something that isn't real, but they are so convinced it exists. Like the holy grail, the journey for bigfoot has been going on for several years, but is a great adventure for many.
