Comedian Don Rickles passed away recently. Arthurian enthusiasts might remember his portrayal of Cornwall, one half of a two-headed dragon, in the animated film Quest for Camelot (1998). The character is introduced (along with his other half, Devon) in the following musical number.
Sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, the "Matter of Britain on Screen" blog is designed as an aid to explorations of the transformations undergone by the Matter of Britain as it is translated to film, television, and related electronic media, such as games and internet video.
Excalibur is not a thing, something you can hold in your hand.
Excalibur is the good in you.
The power to do good, to stand up for what's right, to slay dragons, to capture bank robbers.
You always carry Excalibur in your heart.
Robert Tinnell, Kids of the Round Table (1995)
