Which film was released first, Race to Witch Mountain or A Kid in King Arthur's Court?
A Kid in King Arthur's Court A Kid in King Arthur's Court is a 1995 Disney family film directed by Michael Gottlieb. It is based on the famous Mark Twain novel "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" (previously filmed by Disney as "Unidentified Flying Oddball" in 1978 in which Ron Moody also played Merlin), transplanted into the twentieth century. Trimark later released a sequel, "A Kid in Aladdin's Palace", in 1998, but without Disney's involvement. Since Trimark's dissolution, the sequel is now distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment.
The Sword and the Circle The Sword and the Circle, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is a children's novel written by Rosemary Sutcliff and was first published in 1981. The story is a retelling of the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. According to her own statements in the introduction, "The Sword and the Circle" follows the myths and folktales of King Arthur, crediting inspiration primarily from Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur"; other sources include Geoffrey of Monmouth's "Historia Regum Britanniae", English ballads, and Irish folktales. She contrasts this telling of the King Arthur story with her previous novels, "The Lantern Bearers" and "Sword at Sunset", which were more an attempt to connect with a concrete historical figure behind the folktales.
