1962
As you know, the idea of doing an impromptu Fantasy February came after I mistaken thought that I had scored a DVD set of 13 movies from a Walmart bin (turned out to be 8 movies, 13 hours). I never expected them to be good and I was mostly not disappointed in this. Despite the cover art, most were from the 60s, 70s, late 90s and were made for families (if not children). The sound quality was best described as intermittent. I have learned my lesson.

| George does in this guy, who's clearly a prisoner, too. Wicked honorable. |
Man-child George (Gary Lockwood) steals his 21st birthday gifts a whole year early, locking his sorceress foster mother in a secret lair while he traipses off to rescue a princess he's been spying on. Said princess has been captured by a evil sorcerer in a plot concocted by a knight in her father's court, who has an eye out for her and the throne. That's kind of the usual for these stories. What's cringe-worthy is how George is in "love" with someone he doesn't know, that he's been watching everyday through a magic Looking Pool. Watching her while she's swimming naked in her private pond (?). Because that's not creepy or anything. Anywho, he and his birthday presents rescue her before she's eaten by the Baddie's big two-headed Chinese parade float dragon. Yea, George!
Moving on...
