We complete our entirely coincidental, unofficial Guinevere month on the spookiest day of the year! Unfortunately Princess Gwenevere & the Jewel Riders is about as far from spooky as you can get. Bright colours, a flying unicorn, Princess Gwenevere attempts to thwart the plans of the evil Lady Kale.

A look at the 1994 made-for-TV movie, Guinevere. A movie which certainly runs true to its title. Also we see Guinevere and Lancelot and the two do not have an affair! I was as shocked by this as you are!
