13 Movies You Loved As A Child (But Hate As An Adult)

11. A Kid In King Arthur's Court (1995)

A loose take on Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, this live-action Disney film follows the adventures of modern-day youngster Calvin after an earthquake magically transports him to the time of the mythical King Arthur. Calvin has little trouble in adapting to medieval life, however, wowing the Knights of the Round Table with his modern technology and catching the eye of a beautiful young princess while he's at it. With a 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, adult viewers should brace themselves for the worst. A Kid In King Arthur's Court simply fails to entertain on every intended level, with atrocious acting, a lazy screenplay and some incredibly sluggish direction. Though the film's basic premise is perfectly sound, it is actually the antithesis of what a kids film should be - bland, witless and totally devoid of charm.
