Seen it previously an undetermined number of times, probably around two, on undetermined dates, certainly no later than 1986.
A Viking king is deposed and forced into exile near Great Britain. He sends his young son Valiant to England to become a knight. On his way there Valiant discovers a plot to overthrow King Arthur. Once he arrives at his destination he becomes Sir Gawain's squire.
Very lightweight plot, which is to be expected since this was a characteristic of the source comic strip, where story took backstage to the magnificent drawings. But it is not a bad movie, the faithful reproduction of the source's images in celluloid is very nice, and this is a visually elegant movie. As an adaptation, I do not see how this could have been much better.
