Welcome to Researching the Villains of the Matter of Britain, a blog sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain. This site was founded in 2009 and is devoted to furthering discussion and debate on the antagonists and antiheroes of the Arthurian tradition from its medieval origins to the present and in all media in which Arthuriana appears.

Quest for Camelot Redivivus
I posted this on the Studies of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages Blog, but it also relevant here: The web site for the 1998 Warner Bros. animated film Quest for Camelot is still mostly active, and one can find a wealth of information on the making of the film, including some details on Gary Oldman's character, the villainous Sir Ruber, a Mordred analogue, as I explain in "Will the 'Reel' Mordred Please Stand Up: Strategies for Representing Mordred in American and British Arthurian Film" in Cinema Arthuriana: Twenty Essays (now in paperback), edited by Kevin J. Harty (McFarland, 2002). The site also contains a downloadable trailer, production stills, and some coloring pages for the young at heart. There are also interviews with the cast on site, though I believe they are all included on the DVD release of the film.
