Similarities and Differences Between The Series and The Legend

King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table retold the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It featured Arthurian characters such as Lancelot, Guinevere, Tristan, Percival, Merlin, Uther, and Igraine, and other familiar items like Camelot and Excalibur.

On the other hand the series are not faithfully adjusted to the original narration of the legend. For example new characters and stories are added and the plot became softer.

In the early 1980s a French dubbed version was released through Jacques Censtrier Productions. Titled "Le Roi Arthur", only the first 4 episodes were released onto VHS. All of the characters names remained the same, however the opening and closing theme songs were still aired and played in their original Japanese music scores.

Famous quotes containing the words similarities, differences, series and/or legend:

    One internationally known twin researcher sees similarities between twins’ relationships and those of couple who have been married a long time. Fifteen-year-old twins, as well as spouses approaching their fortieth anniversary, each know their partners’ likes, dislikes, habits, and idiosyncracies as well as they know their own.

    What strikes many twin researchers now is not how much identical twins are alike, but rather how different they are, given the same genetic makeup....Multiples don’t walk around in lockstep, talking in unison, thinking identical thoughts. The bond for normal twins, whether they are identical or fraternal, is based on how they, as individuals who are keenly aware of the differences between them, learn to relate to one another.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
