Plot summary

Get your front-row seat for a sold-out medieval slug-fest. Faithful--and clumsy--servant Cedric will do whatever it takes to help his noble master, Sir Loinsteak, prepare for a jousting tournament against the defending champion, Sir Cumference. But when Sir Loinsteak takes a nasty spill, it's up to Cedric to take the reins and don the armor to battle for the hand of the fair Princess Esmerelda.

The narrator asserts that he's reporting about . . .

. . . "the 123rd running of the Canterbury Tournament," which he claims took place in 1446 at the outset of A KNIGHT FOR A DAY. This would make the initial edition of Canterbury a highlight on the 1323 calendar. Think about that for a moment. Canterbury is pictured here as an iron-centered event, what with swords, lance tips, armor, shields, horseshoes and so forth. Ask yourself, "Was iron even invented by 1323?" The Fourteenth Century was a long time ago. People were so benighted that this period was dubbed as "The Dark Ages." If they actually had iron way back then, why did it take centuries longer for someone to invent iron horses?

Silly and fun.

Like many of the Goofy cartoons, all the characters in this one look like Goofy--even the 'beautiful princess'! It's set in Medieval times and begins at a tournament for knights. Sir Loinsteak is supposed to joust with Sir Cumference but Loinsteak is accidentally knocked out while he's getting ready. So, his loyal squire, Cederic, takes his place--especially since the winner will get the hand of the princess. What follows is a lot of the usual Goofy silliness--and Cederic refuses to give up to the favorite, Cumference.This cartoon is just silly fun. While the animation is lovely (as you'd expect from Disney), the star of the film is the ridiculousness of it all. Fun from start to finish--especially when the narrator talks to Cedric and gives him advice!
