The Adventures of Galgameth A Medieval Family Movie

The Adventures of Galgameth is a coming of age movie about a friendship between a boy and a rather unusual friend. Starring Devin Neil Oatway, Johna Stewart and Stephen Macht, it was the first movie directed by Sean McNamara who went on to become a successful producer of both movies and television shows.

The Adventures of Galgameth is the story of a boy who is a prince and strives to free his land from an evil knight who has taken over the kingdom. A seemingly low budget film, it never aired in movie theatres in North America but played on the Disney Channel as well as overseas. An entertaining movie for family viewing. Despite the fact that it was a low budget film, I still found myself rooting for Galgameth and the prince.

Unfortunately, The Adventures of Galgameth has not been released in North America on DVD. If you have a region-free player, you will be able to purchase a DVD copy but, if you do not and you want to watch this movie, you will have to purchase a VHS videotape.

Amazon Product Description of The Adventures of Galgameth

"This family-oriented fairy tale was shot on-location in Romania and is set in medieval times. There, teenage Prince Davin and his father engage in a playful joust that unfortunately results in injury for the King who eventually dies, not because of the joust but because his devious head knight El El has been slowly poisoning him.

As soon as the king dies, El El claims the crown until poor guilt-wracked Davin comes of age. Under El El's ruthless reign, the poor peasants fall into a grim oppressed life. To make it worse, the villainous king claims he is acting under the orders of Davin.

Eventually Davin figures out El El's treachery and confronts him. El El decides Davin must die and so the boy flees with only his father's perplexing last words to guide him. Just before he expired, the King whispered of a statuette of the mythical Galgameth, a giant metal-munching dragon that will faithfully serve the one who sheds tears upon the statue.

Though big and clunky looking, Galgameth has a certain homely charm that will appeal to children. With the giant monster's help, good Prince Davin is able to ensure a happy ending for his kingdom." ~ Amazon

Reviews By Other Galgameth Viewers

The Adventure of Galgameth A Movie Review
"The movie does seem to go by quickly. It's very cliché and predictable. But for a child who hasn't seen as many movies as me, they would probably not know that and have a good time. The movie did a good job of not insulting the intelligence of the audience or talking down to the children. Whether or not it was fun is for you to decide."
The Adventures of Galgameth Review By Moria
Galgameth is a modest children's fantasy film...
The Adventures of Galgameth Review By Cold Fusion Video
Davin (Devin Oayway) is a fourteen-year-old with the standard movie problems: A lack of self-confidence and a need to find his place in the world.
