Johnny be good
15 December 2023
An evil being Malfeasor (Michael Ansara) has taken over Camelot. Merlin (Ian Abercrombie) sends a ring into the future time to bring back a hero to free the land. The ring instead comes into the possession of Johnny (Toran Caudell) a would-be child magician. Johnny inadvertently makes his sister disappear, so instead of a hero, he goes back in time with a lush has-been TV magician Blackmoor (Russ Tamblyn.) Now Merlin must rely on those two and a local child of his time Sprout (Amber Tamblyn.)

Will the three of them equal the hero that never showed?

Will the trio make a "Joseph Campbell's Heroes Journey?" Will this be enough to sober up Blackmoor?

Or will everything go awry leaving Glenn (Patrick Renna) to take the place of Jonny's sister forever?

This movie is a fair afternoon special with all the elements that go into the making of it has flashes to two different stories happening parallel in two different worlds one being an over-glorified mythic time in history with kids having to deal with evil adults and the other be an oversimplified modern time with kids having to deal with kids and ignorant adults.
