This was a mystery, along with a bad singing habit that the dragons and even Sir Loungelot have a bad time with. But for once, we see the dragons in the first story without humans for a strange reason. Meanwhile, the second story is the usual anthropomorphic animal/ human collaboration. But that is not enough to make this show any better than any other late 90s cartoon.
In the first segment, The Lost Hat of Omar the Ham, the queen loses her wrong that she got from Omar the Ham and the king unexpectedly hires Sir Locksmith of Holmes. Meanwhile, there were a couple of unnecessary moments that occurred throughout the first segment. At the beginning, Queen Griddle is crying so loud that the whole castle can hear (again). This was because she was crying over the ring she lost, as I previously mentioned. Throughout the segment, Sir Locksmith of Holmes can be seen as a bad interpretation of Sherlock Holmes by being represented as the main villain instead of the usual hero he is. It made me feel like every adaptation of a character in this series is a bad guy. Not only that, but he also made countless bad comments about Sir Loungelot and Queen Griddle, regarding obesity and accusations. This episode was certainly not my cup of tea like the usual Sherlock Holmes story.
In the second segment, Achy Breaky Mace, Sir Loungelot finds a mace that hypnotizes him to sing and causes him to express bad behavior. From looking at the title, I found this to be a ripoff to one of Elvis Presley's songs. Even Sir Loungelot in the entire episode rips off Elvis' character when he has the mace. Aside from Elvis Presley, Loungelot's singing is obnoxious and repetitive and when he is not singing, his behavior is kinda evil as he attempted to take the throne of King Allfire by challenging him to a duel. As Loungelot was expressing his temporary evil behavior, I could notice some creepy looks from him, even at the start of his duel. This is a segment that I hope to never see again.
Overall, I thought there could be some improvement with this episode compared to the previous fourteen, but unfortunately, I didn't see a chance of that happening. The interpretations from both segments were awful and nothing that I would hope to see in a medieval cartoon adaptation. It was also much worse than the last episode of the show that came before this one. I rather listen to Elvis Presley music and watch Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd century, another 90s cartoon, instead just to get away from these two eleven minute stories.
