Ivanhoe

Animation, Canada/France 1997

Ivanhoe is loyal to King Richard the Lionheart. The king is being held prisoner by the Austrian emperor. Ivanhoe tries to rescue the king, but the king's brother, Prince John, has other plans. Ivanhoe’s old friend Sir Miles return from the Crusades after several years in prison. Wishing to pay his respects to Richard, his venerable sovereign, he comes to York, where is he astonished to find Prince John on the throne. The Prince lies to the honourable knight, telling him Richard was betrayed and handed over to the Holy Roman Emperor by ... Ivanhoe! Miles already had an old account to settle with our hero ... now Ivanhoe must pay! For the Prince, Miles’ desire for revenge is a perfect means for getting hands on the treasure Ivanhoe is collecting to ransom Richard. Following the Regent’s deceitful advice, Miles disguises himself as a pilgrim and goes to Rotherwood. But Ivanhoe quickly recognises his old friend and at last manages to open his eyes to the truth.
