I just finished watching this as a Sunday night Disney movie on TV. I found this to be a pretty faithful to the IDEA of Mark Twain's original story. Granted it didn't even TRY to follow the original plot, however I don't think that was ever the intention.
Taking it as a new work, based on the theme of the original, and not as an adaptation of the original, I think this was well done, and the identity of the black knight SHOULD have been obvious, but it took me by complete surprise.
Kate Winslet does a very good job as the Princess, and Patrick Macnee does an excellent job as Merlin.
All in all a very enjoyable FAMILY movie with no bloody violence and not a single bad word that I can recall.
