Yes, I heart Galavant! No, I don’t mean like gallivanting, though I still have a fondness for gadding about when I have the time and energy (okay, so it’s more like wishful thinking at this point in my life *grin*). I’m talking about the miniseries (now available for free on Hulu), Galavant.
Take Robin Hood: Men in Tights, combine with a healthy dollop of The Princess Bride, sprinkle a bit of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, add a splash or two of musical episodes of Buffy and Xena, mix liberally with great actors, stir in some cool cameos, bake it halfway, and you’ll end up with the wonderful, giggle-fest that is Galavant.
Here’s a tiny taste, in the form of animated gifs –
Love getting crazy stuff like this. #Galavant is far from over. Stay tuned and stay passionate!https://t.co/nSIpk07K04

Bizarrely, Fred *hated* the first two episodes, so we wound up not watching the rest. I thought it was cute and funny, though, so I recorded it on the secondary DVR — some day when I’m home sick, I’ll have some fun watching it straight through.
I love musicals, especially light ones. Wish they did them more often!
