I've never been able to find a definitive answer to how Yertle became king of the turtles in the first place.

@lauren something about a Lady of the Lake holding aloft Excalibur if I remember correctly.....

Not really sure it was the best way to select a government of the turtles....

@zader The one really worthwhile shot in "Excalibur" was when the sword was thrown back at the lake and the Lady's arm reached up absolutely vertical, caught it, and pulled it back down absolutely vertical. Love that shot.
@lauren @zader best line - "you have broken what cannot be broken"
@donlamb_1 @zader Hilarious how they were wearing their armor pretty much all the time.
@lauren @zader I was in hs at the time and being huge D&D nerds we loved that movie. Merlin is awesome and over the top. Didn't they wear full armor 24-7 back then? 😊
@donlamb_1 @zader All of Boorman's work has merit of one kind of another.
