Sorry writing all this down took so long. The following is what I've thought of thus far.

Arthur is now king, Kay and Sir Ector have moved into Camelot with him, and everything looks great, but the boy king is feeling out of place. He goes to visit the squirrel girl from the last movie with Merlin and Archimedes. Madame Mim attacks them with living trees. Merlin casts a spell to dispel all nearby magic, and lifts a curse over the squirrel, turning her into a human girl. She has no idea who she is, so Arthur names her Hazel, for the catkins caught in her hair, and takes her to Camelot. Meanwhile, Merlin notices that the girl is wearing a familiar medallion with an A-shaped insignia, the fat lady squirrel from the first movie follows them, and elsewhere, Madam Mim sees the the squirrel has become a girl and appears steamed about it.

A bunch of filler stuff happens. We see Arthur’s day-to-day life of royal duties and Merlin’s tutoring while Hazel gets settled. We also meet Sir Bedivere, Kay's friend and fellow knight.

A knight in green armour suddenly shows up and seeks a challenge. Two of Camelot’s finest warriors accept, but the Green Knight is invincible, he can even reattach his limbs! Then Kay takes the challenge, and when he stabs the Green Knight through the heart, the armour falls to the ground as if the body just disappeared. Kay celebrates his victory with the citizens.

More filler. Hazel and Arthur grow closer, but Kay starts to experience mood swings, hears Madam Mim’s voice in his head, and he’s turning green!

On the eve of Arthur’s thirteenth birthday, he and Hazel sneak away from the castle’s fuss. Meanwhile, Kay’s condition comes to a head, and Bedivere catches him putting on the green armour and speaking in the Green Knight’s voice. Bedivere tries to stop Kay, only for his possessed friend to chop off his hand with the Green Knight’s sword. As Bedivere goes to warn the others, Mim appears, impressed with the Green Knight’s new body.

When Arthur and Hazel get back, Hazel is kidnapped by the Knight and Mim. Bedivere (who is fine. Turns out he lost his hand a long time ago,) tells Merlin what is happening to Kay, and Merlin finally remembers the significance of Hazel’s medallion: It’s the crest of the ultra-magical Avalon isle, and determines that it means Mim has taken the girl to Avalon. Arthur, Merlin, and Archimedes take a sailboat toward Avalon.

On the desolate and ghostly island, Mim and the Knight take Hazel to the crumbling castle, as her memories rapidly return. She remembers that Avalon was a paradise, until Mim and the Green Knight attacked one hundred years ago. In the throne room, there is a sickly-looking giant. Mim demands that the giant, King Ogurien, hand over the crown of Avalon. In return she will let his daughter live. Hazel finally remembers that she is Princess Guinevere of Avalon.

Meanwhile, Arthur and company reach Avalon. At the castle, Merlin magically translates the tapestries, and he realizes “Hazel’s” true identity as well. They drop in just in time to watch Ogurien pass on the crown to Mim with a magical ceremony, before he crumbles to dust.

With Mim the new ruler, everything goes straight to madness. Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and Archimedes run for cover. Archimedes theorizes just getting the crown away from Mim, but Guin tells the boys that only a member of Avalon’s royal family can pass on the crown to another, and never themselves. This gives Arthur an idea. — I’m a little foggy about the climax, but here it goes — Merlin distracts the Green Knight, while Archimedes flies in and plucks the Crown of Avalon from Mim. She shoots the owl down with magic, but the fallen crown is picked up by the older squirrel (a stowaway on the heroes’ boat) and given to Guin. The princess passes on the Crown to Arthur, and as the new regent, Arthur wills Avalon back to it’s original state. The land comes back to life, the Green Knight’s spirit (a warrior fay named Caliburn who Mim turned into her minion) leaves Kay’s body, the old squirrel turns back into Guin’s nursemaid Vivienne, and Guin gets put in a pretty princess dress. Then all the spirits of Avalon’s citizens that Mim killed on hundred years are rejuvenated enough to attack Mim and they either banish her or turn her into a tree — I haven’t decided.

Arthur bids that the spirits be allowed to pass on. Guin has a heartfelt goodbye with her parents, and Kay apologizes for what he did under Mim’s curse. Then all seven of them pile into the boat and head back to Camelot for Arthur’s birthday party.

And that's what I've got. What do you think should be kept, changed or dropped? Mostly, I need ideas for what to put into the fillers, to make the story stretch.
