TAGS(SPOILERS!)

Time Periods

• Middle Ages (AD 476 to 1454): Even though it has magic, we take Camelot to be in the real middle ages, but we also mark it as being debatable time travel.
• Circa AD 2000 to 2099: based on a date of 2019 in To the Future, Ben Franklin!
• Unspecified Year: The time travel is debatable because the kids go to a land of magic. We need to check whether the land is explicitly set in a particular time period.

Timeline Models

• Single Static Timeline: Within the series, anything the kids do seems to fit known history rather than change it.

Time Travel Methods

• Magic Time Travel
• Wish Travel

Fictional Tags
