Certainly one of the oddities from Disney's darker 80's period. The Black Cauldron is disappointingly bland in it's narrative. Boy must bring back a fortune telling pig, there's evil and there's sidekicks. They get captured, escape, and then get captured again. The villain is par...( read more)

the horned king is the scariest animated villian of all time, this movie was sweet
Definetly not a classic. The Black Cauldron had so many things going for it, but lacked any real humour, adventure, or drama. It seemed like it had been edited to death, as when the movie was over, I felt there must have been a lot of the storyline left on the cutting room floor.
Seriously, this is my favourite Disney movie. It's one of the darker ones, but I had the biggest crush on the main character.
A crush which only grew once I read the book series.
This film is pretty bad ass, though not quite as suitable for younger viewers I think most of them would be scared.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Black Cauldron" !
