A film buried deep in the history of Disney and something so utterly different from anything devised by them before. A much darker story with real threat and some truly frightening images; particularly anything pertaining to the undead army of the Horned King. Extraordinary hand drawn animation and some actual threats befalls out young hero, that makes him bleed, as he ventures through his mythical world in search for the infamous Black Cauldron before it falls into the evil imagining of the Horned King. A commercial failure and it unfortunately frightened Walt Disney off from doing anything other than the classic musical pieces that they are so known for; The Black Cauldron will prove to be both brave and beautiful, and a perfect fit for courageous children who want to be immersed in a new world, and it's also inspired by a collection of fantasy books for a child that loves to read.
