The Black Cauldron : 4 of 5
2.02.2001

Even though I'm a Disney fan, I had barely heard about this movie until I read some excellent reviews about the DVD release. The Black Cauldron was supposed to be a Disney epic - actually animated in 70MM (meaning the cells are twice as large) and one of the first films with Dolby sound, it's obvious Disney sank a lot of cash into this one. And, it flopped. It's easy to see why - not because it's a bad movie at all (in fact, it's excellent), but because it isn't Disney - no musical numbers, no talking animals, very few cute creatures (and the main cute creature even dies), and the darn thing is actually scary! (Don't get me started on the dragons nabbing the cute piggie or the Horned King getting his flesh sucked off into the cauldron!) This is a fantastic movie though - just not for Disney kids.
