Disney's 25th full-length animated classic, The Black Cauldron, fills the screen with magic and wonder. This fun-filled tale of heroism overflows with colorful characters, trailblazing animation and nonstop action.
In the mystical land of Prydain, Taran, a young boy who dreams of a future as an invincible warrior, finds himself leading a real-life quest. In a race against the evil Horned King, Taran must be the first to find the mysterious Black Cauldron, or the Horned King will unleash its power and take over the world. With the help of a magic sword, and enchanting princess, and adorable clairvoyant pig and a furry little creature named Gurgi, Taran overcomes winged dragons, the King's monstrous henchmen, three batty witches and more -- and learns nothing is as powerful as courage and friendship.

Not a Disney "classic", but an interesting experience. - 4 out of 5 (4/15/2005)
In 1985, Disney attempted to do a PG-rated swords-and-sorcery animated tale based on a good source material--Lloyd Alexander's CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN.

For fantasy lovers... - 4.25 out of 5 (10/11/2001)
If you like fantasy, wizards, magic, travels; then, you must like this one.
Again this is an oldie movie from Disney, but a good one, the plot is kind of those knights, medieval stories.
The sound is great, as well the video quality, and the extras, well, they're good for kids.
So if you have money, like these kind of movies and want to spend 80 fun minutes, this one is for you.

Great Animation - 4.5 out of 5 (10/4/2000)
Nice to watch 2.35:1 aspect widescreen, bautifully animated story. Doesn't have the usual Disney music entertainment, however, the story and magical imagery are incredible.
