Rating: C- -- It's not a good film, but for one with the reputation of being the studio's worst animated feature, it shows that interesting work is done in it. Full Review

...If you care about animation as an art form, it is impossible not to be thrilled by Disney's THE BLACK CAULDRON...

Rating: B- -- Flawed jumble of a film, but a picture of immense artistic accomplishment and dedication to atypical faces of wickedness...there's still so much to admire about this red-headed stepchild of a film. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- This is the 25th full-length animated feature from Walt Disney studios, and professionally put together as it is, many of the ingredients may seem programmed to those who have seen some of the others. Full Review

The characters, though cute and cuddly and sweet and mean and ugly and simply awful, don't really have much to do that would remain of interest to any but the youngest minds. Full Review

Rating: 7/10 -- It may have cost five times the amount of any other Disney film in the preceding two decades, but by God that money ended up on screen. Full Review

Product Description:

Young would-be warrior Taran searches for the titular magic vessel, lest it fall into the dastardly hands of the evil Horned King and allow him to summon an army of the undead. Fortunately, assisting in his quest are a feisty princess, the furry, friendly Gurgi, and psychic pig Hen Wen. Unusually dark but highly acclaimed Disney fare, released to video thirteen years after its theatrical run. Based on the juvenile fantasy novel by Lloyd Alexander; part of the "Chronicles of Prydain" series. Gold Collection Edition features a spooky bonus cartoon.
