Review of The Black Cauldron (1985) by Kenny K — 02 Feb 2011
While considered to many, including those who may have worked on 'Cauldron', to be among the worst feature of all disneys animated films, it holds a hidden charm that not even the worst review can tarnish. While younger viewers will most likely have a hard time following the plot, and understanding the characters and their motives, as an adult viewer this film won't fail to impress, if for nothing else then the artistic skill and character design put into it.
Accompanied by Elmer Bernstein's beautiful score, composer for 'Heavy Metal' of all things, The Black Cauldron pulls you in and doesn't let go until the movies heroes move off into the sunset.
Though this film is probably destined to be forever unappreciated, the 'black sheep' of all Disneys classics, those with a true love for fantasy and the art of animation are sure to at least appreciate it, and count it among the best.
