Story:

The Black Cauldron (also known as Taran and the Magic Cauldron) is a 1985 American animated dark fantasy adventure film released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 25th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, it is loosely based on the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, a series of five novels which in turn is based on Welsh mythology.

Set in the mythical land of Prydain during the dark ages, the film centers on the evil Horned King who hopes to secure an ancient magical cauldron and rule the world with its aid. He is opposed by a young pig keeper named Taran, Princess Eilonwy, the bard Fflewddur Fflam, and a wild creature named Gurgi who seek to stop him by destroying it.

The film is directed by Ted Berman and Richard Rich, who had directed Disney\'s previous animated film The Fox and the Hound (1981). It features the voices of Grant Bardsley, Susan Sheridan, Freddie Jones, Nigel Hawthorne, John Byner, and John Hurt. It was the first Disney animated film to receive a PG rating. The film was released theatrically by Buena Vista Distribution on July 24, 1985 to negative critical reviews and was a Box office bomb. Following its release, Disney disowned the film for many years and did not give it a home video release until 1998. The film has since gained a cult following.
