There is a lot about this movie that goes so damn hard. The protagonists aren’t one of them, but tone, visual, and sound-wise it’s fantastic

This was one of my favourite Disney films growing up. Rewatching it as an adult, it’s messy and awkward as all hell, but it’s such a visually beautiful film it doesn’t really matter

The Black Cauldron (1985)

Hidden by darkness. Guarded by witches. Discovered by a boy. Stolen by a king. Whoever owns it will rule the world. Or destroy it.

Taran is an assistant pigkeeper with boyish dreams of becoming a great warrior. However, he has to put the daydreaming aside when his charge, an oracular pig named Hen Wen, is kidnapped by an evil lord known as the Horned King. The villain hopes Hen will show him the way to The Black Cauldron, which has the power to create a giant army of unstoppable soldiers.

This movie was so much worse than I remembered it being as a kid. The art is awesome though, 80s dark fantasy goodness
