by befus  in Movies,  - Top 1000, Nov 23 '09
Pros: Some good voice work and creative moments of animation
Cons: Pretty much everything else (especially uneven tone and botched adaptation)
I recently viewed Disney's 1989 animated film Little Mermaid. Many people note that movie as the beginning of a "renaissance" for Disney animation. The word makes you sit up. Was Disney's ...

Pros: good moral
Cons: probably won't hold interest like most Disney movies
A while back, I wrote a review of "Sleeping Beauty" proclaiming it to have the most frightening villain of all the animated Disney features. I have finally seen "The Black Cauldron," and it may be time for me to retract my claim. This...

Pros: Some brilliant animation effects.
Cons: Confusing story. Over 'Disneyfication' of characters.
My attempts to turn my home rehearsal studio into a private ice rink, in order to prepare routines for my new Aida on Ice, have not worked out as well as I had hoped. Mr. Brad, my interior designer, promised me a floor of ice, smooth as glass,...

Pros: Top rate animation, truly likeable characters, purely evil villain, wonderful lessons
Cons: Too short, too urgently edited to be fully enjoyed
I first read Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles when I was in the fifth grade; I fell into his world of Welsh lore and archetypal themes as I have fallen into no literary world since. I've read these five books several times in the decades...

Pros: Fast-paced adventure.
Cons: Not for younger children: scary.
It is important to note that this is not your father's (or mother's) Disney animated movie. After some difficulty hitting the right audience for their films, Disney had tried a movie for younger children (Winnie the Pooh) that had been successful, and ...

Pros: Dark, Haunting, smooth animation. No Songs!!! Horned King is awesome!
Cons: Stupid animal sidekick, blah art/character designs. Movie is a bit too quick
Because I normally write review of anime (Japanese Animation), I have a lot of references to anime in my review. For more information on anime read my two-part article on anime compared to American animation at

Pros: Detailed animation, incredible special effects
Cons: Rather lifeless characters hurt the story
Forget The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Black Cauldron still remains as Disney's one and only true dark and mature animated movie. Like The Fox and the Hound before it, The Black Cauldron follows very little of the traditional Disney formula, which may...

Pros: a darker movie
Cons: charecters aren't the greatest
I rented the black cauldron when I saw it on Xbox live. Not having seen the movie before I decided to jump in and see if it was any good, the first Disney movie to get a PG rating and the only one in the 80’s and early 90’s not to get a real VHS ...

Pros: good animation
Cons: tense, gloomy, ghoulish, and scary story
I saw this one at the theatre 15 years ago, it seems, and I doubt it's gotten any better with time. The first PG-rated Disney animated feature, it's one of those rare films that makes you drop your jaw and utter, "What the . . .?" (Fill in...

Pros: Beautifully animated, dark Disney film.. not your mother's Cinderella!
Cons: Story falters a bit, a wee bit tense for YOUNG children
Disney's 1985 Opus 'The Black Cauldron' is not for everyone. in fact, its not for many. But, if you're a big fan of Disney animation or animation in general, it is a must see.
At the time it was produced, Cauldron was the most expensive...

Pros: interesting bad guy
Cons: too violent
Scarey witches, evil Lords and a fairy tale ending.. but would I let a younger child watch it... Not on your life.
This is an animation by Disney that I would have to say is not for the whole family. Old style of animation wraps you into a...

Pros: its a disney movie
Cons: scares children
I buy all the Disney movies for my son who is three years old when they come out. With kids they will watch these movies hundreds of times each and quite often three or five times in a row.
No matter how many times my son has watched this movie he...

Pros: Great colors and plot!
Cons: Not much warning about graphic (death) content
In true Disney style, this movie is full of beautiful color, and scenes that spark the imagination. This can be both good and bad as I found out! This movie deals with the "underworld" unlike any other Disney film I have seen. The "horned...

Pros: Stayed true to the book. Great animation
Cons: scared the kids
All my friends said I was crazy, Disney never released a spooky movie called The Black Cauldron. Now I may be a little absent minded, but I knew this movie was made, and I had seen it in the theatre when it was released. Granted it had a short run, I...
