Profile of The Black Cauldron
The Black Cauldron can be described as humorous, tense, and stylized. The plot revolves around curses, spells and rituals, a rescue, and good versus evil. The main genres are adventure, animation, and family. In terms of style, The Black Cauldron is surreal. In approach, it is fantastical. It is set, at least in part, in a palace, castle, or temple. The Black Cauldron is based on a book. It is well suited for a family outing.
Summary of The Black Cauldron
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.
