I've watched this film more times than any other movie and it is my favourite of all Disney films. The reason I like this film so much is that it doesn't fall under what I call 'Disney Cliche'. What I mean by it is that all the other Disney movies I've watched followed the same formula. Musicals and cringy stories, where The Black Cauldron was something else.
I give credit to the producers for having the guts to try something new. Yes it almost made the company go bankrupt back in the day. But even to this day i still admire it as the darkest and most awesome fantasy Disney film ever made
