DISNEY - BLACK CAULDRON, THE(1985)
I put off watching this movie for 35 years! My
impression from everything I'd heard about it
that it was a terrible movie! Wrong!! This is
a great movie, albeit maybe not for very young
children! But I feel that most teens and adults
will thoroughly enjoy this! A
A review from Amazon:
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander which
include THE BLACK CAULDRON were among my favorites
books when I was younger. I remember seeing this movie
when it first came out and I hated it because the only thing
this movie has in common with the books are the names of
the characters. I say the names of the characters, because
for the most part, the characters portrayed in this movie are
nothing like the characters in the book. I am now an adult,
and I recently re-read the books and rented this DVD. I knew
the movie would be nothing like the books this time and
discovered the movie to be a good but dark adventure. So
the bottom line is... If you are expecting this movie to reflect
any characters or plots from the books, you will be very
disappointed. If you want a Disney adventure movie, it's fine.
However, it is too intense for young children! - By A Customer
