Overlooked classic.

By thebishmeister from Brizzle

The Black Cauldron

Starring Nigel Hawthorne, John Hurt, Freddie Jones

Director Ted Berman, Richard Rich, Ted

Genres Children

Run time 77 mins Certificate U

Amazing animation and characterisation make this Disney's most undervalued animated classic. The dark elements really take you to places that other animated 'family' movies fear to tread.
