Taran is an assistant pigkeeper with boyish dreams of becoming a great warrior. However, he has to put the daydreaming aside when his charge, an oracular pig named Hen Wen, is kidnapped by an evil lord known as the Horned King. The villain hopes Hen will show him the way to The Black Cauldron, which has the power to create a giant army of unstoppable soldiers. With the aid of a stubborn princess, an exaggerating bard, and a pestering creature called Gurgi, Taran will try to save the world of Prydain from the Horned King. As the new friends face witches, elves, magic swords, and the Cauldron itself, Taran starts to learn what being a hero really means and that some things are more important than glory.
This is the story of a young man named Taran, who is an assistant pig keeper with boyish dreams of becoming a great warrior. Hen Wen, a magical oracular pig, is kidnapped by an evil lord known as the Horned King. The villain hopes Hen will show him the way to The Black Cauldron, which has the power to create a giant army of unstoppable soldiers. With the aid of a stubborn princess, named Princess Eilonwy an exaggerating bard, and a pestering creature called Gurgi, Taran will try to save the world of Prydain from the Horned King. Taran and his new friends embarks on a quest to find the dark magic Black Cauldron the item of ultimate power before a diabolical tyrant The Horned King can.
The story of the black cauldron is essentially concerned with the very real threat of evil and this dark atmosphere makes for interesting viewing. Unlike most other Disney films this one offers few moments of light relief and thus begs the question is this a film suitable for children under five? However, its uncompromising, unsentimental darkness elevates it in my view above the more common fare usually dished out by those in the animation trade. The story itself is sometimes patchily told -too much has been compressed into too little time, and often it feels unfortunately cut. This aside the film is to be recommended, not least because it is so little known -compared to, for example, the incredibly rubbishy Lion King or the vomitous Pocahontas.
I saw a short trailer for this cartoon from Walt Disney Pictures, and then I read the interesting trivia that Tim Burton worked as conceptual artist on this film before becoming a successful filmmaker, so I was definitely looking forward to watching it. Basically centuries ago in the land of Prydain, young man Taran (Grant Bardsley) one day dreams of becoming a great warrior, his enchanter master Dallben (Freddie Jones) tells him the secret of why he is assistant pig keeper, Hen Wen is an oracular pig, and holds the secret to the location of the Black Cauldron, which has the power to restore life to the dead, undead souls of course. The boy is forced to go on a journey to save Hen Wen when the pig is kidnapped by the evil skeletal lord The Horned King (John Hurt), who plans to use the power of the Black Cauldron to raise a large army of unstoppable undead slaves and soldiers to take over the world, and the fearsome lord has many minions to stop any intruders who try to get into the castle. Taran is joined in his quest by furry creature companion Gurgi (John Byner) who is small and pestering but reliable, comical middle-aged bard Fflewddur Fflam (Nigel Hawthorne) who tries to help with his poetry and harp playing occasionally, and of course the beautiful Princess Eilonwy (Susan Sheridan) who is his age and stubborn but has bravery. Taran finds a magical sword that helps him fight off the enemies, they encounter the small fairy-like beings called the Fair Folk who help them to locate where the Black Cauldron is, they find the cauldron in the clutches of three witches, Orddu (Eda Reiss Merin), Orgoch (Billie Hayes) and Orwen (Adele Malis-Morey) who will only trade it for the magical sword. They reveal before disappearing that the cauldron is indestructible, and the only way to break it's power it is if someone was to climb into it, but this will also kill whoever does it, none of the companions are willing to do this, so the young man feels hopeless and that the mission may have all been for nothing, and then the nasty soldiers interrupt. They seize the Black Cauldron and The Horned King uses it to raise his army who pour out into the world, the friends are released by Gurgi who jumps into the cauldron himself before Taran can do, the spell of the cauldron is broken and the army collapses, the cauldron goes out of control and eventually consumes and destroys the castle. In the end the three witches take back the now useless cauldron, Fflewddur convinces them to prove their abilities and allow a trade, the cauldron to revive Gurgi, they hand back the magical sword and Gurgi is alive and well, the young man, Eilonwy and the bard journey home together, and Dallben praises Taran as a hero. Also starring Arthur Malet as King Eidilleg, John Byner as Doli and John Huston as Narrator. The mostly British voice cast is well chosen, Bardsley as the young hero, Jones as an enchanter, Hawthorne as an eccentric entertainer, Hurt as a dark villain, Huston giving his narration, and especially Byner who sounds very similar to The Lord of the Ring's Sméagol but is really lovable. You could argue that this cartoon film is like any standard story full of swords and sorcery, and you can tell the animation is perhaps not the same high quality as previous and of course later pictures, but there is no denying that it is a really enjoyable tale for all ages, a fun animated adventure. Good!
Technically brilliant though short on narrative, The Black Cauldron is a painless, old-fashioned way to take out the kids, and a triumph for the animation department at the Disney studio, where it has been in development for almost a dozen years.
