Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios part 6

[OurGangFan]

The director of both The Fox & The Hound and The Black Cauldron later directed The Swan Princess.

I don't understand why they didn't just re-release the Black Cauldron, I'll bet today it'll do better than it did in the 80's. Last year, Disney's number 1 competitor released an animated film that seems to fit the same genre, but was WAY more successful at the box-office and critics and I LOVED it!!

Guess what movie I'm referring to...

[Harlemlate]

I wonder what would happen if Tim Burton does a remake of The Black Cauldron. I bet it would be a much better success than the 1985 Abomination. Worst movie I ever did see.

[twilightangel004]

The Rescuers. It did have of hearts didn't it.

The Fox and The Hound. I didn't know it had mix feelings because they say it's a big time classic.

The Black Cauldron. My brother loves that movie and he just read the books.

The Great Mouse Detective. That's my favorite underrated Disney movie ever.

[Nsanity96]

You actually pronounced all those names right. Unless that was part of the joke.

[Silverstar1311]

I saw the Fox and the Hound in second grade havn't seen it seice then i really don't want to because it depressed me.

[godzilla964]

I saw a blu ray set of the fox and hound and the second one too.

[dudeclub92]

I believe The Great Mouse Detective had better computer graphics than the other ones you were talking about. The other hand I wasn't sure The Rescuers has most gross in box office than other ones in this video.

[panda19056]

I liked the black cauldron sooo much better than the great mouse detective! I think it was because it was more unique and there was lots of action while the great mouse detective wasnt really anything new

[oldorchard1000]

1970-1988 DARK AGE MY ASS!! this era contains my all time favorite disney films, granted the golden age 1950-1967 was great but i think that it was over rated and personaly i actully loved the don bluth films and i dont think there even was a "dark age" with disney, just films that are great just underrated

[gurlie1275]

@oldorchard1000 actaully it was lol not only cuz disney died but no movies were produced successfully until the little mermaid came out which was successful one of 2 princess movies that took disney out of its slump (the other oone being the princess and the frog)

[Ahturos]

That explains a little, I just saw Taran & TBC and felt that the Horned King was just a treat but not a character, if he was more involved in either catching Taran or chasing him, then just let him find the culdron and then boom.

Basil one of the scary ones too I still laughed at that film, specialy when only the bad guys sings. Fox and the Hound, cry friendship born to die. So sad, my sister can´t even see the movie anymore becuse how sad it is.

[FlippytheMasterofPie]

Technically the Great Mouse Detective was the first to use WIREFRAME animation, because the Black Cauldron only used it for special effects like sparkles and smoke.

[yahooeny]

At least The Black Cauldron isn't AS disowned by Disney as Song of the South. I can imagine it now... Producer: "Yo guys!" Executives: "Sup." Producer: "You remember Black Cauldron?" Execs: *gasp* Producer: "You remember?" Exec1: "Remember what?" Exec 2: "We can't hear you!" Producer: " But I'm right he-" Exec1: "Sorry can't hear you!" Producer: "But-" Execs: "Lalalalalala we can't hear you! Lalalalalala..."

[missgStar05]

I love the Great Mouse Detective and the Fox and the Hound! <3 Those are two of my all time favorite Disney animated movies, and yet sadly, a majority of people I talk to have never heard of these films :(

[panda19056]

I used to hate the black cauldron when I was younger because it gave me nightmares :p

[rockerdog167]

And here I was always thinking Bianaca was French. xD *pan'd*

[RingoandCarlin]

@rockerdog167 Same here.

[clashrogers]

Jim Jordan actually retired after he voiced Orville in The Rescuers and he died in 1988.

[GilliesL]

i wish 'an american tail' failed. I love Basil the Great Mouse Detective! It could have been so popular!

[RingoandCarlin]

@GilliesL I love The Great Mouse Detective too, a lot more than American Tale. I guess some people don't know what's best in art and movies.

[F1315NJ]

You forgot to mention about a deleted scene where a henchman melts from the mist of the cauldron.

[thedarksaviour755]

I actually like the Black Cauldron

[Arachi123]

@thedarksaviour755 So dose my sis

[GCmediacourse]

I like basil the great mouse detective

[migueldelajose13]

0:15 looks like mario in the green tube

[brermeerkat]

@migueldelajose13 is that so?

[phantombadgirl]

basil the great mouse detective one of the most underated disney films

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

I watched The Black Cauldron myself. Flop indeed!

[MrTristo99]

Your reaction to Tim Burton working on Fox and the Hound was priceless!

[Barclay1987]

Cool!

[itsatwinthing4]

i love the great mouse detective the fight at the end is one of my favorite parts.

[baxterfilms]

John Pomeroy helped out Don Bluth a lot on 'The Secret of Nimh' in terms of story and animation.

[cartoonexpert]

@baxterfilms A lot of the animation in the 1986-1995 Don Bluth films look like Pomeroy's animation, in those films, I rarely see any difference in the animation. What do u think? Plus I saw one of the early designs of John Smith, and it has that "Bluth" look to it...
