  • utter fuckin bullshit to the disney corporation more on money than that of the fans. the special edition they promised, with two discs did not and WILL NOT come out, either on regular dvd or blue-ray, you know why? theyd rather have us sink our teeth into 3D thank u Katzenberg u fuck

  • the move was good i like it

  • This film got overshadowed at the box office by "Back to the Future"...

    ...very similar to what happened with "The Secret of NIMH", getting over shadowed by "E.T."

  • is it just me, or does his hair color randomly swap between red and brown?

  • I hope the deleted scenes are part of the movie and not merely in the deleted scenes section.

  • I love this movie but it scares me! Yet I still love it!!

  • @peterfinnfilms yes of course it was a great movie.

    UNDERRATED FOR NO REASON!

  • Got this edition yesterday. I love this movie. Princess elionwy she be a major Disney princess like Belle and cinderella she's gorgeous

  • why the key to a magical cauldron is a pig

  • Check "The Little Mermaid" when Eric harpoons the sea witch. The blood is black like ink, but she does get wounded. Also "Sleeping Beauty", Philip's thrown Sword of Truth imbeds in the dragon's heart and the wound drips with blood. I'll have to check Pocahontas again when the brave takes a bullet. Of course, you are not including any live-action movies...

  • Only Disney Movie with blood. woooooo lol

  • I just bought the 25th Anniversary Edition of The Black Cauldron, it's got only one deleted scene, which contains the Fairfolk. I hope The Special Edition has more...This movie is not just popular for being "underrated" but also going through quite a bit of editing to make it more "suitable" to Disney standards anyway....

  • @KinkyCreamPuffJ

    Um... I think the 25th Anniversary Edition IS the Special Edition.

  • @peterfinnfilms Yeah, I know that now. LoL! Honestly with Disney it's hard to keep track. Before they came out with the 25th Anniversary Edition, There was The Gold Edition, and I'm pretty sure a regular DVD, so they're are three different DVDs of The Black Cauldron. All with pretty much the same content. I had just bought the Special Edition when I saw this and thought another one was (Possibly a 2 disc set) that would give us more special features but no.

  • @KinkyCreamPuffJ

    Actually, there are only two DVDs, the 25th Anniv. Ed. and the Gold Collection DVD.

  • @peterfinnfilms Actually, they're are three. LoL Two official and one "official" bootleg. The Bootleg doesn't count obviously but it's out there. I thought Disney released 3 different ones but no. Like I said with Disney it's hard to keep track. They release and re-release with the special,anniversary,gold or diamond editions and "vault" then "unvault". I'm just glad they released on DVD to begin with.

  • blu-ray?

  • I hate how Disney has brutally ignored this film ever since its premiere. It´s a crime against humanity that beautiful Eilonwy is not perceived as an A-list Disney princess.

  • @torhjelm

    Can you really blame Disney, though? It was a HUGE bomb at the box office.

  • @peterfinnfilms The success of any film is ultimately down to two things: It's innate quality and the amount of promotion. Clearly Disney didn't promote the film enough for it to really make some money, despite the excellent reviews, it lost to the Care Bears movie of all things.

    Disney could easily make a legitimate sequel. It's common practice these days to give a film with either critical or commercial success another shot with a sequel and they based this movie on only two of the books.

  • @MrLunitunz

    I'm not saying it deserved to bomb. I'm saying it's not surprising Disney has ignored it so considering how big of a bomb it was. But what do you mean, "excellent reviews"? It has a 57% on RT. That's hardly a ringing endorsement.

  • @peterfinnfilms Look at who's giving good reviews. Roger Ebert, the critic who could literally make-or-break a film, give it 3 1/2 stars out of 4. And most of the people who said it was bad said it was so because it was either too dark or not dark enough

    And this isn't the worst film Disney ever made, Disney made far worse and they continue to stand by those films. There are six novels, plenty of material to cannibalise to give this movie a sequel and thus another shot, and it deserves one.

  • @MrLunitunz

    I know Ebert liked it, but Siskel didn't. It got a few good reviews from well respected critics, but overall reaction to it was generally pretty mixed. And I'm not saying it was a bad film (although it was flawed); I actually enjoyed it. And I agree, Disney has definitely made worse movies. The Aristocats, Dinosaur, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, etc. But I'm not sure the movie deserves a second shot: even 25 years after its release, it's still pretty obscure.

  • @peterfinnfilms A few good reviews is all you need really.

    With all this remake and reboot culture that surrounds Hollywood these days, a well-promoted, honest to goodness sequel to an obscure film would be more than welcome. Like I said, there's plenty of material, six books. All we need really is an executive who liked and will champion it, and the loyal consumers to drum up interest by buying the film. It could work!

  • Are those deleted scenes THE deleted scenes? The ones that were cut all those years ago? I hope so. I love this film.

  • In the book, Eilonwy has red hair... Eh oh well ^_^ GURGI FTW!!!!! I lovez Gurgi :D

  • In my opinion, Disney never should gotten the rights to this movie. Sure, it's great, but it just doesn't do the books justice. It doesn't even follow the story! I wish Disney wouldn't make movies after book series. I mean, look at the Chronicles of Narnia: the first movie was amazing, but the second one was just terrible. Caspian respected Peter in the book. In the movie, they hate each other. And what's with the Caspian an Susan? Yeah Disney, let's just make up random stuff cuz we CAN>

  • This better come out soon! I really want to see those deleted scenes! This is an awesome movie!

  • Oh, my gosh! I never even heard of this movie! After all these years of watching classical Disney movies and I never even heard of this one?!? Must of been one of the oldest Disney movie ever made.

  • do you know the actual release date? causee i went to the website and its saying it does not exsist. has it already gone on dvd?

  • Thanks for posting this! Pity about the aspect ratio, but still exciting :)

  • i bought the dvd (Its out in belgium sinds the 18th of august), and i am verry dissapointed. Their is 1 deleted scene called the fairefolk, and its not even completely  finished. On the back of the dvd it sais deleted scenes, but their is only one!! Nothing of the infamous scenes. I hope it does come out some day, becuase this version is just a rip-off!!

  • DELETED SCENES?!?!

    Any of the infamous ones?!

  • I am very excited about this Disney's project (The Snow Queen is scheduled to 2013). Because it has some people that worked in other great Disney animations:

    Written by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King)

    Produced by Don Hahn (Beauty and the Beast, Lion King)

    Score composer Alan Menken (Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin)

    Directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan)

    Btw, The Snow Queen is a fairytale created by the danish Hans Christian Andersen (The L. Mermaid)!

  • @oopaulorafael

    Hey I thought that disney had shelved the project.

  • @pixargod The infos about TSQ's release are not sure indeed...

    Hopefully thy wont shelve this project... i think if Disney Animation put the best efforts in TSQ, it will be another masterpiece like Beauty and the Beast or The Lion King.

  • @oopaulorafael

    Also it might possibly if we are lucky, launch another renaissance era for disney in maybe a decade or two.

  • @pixargod Indeed! Remember the 80s?

    Disney suffered with box office failures and in the end (1989), started a Renaissance with a film directed by Clements & Musker (The L. Mermaid).

    Look at now, Disney suffered with fails but went to the top again with TPATF (directed by Clements & Musker!)

    TSQ is about the struggle between good and evil as experienced by a little boy (Kay) and girl (Gerda).

    The title character is the main antagonist, who kidnaps the boy Kay. Gerda goes for his rescue.

  • Classic adventure? This movie is SO underatted. I didn't even hear of it until like last year. Why is this the case anyways?

  • Looks like this finally comes out on September 14th! Disney better put some good special features on there, a documentary on the film would be nice.

  • So is this coming now in June 2010 or September 2010? I read both options now. And will it be the "uncut" version finally??

  • At this point Disney might be running out of classic animated films they can re release in special edition

  • disney and tim burton should make a live action version of this, so they can let it be PG-13

    ...or heck, maybe even release it on miramax so it can be rated R

  • ...or if not tim burton, henry selick should do it!

  • @CrazyAijee Tim Burton actually worked on this movie with Disney.

  • Its been Spring 2010 wheres the movie!???

  • @1990SuperGeek I'm extremely excited for this DVD... and its been delayed for almost 2 years now. But in the latest Disney DVD/Blu-ray releases, this trailer has been showing up in the sneak peak portions, which means it is not being scrapped... and it has been reported that it will be released this Fall. I'm hoping it will actually be this fall, and not delayed yet again. Signs are pointing to it actually being released this year, however. 

  • delete scenes? disney just keeps making me happier and happier first they go back to 2-D animation with the princess and the frog next i find my other favorite disney move on dvd (the great mouse detective it's so under appericiated like this one) and now i get a special edition of my favorite disney film i'm begienning to love you again even though you left tim burton create that aweful alice in wonderland movie

  • Eilwony is the most beautiful cartoon ever <3

  • they might be doing a dvd/blu-ray set that includes both the cut and uncut versions of the film and remember if the deleted scenes are as graphic as the rumours say then the advisory board could give it a 15 or 18 certificate

    they should include a severe warning sticker to the dvd/br so the parents can be fore-warned and maybe a short introduction to the film by a disney representive or maybe 2 seperate sets cut dvd/br and uncut dvd/br

  • @Glynreaper08 a "uncut/ director's cut" would be incredible, if they would also include a lot of behind-the-scenes special features, it would be an amazing dvd

  • I"m so looking forward into getting that DVD release, and it's one of my top favorite Disney animated classics. :D

  • I have to admit, it is a very good movie on Disney's part.

    The only thing that disappoints me is how they portray Dallben, Fflewddur Fflam, Gurgi and the Fair Folk. Dallben is shown differently to how he was described. Fflam is a bard-king in the books, in his mid to late thirties. I pictured Gurgi a little bit like a sasquatch, as then he would be scary. The Fair Folk were not completely fairies: Doli was a dwarf.

    Also, the movie is titled after the -second- book in the series of five books.

  • @madsqueaky

    > the movie is titled after the -second- book in the series of five books.

    The movie was based on the first two books. In the book series, the Horned King and the Black Cauldron appeared in books one and two respectively. I suspect "The Horned King and the Black Cauldron" would have been too much of a mouthful for a movie title. :)

  • I heard that this will be release June 2010. Is it true? And if it is, do you know of an exact date on when in june? ^_^

  • Did this come out already??

  • Now that I'm seeing this again, the boy reminds me of Hiccup.

  • @Faunatik Taran and Hiccup - Two scrawny underage boys hoping to be warriors and not lame apprentices for the rest of their lives, wind up with deranged unknown critters as best friends, and somehow manage to save lives and live happily ever after. HTTYD has references to many movies, most of which are owned by Disney and this is one of 'em. HTTYD is so successful because it has little Disney-Pixar magic. Although the movie's originality is 0,5/5 while most of the other stuff are 5/5

  • Fantasia would be better.

    None of this waiting till after Beauty & The Beast business.

    Stupid Disney.

  • Has anyone ever noticed that halfway through the movie, Tarren's voice gets deeper? I'm just wondering if it's just me, or if Grant whats-his-name hit puberty during the making or something...:)

  • The Black Cauldron is one of the best disney movies ever, but The Black Cauldron is certainly the most sinister of all disney movies.

  • the move itself: WIN!

    the movie's theatrical release: FAIL

    the movie's vcr release: FAIL

    the movie's dvd release: FAIL

    too bad, this was an awesome (and pretty grown up) disney movie ^^

  • Walt Disney's Classic Adventure,

    that only a handful of people know about.

    It is definitely A Cult Classic Adventure. I'm glad they're releasing it finally! A great and underrated movie!

  • I Loved This Movie!

  • The commercial is on the Princess and the Frog dvd and blu-ray.. meaning its still coming out and will be out this year! Hope you guys didn't lose hope. :D

  • Cool, thank you Sooo much for saying that this commercial was on the PatF(Princess and the Frog)DVD/Blu-Ray! :) Bummer it doesn't give an exact date on when in june though :( Still, glad to hear that! :)

  • This movie is not Horrible, but it does have a lot a problems. Their is a reason why its not a memorable movie, or a classic. Cause its not. For one thing the movie drags on. The Main Villien looks cool and everything, but he does nothing. The few times we see him, He walks walks around, Sits on a thrown, and casts a spell in the cauldren.

  • OMG this is my favorite disney movie of all time, I lost the VHS so I need to buy this on DVD!

  • One scene shows a man's throat being sliced and torso I think, and another shows a man being devoured by mist so it will be violent. If you want you can see a picture of the mist devouring a man.

  • right side:

    "bonos features not rated"

    deleted scenes!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Goodness know they'll make it even less "violent and scary."

  • i has this on VHS haha, havent watched it in a long time tho

  • Oh man I loved this movie so much as a kid. I'm so thrilled to see that a special edition is in the works. I'm really curious about the deleted scenes that were apparently too violent for Disney. Original fans of this movie deserve to view the film as it was originally created.

  • the best disney movie ever?? i WILL own this...

  • Is it out or what ?

  • so when is the release now???

  • Please include, you know, "the" deleted scenes. I want to know what disturbed Roy and Katzenberg so much that they knifed the movie at the last minute!

  • this was like the only disney movie that scared me when i was 8. Now that im 16 i would watch it again to see what got me so worked up

  • my dads cousin is the voice of taran :)

  • OMG that's SO COOL!

  • When is the special edition DVD coming out!? I really want a copy!

  • Poor movie, it's one of my favorites... and not only from Disney

  • it is underappreciated, partly because it was the first disney to be a pg, and that was with the scenes cut out i believe, from what i heard the age may have originally been a bit higher, so i am quite eager as to find out what the deleted scenes will be like, also i've always liked this film, its very different from alot of thier other movies

  • What was this posted, a year ago. Yeah, "Coming Soon" my ass...just like "The Adventurs of Pete & Pete Season 3" was "coming soon". I really hope this does come out though, The Black Cauldron is awesome. I saw part of it on tv a few months ago and was pretty amazed at how well rounded it was. And the evil king was beyond awesome.

  • @ElCondor2529 It's Coming out in June (hopefully)

  • Know when in June? After discovering it's coming out on DVD, i've been wanting to watch it ever since! :P

  • Disney should release The Black Cauldron for the movie's 25th anniversary on DVD and Blu-Ray as well as in theaters.

  • Crunchies and munchies for Gergie. Can't wait!!! I'm super excited about this.

  • This is a great step in the right direction for Disney. I've been wanting this one. It's one of my favorite Disney films, and definitely one of the most underrated. I'm also interested in seeing the deleted scenes.

    But why can't Disney also give us a Hunchback special edition?

  • A very underrated and underraprciated movie. So much so, that it wasn't even released on video for 15 freakin years!

  • @bluethunder25 I agree completely. A very underrated movie. After seeing Black Cauldron, I went out and read the series the movie was based on. It would be interesting if they made the movie today instead of back in the 80's, now that women have more prominent roles in animated films. Eilonwy had much more to do in the book which was toned way down for the movie.

  • I love the logo myself, but thts me. It has an old quality to it.

  • i think they should have kept the origional logo. either way i'm definately buying this i loved it

  • I liked the movie, but is a seriously bad trailer in my opinion

  • The Black Cauldron is one of the best disney movies ever

  • I agree...it was very underappreciated when it was released.

  • @92af Yeah i agree! This is my favourite ever Disney film, but a suprisingly small number of people have ever seen it! I just get blank looks when i mention it.

  • @92af well im sold i'll be getting it from amazon tonight XD i can't belive I never heard of this film

  • Lloyd Alexander and C.S. Lewis both were amazing authors. This being my opinion.- people are weird on here so hafe to watch what I say.

  • Love the new logo, love it.

  • I have the book and love the movie. I just wish disney would blu-ray this wonderful film already but.......... o well lol

  • They will, next June. Gotta feel sorry for Eilonwy. Had the film been a hit, she could have been signing autographs and posing for photos at Disney World. Gurgi and the others as well.

  • Its not coming to blu-ray just dvd....bummer!

  • I had this video when I was younger but I think it got put in a box to the Salvation army or something xD.

    On a sidenote: Its rather uncanny at how much the old guy (can't remember his name) looks like Gaius from Merlin.

  • They should do a Great Mouse Detective Special Edition DVD.

  • I think they are. I'm not really sure.

  • I know.

  • not really, i like this one better

  • This is going to be real good.

  • i will totally buy it ! i want the deleted scenes D:<

  • I've heard this has been postponed indefinitaly

  • This title will be released in Spring 2010. For some reason it was delayed from a Spring 2009 release.

  • how come taran's vocie sounds different in the traielr?

  • It shouldn't sound different. This trailer uses the audio direct from the film, there us no re-dubbing.

  • then i guess his voice must of change during the movie,cus eit sounds alot older,then that young kid,vocie i herd...so thats weird....then agian...Disney,does make some really good Dark films, like Saw,and other the black culdren,looks amazing!!!

  • yep spring 2010!!! you seem to know alot about Disney,and this film,do you work for disney?

  • No, lol I do not work for Disney. I just know a few people. I do not post false information. So if I know something to be a fact, like the release date for this DVD, I'll post it.

  • @MikeDV101 sept 2010

  • I'm just hoping this edition will be worth waiting for and that Disney will also release Song of the South at last (ask Obama if he finds that movie offensive) , new 2-disc editions of The Hunchback and Hercules as well as uncut versions of Make Mine Music and Melody Time (I guess the Disney studio must have a lot of material they could add to the future editions of the 40's classics , especially The Three Caballeros) ...and I would love a Ludwig Van Drake dvd !!!

  • i just love how he sez "SOOON the BLACK CAAAAULDRON WILL BE MIIINE...."

  • john hurt at his very best

  • yay! this is going to be realesed 3 or 4 months ago!!!!! ... uhhh wait a sec ..... nevermind ...... 8 months from now!!!

    =D

    I love how the advertising campain for the mouse lost some contact with the creative teams .... Nightastic and the new dragon being a very good example =P

  • great disney film, its in my top 3!!!!!

    cant wait for this!!!!!!!!

  • Cool!

  • It is amazing on how Disney said this DVD would be coming out this month and the date was never revealed.

    I have been waiting for a Anamorphic Widescreen DVD of The Black Cauldron.

  • Disney has announced a release date of June 2010 for this Special Edition.

  • heh, always wanted to see the deleted scenes that would've almost given Disney an R rating....XD

    though oddly enough, that one image of a deleted scene when that dude basically melted from the green smog reminds me too much about Rob Zombie's artwork...O.o

  • i know it says coming soon, but how soon? has it already come out?

  • Even if this movie was not a big success, it was interesting enough to make me wanna read the entire Prydain Chronicles. Yes, there are differences between the movie and the book, but movie versions are always different. But sometimes I wished that Disney would have made it into five seperate movies based on the book titles. The ending of The High King left me in tears as I play "Into the West" from the LOTR soundtrack.

  • My favourite Disney film.

  • loved this when i was a kid!!!!!!!! hope it does come out in special edition?????

  • Comment removed

  • Just letting everyone who was excited about this (like I was) The DVD seems to have been canceled, for the most part anyway, My guess is they are waiting for a blu-ray release now.

    Disney even took down the site -_-

  • It's important top remember that Disney never announced a release date for this title, nor did they ever put the site in the trailer online. The site was never online, so no one took it down. Disney just never launched it. The release has obviously been delayed, but it hasn't been canceled. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

  • I have a question. Where did you find this trailer?

  • On the Disney DVD release "Secret of the Magic Gourd". It can found on several recent Disney DVD releases.

  • It's a dream who come true !5/5

  • I really hope Disney goes all out on this release. Like totally restoring and remastering it into HD Anamorphic WideScreen.

    Unfortunately some recent releases like

    The Sword In The Stone 45th Anniversary Edition,

    Oliver N Company 20th Anniversary Edition, and Lilo And Stitch Big Wave Edition did NOT have any work done to make the quality of the movies better.

  • I guess this is probably a redundant question, but does anyone know if the special edition's coming out in Australia in August also? 'cause none of the major DVD sites here have any info. Thanks.

  • I'm so looking foreward to buying B;lack Cauldron Special Edition on Disney DVD soon.

  • what are these deleted scenes?

  • anime level violence

  • Okay, so I don't buy this on DVD here in Finland, cause there is a special edition coming? ;) I want to buy that. ;>

  • I read at wikipedia that the black cauldron will come out in August and it will be called: THE BLACK CAULDRON: DARKSIDE EDITION.

  • you really shouldn't trust everything Wikipedia says. Disney has not set a scheduled release date yet. As of right now it seems the Special Edition of this film will be released by October.

  • I would forgive Disney for even High School Musical and the Jonas Brothers if they included the bisected villager and dissolving man deleted scenes XD

  • and the princess getting her clothes ripped off

  • Yeah me too !

  • who told you about those scenees

  • I read about them in several places, they're fairly well known. Unfortunately it's doubtful they'll be on the DVD. More likely is that it'll be the deleted song.

  • I had heard about them as well...I wish they would put them on a dvd...they can always have a warning...I know there was a deleated scene in exoricist that you can only see online.

  • Well, there's no songs in The Black Cauldron. Except for the part where the princess is fixing the bard's pants, but it's only for a couple of seconds.

  • Yep, but there was one that was deleted from the final movie.

  • Hmmm ... deleted scenes ....

    if they plan to put in all of the deleted scenes then you have over an hour of a movie that never got finished ,a musical number (shocking I know) ,an alternate ending , and scenes so graphic that I bet the "Disney Vault" has another chamber in the very back with 18 difrent locks just for them ...

    but I bet we'll only get a third of all that ...

    =P

    but it looks like they cleaned up some of the glitchy animation =D

    thats a plus

  • is this special edition really coming out? or is disney just getting us all excited again, for thewir plans to release another film to dvd, all to change their minds and push the release date back

  • OMG !!! Finally a SPECIAL EDITION with SLIPCOVER !!!!! I'm happy

  • >_> ... should I be ashamed of the fact that I've never even heard of this b4? T^T Maybe I'm just too distracted by modern junk to notice the timeless classics of past generations :3

  • nah don't be ashamed if you havent herd of it Disney trys to shelf this one as much as they can , waiting almost 15 years to put it on VHS and 10 for DVD ... it's one of the most uncommented by the Disney Company so this "speacal edition" should be eather disapointing or quite interesting ... =]

  • OHHH! No one has heard of this movie! It makes me upset! YOU'RE MISSING OUT! Oh, its SO AMAZING. I can't begin to explain my love for this movie!

  • No this is a film that had kind of been over looked by the disney film industry along with song of the south.

  • Song of the south is over looked beacuse of legal reasons. Although remeiance still remains. The "Law" considered it minorly prejudiece and its sarcastic racial comments. So its only over looked for legal reason. But in Disney World Splash Moutain has the characters in it. That ride almost made me throw up. Im terrfied of heights. Back to the topic, black cauldron is overlooked beacuse it was a flop and it just is.

  • "A Brave Warrior"

    "A Beautiful Princess"

    "An Evil Emperor"

    Star Wars? No THE BLACK CAULDRON!

    This looks very cool, but I'm also waiting for the Hunchback Platinum Edition! It's long overdue!

  • lol i thought star wars at that part 2.

  • And this is when the fans say, "About bloody time!"

    And the deleted scenes :P I wonder if they're including the harsh scenes, if so I'm proud of Disney.

  • i highly doubt it. with the scenes so graphic, theres no way in hell Disney would put them up

  • I will be, too =3

  • I used to watch this VHS film when I was a kid, and now I realise where they had taken the plt from...

    Too many similarities with The Lord of The Rings, don't your think?

    <
