Disney’s DARKEST Animated Film? The Black Cauldron Revisited Join hosts Bryce & Chayce as they descend into the shadows of Disney’s most bizarre and underrated fantasy flick—The Black Cauldron! ☠️ Based on The Chronicles of Prydain novels, this 1985 box-office bomb was so dark that Disney tried to pretend it didn’t exist… but now, it’s a full-blown cult classic. Was it ahead of its time, or just a cauldron of missed potential? Let’s stir the brew and find out!📌 IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:✔️ The Horned King: Disney’s scariest villain or a wasted opportunity? (Spoiler: That jawline haunts us.)✔️ Gurgi vs. Gollum: Who did the “pathetic yet lovable creature” trope better? 🐾✔️ The Animation: Stunningly dark or weirdly inconsistent? (Those dragons deserved BETTER.)✔️ The Witches & Princess Eilonwy: Why do the female characters feel like afterthoughts? 👑✔️ That Pacing: Does this movie drag worse than Taran’s “hero’s journey”?✔️ The Cult Following: Why do fans still defend this film decades later?🎙️ QUOTABLE MOMENTS:💀 "This film has NO CHILL—Disney really said, ‘Kids love necromancy, right?’"💀 "Gurgi is the only character with a full arc, and he’s basically a furry potato."💀 "The Horned King’s voice is 50% ASMR, 50% nightmare fuel."💀 "The Black Cauldron isn’t a movie—it’s a vibe. A weird, disjointed, fascinating vibe."📚 SOURCE MATERIAL VS. MOVIE:We compare the film to Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain books—did Disney butcher the adaptation, or was it doomed from the start? (Spoiler: The books are way darker.)🔮 FINAL THOUGHTS:Is The Black Cauldron a hidden gem or a beautiful disaster? We debate whether Disney should remake it… or leave it buried forever.💬 COMMENT BELOW:💀 "Do you love or hate The Black Cauldron?"💀 "Should Disney remake this or never speak of it again?"💀 "Who’s scarier: The Horned King or Maleficent?"#Disney #TheBlackCauldron #CultClassic #Animation #MovieReview #Podcast #DarkFantasy #80sMovies #HornedKing #DisneyPlus #UnderratedMoviesThis video contains directly referenced clips from the following media as permitted under the fair use doctrine:"The Black Cauldron" (1985) Dir.
