    It's called the film that almost killed Disney, but how much of this animated black sheep is good and how much is not? The Nostalgia Critic takes a look at 1985's Black Cauldron.
    Support this week's charity - grameenfoundation.org/
    The Black Cauldron is a 1985 American animated adventure fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation in association with Silver Screen Partners II and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The 25th Disney animated feature film, it is loosely based on the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, a series of five novels that are, in turn, based on Welsh mythology.

    If they're going to remake this, as some people are suggesting, they should really go back to the source material, The Chronicles of Prydain series, by Lloyd Alexander, an excellent Young Adult fantasy series. The Disney movie is a mish-mash of elements from the first two books, The Book of Three and The Black Cauldron. It explains a lot of things, like why Eilonwy is considered a princess. If the names seem odd, that's because the author mainly drew them from Welsh mythology and legend, which inspired much of the rest of the feel of the series.

      To make good movies from good Books means keeping a balance between, what has to Be changed, and what Must not. They did a good Job in Lord of the Rings and a Bad one on the Hobbit ( though some scenes remained pretty awesome). To Change things is absolutely neccesary, it‘s all about keeping the spirit of the original in Every Adaptation alive, not holding on to every Little detail.

    DM (Furiously rewrites the story): "Fine...you manage to sneak in and even snatch the pig away in your escape, but the army captures you again and throws you into the dungeon. There you meet up with your other companions, who have been captured as well. You may plan your escape now.

    "Pickles" is called Fflewddur Fflam, however the pronunciation of Fflewddur's name is wrong. "Dd" in Welsh is the same as "Ff", both produce the sound "fuh" so the characters pronunciation should be "Flewfur Flam".
    Princess Eilonwy's name is a mix between "Eilon" which means fawn, and "wy" which means water. Also, according to the book's, Eilonwy's parents are dead, making her a queen and not a princess.
    Taran in an earlier version of The Black Cauldron (film) was significantly more violent, using the sword to cut and kill many of the King's guards.
    Gurgi exists because comic relief will forever be the darkest stain of cinema. The character in the book appeared more closer to a monkey and used weapons such as swords and bows.

    I'll stick up for Gurgi.
    He's an obnoxious hairball with no social aptitude. He's also friendly and sociable but desperate for companionship and has little or no sense of self worth. When he finally found someone willing to tolerate him for a few days, he barely hesitates sacrificing himself to save them with no expectation that he'd be brought back, not for the least reason that he believed that he had no friends.
    Seems pretty relatable to someone with depression and social anxiety.

    • @edgyspaceunicorn7215
      @edgyspaceunicorn7215 5 років тому +31

      Also yes thank you. Looking darker doesn’t make it darker. Black Couldron has some dark themes, but never explores them properly.
      In treasure planet despite its light hearted moments actually let’s the death of characters sink in, it truly shows piracy, not the comedic types that were in Peter Pan, and still for all kids in difference from Pirates. Also it includes a “twist” villain that works greatly. Cause John Silver builds a real and emotional connection to Jim and is legitametly likeable and when he betrays Jim it’s not out of nowhere. So I agree, Treasure Planet can be argued as being darker than the Black Couldron.

    Ok, let me clear this mess up. The king from the intro is Arawn, he’s the original villain from the books, the Horned King was just one of his generals. This film is actually two books smashed together, “The Book of Three” and “The Black Cauldron”. One of the most important characters, Gwdion (basically King Arthur) is completely cut out. So is Arawn’s predecessor, Achren, yet another crucial character.. So basically, two books were smashed together, they cut out half the important characters. Arawn is replaced because horns. Yes, because Disney thought villains with horns were cooler, look it up.

    The Black Cauldron is based on a book of a novel series called The Chronicles of Prydain. Here are the elements in the movie vs the elements in the book and the stuff I researched that made them different:
    Movie: Taran lives with Fflewddur Fflam, a farmer/bard
    Book: Taran lives with Dallben, a 379-year-old enchanter and an aged farmer/retired warrior named Coll. Fflewddur Fflam (yes, I had to look his name up) is a king by birth but chooses to be a bard
    Edit: I realized it actually is Dallben in the movie but in my defense him and Fflewddur Fflam look too alike in the movie
    Movie: Princess Eilonwy (yes, I had to look her name up too) has no seemingly royal connection
    Book: Princess Eilonwy is princess of a FAMILY OF ENCHANTRESSES (yes, really and yes, that is made VERY CLEAR)
    Movie: Hen Wen is a farm animal/supposed pet who Taran is to care for, whom he loses while fantasizing
    Book: Taran is to care for Hen Wen due to her prophetic visions, and HE is kidnapped by the Horned King NOT HER
    Movie: Gurgi is introduced after Taran loses Hen Wen
    Book: Gurgi is introduced very early on after (and presumably not as annoying)
    Movie: The Horned King's army currently is dead, and he wishes to use it to raise them
    Book: They're ALREADY undead as the series begins, called the "Cauldron Born" and are relevant for at least two books)
    Movie: Horned King wants the Black Cauldron, and he is the only main antagonist antagonist as a result
    Book: A tyrant named Arawn is the antagonist (at least for the last book) and he wants to conquer the kingdom), whereas the Horned King is only relevant for two of FIVE BOOKS of the series
    EXTRA FUN FACT: The movie the author has stated has nothing to do with the books, but the author thought was pretty entertaining, as well as Roger Ebert who gave it a positive rating
    Pays to read the source material, huh?

      Pretty sure you're right. By the lore, I don't think it would count if you baited/trained any kind of animal to enter the cauldron. Even if the creature entered on its own power, it would need to possess the mental capacity to understand that it will die, what good will come of it, and decide that losing its life is worth the good it will do. Thus any non-sentient being wouldn't count.

    The biggest gripe I had was that Disney tried to condense The Prydain Chronicles into a single film. Written by Lloyd Alexander, the five books of the Prydain Chronicles are based off of Welsh and Celtic legends. The Black Cauldron was only the second book of the five, though the eponymous cauldron was mentioned in nearly all five. The original books are long overdue for a big-screen adaptation, as each book is an epic adventure in it's own right. If only a studio existed that would faithfully adapt the books with proper respect. It certainly won't be Disney, who has made an industry out of bastardizing classic stories in the name of "social justice."

    The Black Cauldron's fatal flaw is lack of conflict. We have a vague but workable goal for the villain. But no real goal for the heroes. Compare this with Fellowship of the Ring. Sauron wants the ring, to plunge the world into darkness. Frodo doesn't want his world plunged into darkness. So both take action to achieve their respective goals. Sauron sends the Nazgul. Frodo takes the ring to Bree, and onward to Rivendell and so on. In Cauldron, the Horned King wants the Cauldron. (It would help if we knew what he needed an undead army over the army he already has.) But what do our heroes want? To keep the pig alive? To stop this Army of Darkness? Good storytelling needs conflict.
    I'd fix it this way. 1) The pig doesn't see the future. He can find anything. Maybe its a truffle hunting pig and that's how its power became know. The Horned King still wants the pig, but its more directly tied to his goals. 2) Make Princess Calla (I refuse to call El by her name because of my long standing feud with the Welsh language) the descendant of the Evil King. Princess or scullery maid doesn't matter. She is linked to the legacy of the cauldron. 3) Start the story with her in the dungeon and she engineers her own escape. In her escape, she comes across Cavin and Chaucer and they WORK together to escape. But Cavin is serious about rescuing the pig. It's only after they escape, that the Horned king makes himself known. He punishes the guards and sends his dragons after them.
    Now you have a story. You have conflict, mystery, action in the escape. now you're good to go.

      Actually Taran wanted to stop the Horned King in the beginning of the movie and was implied that the horned king has been around for a long time causing mayhem. Henwen was just a plot device to not only push Taran into that direction, but also to confirm the cauldron existent since the horned king had doubts about it "so it does exists!" When the horned king finally know the cauldron does exist, Taran wanted to destroy it to prevent the horned king from using it. The conflict for the hero was to stop the horned king from taking over the world by either not confirming the cauldron's existence or destroying the cauldron. Because as stated in the prologue, you can not only raise the army of dead, but also command the army to take over the world, this was shown how that was later in the film when the dead army seems invisible since it can turned living beings into dead skeletons (a scene that was cut out of the film). Also the horned king state this: "How long I have thirst to be a god among mortal men."
      There's more to it than having a story, you also need to be executed well, while your idea may seem like a story it is not guaranteed to be executed well. There is also no significance to your Calla's character either. Since the horned kings knows the pig can find the cauldron, there is no need to keep her alive especially long enough for her to make an escape. A story not only need's conflict, but also, character interaction, character development, climax, exposition, beginning, middle, and end. Your idea only has ideas and a beginning that's it.

      It's kinda weird how that is supposed to be according to the books, actually. She is, in fact, a princess, but she was kidnapped as a baby by an evil sorceress. She never TELLS anyone she is a princess, though. That little tidbit is discovered by her friends later. Eilonwy actually has a very tragic back story.
      The reason for the kidnapping: Eilonwy's family line consists of very powerful female sorcerers wielding incredible magical powers, powers that are passed down mother-to-daughter (her kingdom was a Matriarchy). There are other magic wielders in the world, but the House of Llyr (Eilonwy's family) were truly exceptional. By the time of the Black Cauldron, Eilonwy is actually the last living member of that line, and the ancestral castle (due to an unspecified but relatively recent catastrophe) is about a mile offshore of the island they used to rule and partially flooded. The evil sorceress's plan: Raise Eilonwy to be her own personal magical super weapon and take over the known world.
      At the beginning of the first book in the series (The Book of Three - the Black Cauldron is the immediate follow up to it), Eilonwy believes that the evil sorceress is her Aunt, and they live together at a place called Spiral Castle. Eilonwy knows her "Aunt" is an evil sorceress, and despises her, but what can she do? Family, right?
      So one might ask, if the Sorceresses of the House of Llyr are so powerful, how was Eilonwy kidnapped in the first place? and also why didn't Angharad (Eilonwy's mother) use her awesome powers to find and rescue her daughter? Well to understand that you have to know that in the world of Prydain, magic both requires the caster to have innate magical potential and is realized by using complex incantations and rituals. The Llyr family spells are kept in a spellbook that requires illumination from a special magical light to even be read. Princess Angharad fled her kingdom to elope with a commoner, and took the family spellbook and magic light with her. At some point during their constant game of run and hide from the family, Angharad gave birth to Eilonwy, and her husband died. Rather than go back home and risk the utter rejection of her daughter, Angharad decided to tough it out and she kept her magic use very low-key (likely to avoid being recognized and captured, but this is never explicitly stated). It is at some point during this time that her own mother died and the unspecified disaster happened in the kingdom. It is likely that as far away from home as Angharad had managed to run, she didn't even know about it. And then Eilonwy was kidnapped and Angharad was brutally murdered while trying to find her missing daughter.
      So why didn't Angharad do an "Aw, fuck it" and use her magic before she died to find Eilonwy? Well, Eilonwy's bauble (the glowing ball that follows her around in the movie) IS the magical light required to read the spellbook. The bauble was magically bound to Eilonwy, and when she was kidnapped, the bauble automatically went with her, leaving Angharad with the now useless spellbook. The evil sorceress had assumed that the bauble was all that was required for the family spells and only realized her mistake when it was far too late. The spellbook vanished with Angharad and Eilonwy would not have access to the powerful and unique spells she was heir to. So the evil sorceress went to Plan B and tried to teach Eilonwy her own spells while always looking out for any sign of the lost House of Llyr spellbook that contained the super-premium stuff (spoiler alert: it gets found and abused in a later book). The problem with this plan was that most of the sorceress's spells were of the "inflict pain and suffering" and "make myself beautiful" variety, and Eilonwy, not naturally being very vain or inclined towards being evil, didn't really care for them. Thus her efforts in learning them were minimal. Of course, being a good person raised alone by an evil sorceress made Eilonwy's personality... odd.
      Taran and Flewdur Fflam were not rescued by Eilonwy from the Horned King's dungeons, they were rescued from the evil sorceress's. And Eilonwy did it to annoy her "Aunt". When they got lost in the ancient and unexplored tunnels under Spiral Castle and found the sword, removing it from the crypt caused the castle to collapse (via curse), theoretically killing the evil sorceress (spoiler alert: it didn't), and Eilonwy became homeless. At the end of the Book of Three, Dalben (the old man from the movie, and a potent sorcerer in his own right) offers to let her live with him and Taran while he attempts to make better arrangements for her, more suited to her rank (these arrangements actually sort of come to fruition in the third book, The Castle of Llyr, when she is sent off to learn how to be a proper lady and there is an attempt to wed her into the family that subsequently assumed the rule of her kingdom, thus legitimizing their rule). Her chores while living at Caer Dalben are the cooking and cleaning (make of that what you will). It is kind of a subtle gag throughout the Black Cauldron how many people really believe that she is nothing more than an orphan Scullery Maid.
      The books were very well written, and for the most part, everything that happens in them follows a logical progression. The problem with the movie is that it cuts out and changes so much stuff to fit into a single movie that the story is nearly incoherent. To properly do this book series justice would either require a full series or a film treatment like Lord of the Rings (not The Hobbit). There's just too much there to chop this into a 1.5 hour one-off film and have it make any sense. The movie we ended up with is a weird bastardization of about 3 or 4 chapters drawn from both The Book of Three and The Black Cauldron and kinda mixed together. That being said, I still mostly enjoyed the visual style and tone of the film.

    The thing that confuses me was just how massive the difference was in the audio quality in this movie in 1985, vs the great mouse detective just one year later in 1986. In this one it sounds like they were using microphones from the 1960s, all the audio sounds super washed-out, whereas in great mouse detective it was basically on the same level as we expect from the most recent movies. Why is that? What changed?

    While I do agree that this is one of the weaker Disney films, but I actually do enjoy it as a guilty pleasure. It was a nicely done grasp to it's source material (BTW the film is an adaptation to the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain), the animation is beautiful, the action scenes are pretty intense and grippin, The Horned King is an awesome villain, the music for the most part is pretty good and I really love how Disney is more than capable of making films that aren't entirely light-hearted, innocent, and happy-go-lucky and have a more serious tone. Granted, the film does come with it's flaws such as the climax was weightless, the leads are mix bag, Taran's personality of dreaming about becoming a knight and better then the life that he's got is clichéd, I do agree that there is no reason for Eilonwy to be a princess, I personally think they could have her be a normal person and nothing would change, Gurgi does get annyoing at times since he has pretty obnoxious and cowardly personality and their arc's do come across as underdeveloped at times, as does the plot.

    First of all, I love the HELL out of this movie. Are the characters and story perfect? No. But the characters (minus Gurgi) are an interesting and somewhat endearing group to follow, the animation is done well (duh) and the dark fantasy aesthetic and tone is spot on. Still, I agree with pretty much everything said in this review. In fact, here are the moments that made me laugh my ass off the most while watching this review:
