But before we let them bury the past let’s have a look at their original take on the classic series, The Black Cauldron. Oh, and it’s not a musical which is interesting, the first time a Disney Classic doesn’t have some songs in it.Īpparently, Disney are planning on making a pentalogy of movies based on the books which could be pretty good, that’s what they should have done to begin with. A pretty good opening, a pretty good ending, but no middle. Imagine getting The Lord of the Rings trilogy, cutting out everything that isn’t Hobbiton or Mordor and turning those scenes from a 10/10 to probably around a 7/10, that’s what The Black Cauldron feels like. What’s there is mostly good, it’s just that there appears to be a lot missing. Joining the ranks of The Fox and the Hound, The Black Cauldron could have been so much more. Although nobody watched The Black Cauldron anyway so I guess it didn’t matter. The Black Cauldron is actually the name of the second book in the franchise, the first is called The Book of Three but to be fair to Disney people are dumb enough that a large group of people wouldn’t have seen the movie, thinking it was the third in the series and they missed the first two. Person 2: Nah, just cut out the middle of the story, who needs a second act. Person 1: But those are long, detailed novels, won’t it be hard to fit them into a single movie that isn’t even that long? Person 2: Nah, we’ll just adapt the first two novels into a single 80-minute movie. Person 1: Great, we have the rights to The Chronicles of Prydian let’s make five films, one for each. This here must have been how the conversation went down at Disney HQ. They now owned the rights to five popular novels. ![]() They purchased the rights to The Chronicles of Prydain, a popular fantasy novel series. In the 80s Disney decided they wanted to make an epic fantasy movie. ![]()
