The Black Cauldron 25th Anniversary Edition Announced
The Black Cauldron,
Walt Disney Pictures’ 25th animated feature-length film,
celebrates its 25th anniversary with a
Special Edition DVD release September
14 from Walt Disney Home Entertainment. Based on Lloyd
Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain books, this mystical,
action-packed adventure debuts just in time for Halloween. The
film tells the story of Taran, an apprentice pig keeper with
dreams of becoming a great warrior, who embarks on a quest to
find a magical and powerful Black Cauldron before the evil
tyrant Horned King can possess it for his own diabolical
purposes. Fantastical characters like the oracular pig Hen Wen,
the willful princess Eilonwy, and the droll but annoying Gurgi
face witches, elves, magic swords and other obstacles. As they
journey through these thrilling escapades, Taran begins to learn
the true meaning of what it is to be a hero.
