Now, growing up, I was never aware of The Black Cauldron. It was only when I got the Once Upon A Halloween DVD in 2004 that I became aware of it as there is a clip from the movie on there. But I was definitely intrigued about the movie. So I got the ginto Collection DVD, watched it and was blown away. It's such an underrated classic with great characters and stunning animation. I wish the movie had been a big hit, but I do understand why it flopped at the Box Office. It is a very dark movie. But it's definitely one of my personal favorites. I adore the animation in this movie. Taran is one of my paborito leads in a Disney feature. And Gurgi is just the sweetest, funny little creature. The Horned King had BIG potential to be a really scary villain, but I think Disney blew it with him. Yes, he's terrifying to look at, but he never really does that much, unlike reyna Grimhilde or Ursula. But despite it's flaws, The Black Cauldron is a charming Disney movie. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you go watch it.
Image #1: Taran.
Two cel set-up applied to a matching watercolor background of the house.
Quote: Taran: But I'm not afraid... OUCH!
Number of frames: 60 frames.
Description of the sequence: Taran reaching his hand out in protest, only to touch the boiling pot, burning his finger.
PrueFever's comment: I pag-ibig the animation here as Taran burn himself on the pot. The way he shakes his hand after. It kinda looks like he's telling someone off.
Image #2: Taran.
Single cel set-up applied to a matching watercolor background of the forest.
Quote: Taran: You.
Number of frames: 40 frames.
Description of the sequence: Taran gets the mansanas back from Gurgi and is stunned that the little creature took a bite of it, before handing it back.
PrueFever's comment: I pag-ibig the fact that you can clearly see this is cel-animation. Just look at the lines around Taran's face, hair and fingers. Also, the Disney colorist who painted the cels made a mistake in one frame. Look at the white inside the apple. In one frame, it turns red.
Image #3: Taran.
Single cel set-up applied to a matching watercolor background of the forest.
Quote: Taran: Ohh no!.
Number of frames: 58 frames.
Description of the sequence: Taran gets annoyed with himself, when he discovers that Hen Wen has run off. He tosses the stick in the water in frustration.
PrueFever's comment: Another sequence I really pag-ibig with Taran. In some of the first frames, when he has closed his eyes, he looks like he could be singing. One thing I really pag-ibig about the animation of Taran, is that he has a perfect nose. Unlike Jim Hawkins.
Image #4 & #5: Taran & Orddu.
Two cel set-up applied to a matching watercolor background of the house.
Quote: Taran: Alright! I know what you want. Orddu: Yees?
Number of frames: 130 frames.
Description of the sequence: Taran decides to offer the witches his sword.
PrueFever's comment: I have always loved the animation of Taran in this sequence, but notice in the segundo gif, how his skin changes color to a darker shade.
