Viewing Notes
I know there’s a story behind The Black Cauldron (1985) and why I didn’t see it back in the 80s. I remember reading about it in my Starlog magazines and highly anticipated it. According to wiki it was too violent and had to be cut down upon release. And it failed at box office. Suppose that’s why I missed it. Not a bad little fantasy adventure film. I quite enjoyed this and would watch it again.
