The black cauldron

The black cauldron  is a 1985 American animated film produced by the Walt Disney Company. It is the 25th full-length cartoon from Disney.

The film is loosely based on the first two books of the five-volume children's book series "the adventures of Taran" (inspired by Welsh mythologyand the Mabinogion in particular) by Lloyd Alexander.

The film is in many ways different from the other Disney movies. The atmosphere is a lot beklemmender and creepier (and no songs). This is also to note the assessment that the film got worldwide. For example, In the Netherlands is the only cartoon by Walt Disney that is considered inappropriate for all ages, but with thekijkwijzer "parental guidance suggested starting from 6 years".

Therefore it was quite scary scenes in the scenario pruned to remove. Especially scenes with the undead army were edited out. A scene which clearly noticeable is that he is removed, is that true, to see through a silhouette, is how one of the monsters coming out of the boiler comes someone kills. Because this scene from the movie is cut is there clear break of the music in the soundtrack can be heard. Other deleted scenes are those in which Taran kills an enemy with his sword, and one in which a man dissolves into mist. The adjustments in the script, however, could not prevent critics the film still grim found for viewers of all ages. The MPAA gave the movie at the original release a PG-rating; the first time ever that a Disney movie got such a rating.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-MKs_1-1" len="178" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1]  the film threatened to get a PG-13 rating even if the above scenes would not have been removed.
