Now Watching: The Black Cauldron

It's been years since I've seen this film.  Produced by Disney in 1985, this movie was widely criticized for being less than kid-friendly. Now a cult-classic, this dark 1980's dungeon-fantasy has been remastered and is available for streaming on Disney+.  

The classical animation is reminiscent of the 1978 Lord of the Rings cartoon, and it looks awesome... even better than I remember.  Elmer Bernstein's soundtrack is wicked.  And Sir John Hurt delivers a chilling performance as the Horned King.  Definitely check it out if you get the chance!
