Disney acquired the rights to Alexander's stories in 1973 and after years of pre-production, the film was scheduled to be released in 1980. The film is based on the Chronicles of Prydain novels by Lloyd Alexander, a high fantasy series consisting of five books written every year, from 1964 to 1968. The Black Cauldron is a film that had a troubled journey to the big screen.
As audiences are looking for additional fantasy movies and TV shows to catch, whether new and old, one that has probably flown under many radars is Disney's 1985 film The Black Cauldron - a dark and mystical adventure still bound to satisfy the needs of fantasy heads everywhere. It seems that as audiences have proven greater interest in the genre, we're starting to hear about more and more fantasy related films being announced by studios every day. One genre that seems to really be catching peoples' eye nowadays is fantasy, something we're seeing with HBO's House of the Dragon and Amazon's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. While we're starting to see an ant-sized surge in mid-budget studio films, it seems as though the movie going public is completely attached to gargantuan spectacles as the primary type of project that will draw them into theaters and streaming services. As superhero movies are starting to wean out of mass audience's favor, the next big thing is kind of up in the air.
