Did you know that in The Black Cauldron

Did you know The Black Cauldron nearly became the first animated Disney film to receive a PG-13 or even R rating from the MPAA? Known as being the darkest animated Disney feature by far, original plans for the film actually suggested an even darker story than the one we got. Jeffrey Katzenberg protested until he and Michael Eisner finally reached a deal to rework the film. Even after reworks, it was still the first Disney cartoon to be rated PG.

The Black Cauldron scared the sh!t out of me as a kid. I had to turn it off

[@RockDay-wv8jq]

I can see why. Movie scared the stuffing out of me when I was little. People, if your kids get scared by this kind of horror, please don't make them watch it. Wait until they are a little older. I speak from experience with dumb relatives who thought this movie was perfectly fine for a six-year-old who didn't like scary things and had a high fear of the dark.

Nah make them watch it, it'll make em tougher and thick skinned as I have when I was a kid

[@thegravewalker7645]

I saw it at that age and thought it was scary and awesome

[@alphalax7747]

​@@gallaxseizor9216 me. Literally watched The Thing and Predator at like 9 and im so fucking glad i did

[@laurynsylvain07]

Bro, this movie is a masterpiece! Why are people scared of this??? In fact, if they added the 12 minute scene they cut out of it, it wouldn't have been forgotten.

[@RockDay-wv8jq]

@@laurynsylvain07 Remember, not everyone had good experiences with scary things when they were younger. Some of that scary stuff looks pretty real to some.

[@bluecosmos7448]

Just watched, i love this movie

[@CringeTV4]

I didn't even know this movie exist!

[@gorasul12]

Very underrated movie 😁

[@James-Foster]

The Horned King terrified me as a kid I use to hide behind the sofa when he was on on screen most of the time.

[@elijahmoe1374]

I knew that

[@VerchielxKanda]

I really want to read the novels, cause I heard they were even darker.

[@thareelhelloagain]

The first three are incredible, the last two lost my attention a bit but I still loved the entire series. Keep in mind I read these when I was probably 13-15 so it's been a bit.

@@laurynsylvain07 How are you liking it? That's awesome :)

[@laurynsylvain07]

@@thareelhelloagain It's really good!

[@thareelhelloagain]

@@laurynsylvain07 That's so great :) Eilonwy was always my favorite character. Have you ever seen the Disney version?

[@Xerxes069]

The Black Cauldron should have been on this list, it's so underrated!

[@pomo1697]

I didn't think that the flim was that bad but the only reason why I get this flim failed because it had wrong rating I mean would be perfect if this flim had a PG-13 rating.But if it was a live action of this flim it would definitely be R rated

[@OxPolya]

I watched this movie when I was five and was simultaneously obsessed and scared to death. Looking back, this explains a good deal of my interest in very dark themes in fiction 😂

[@manuelredgrave8348]

Wish they'd take the original plans for it and make a new movie for an adult only audience Never gonma happen tho

[@jubberdunkus1496]

Was 3 year old me's favorite movie

[@samdegooijer9089]

Sameee😂

[@kairi4640]

Honestly with the way it went, they should have went all out with the horror since it failed anyway. Might as well for future cult hit watching. 🤣

[@angelmation436]

Either its really not that scary, or im just immune to scary stuff. My brother would show me all kinds of R rated films when i was a kid

[@samdegooijer9089]

I love this movie I watched it for the first time when I was like 3-4 I think and I already loved it than😂

[@tot3mpted]

this movie done in live action, make it a 2 parter and it’ll save disney from its liberal woke bs

[@ixagonczi]

I mean it wasn’t that scary

[@pomo1697]

Same i didn't think it was that bad or scary but the flim would've made more sense if it was rated PG-13

[@TheMan05555]

Originally, the Cauldron Born going to melt the flesh off people’s skulls.

[@ixagonczi]

@@pomo1697 I mean yeah would have made a bit more sense

[@ixagonczi]

@@TheMan05555 Hey can we make a 13+ version with this?

[@ElRosco187]

I wish they would redo this as live action. Hopefully they don’t fuck it up. Bad enough they fucked up the live action Lilo & Stitch. Courtney B Vance as Cobra Bubbles seriously wtf. Nonso Anozie wasn’t available or something. Seriously dropping the ball Disney.

[@ixagonczi]

Never ask for a live action.

[@TheMouseAvenger]

I dunno, I very much like/love all the live-action remakes so far. ^_^ Of course, that's just a matter of opinion; no biggie. :-)

[@pomo1697]

Treasure Planet and Alantis The Lost Empire need to be live action

[@kairi4640]

​@@ixagoncziidk, I feel like Black Cauldron mostly having human characters and being dark themed could go well if it has the right producers. Just make it full horror. 🤣

[@ixagonczi]

@@kairi4640 If they made it full horror then I would so watch it again
