Movie Reviews

Cinemaphile.org - 10/10 by David Keyes...it serves a purpose in reminding us that even today's animation can't compare to the brilliance that hand-drawn animation offers its audience.
Time - 9/10 by Richard SchickelThe new boys know how to create wonderful transformations in a character's expression with a deft stroke or two, and they have mastered the deliciously parodistic plasticity required by the movements of their ever twisting-turning-tumbling creatures. Their pastoral scenes still glow with the old Disney sweetness, and the ones of foreboding glower with the old relish for the grotesque. They satisfy an older viewer's nostalgic feeling for his childhood's delight while fulfilling the younger crowd's need for a kind of magic the movies too rarely even try to provide of late. It is never too early to learn that animation is still the best special effect.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertBy the end of The Black Cauldron I was remembering, with something of a shock of nostalgia, the strength and utter storytelling conviction of the early Disney animators. The Black Cauldron is a return to the tradition.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliA fun-but-uninspired swords-and-sorcery story.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Rita KempleyBut there's still a great deal to love in The Black Cauldron. The untested animators Don Bluth left behind created some amazing sequences, including a dramatic scene of Taran's oracular pig, Hen Wen, being captured by pterodactyl-like gwythaints...For all its flaws, The Black Cauldron was a movie ahead of its time.
BrianOrndorf.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfFlawed jumble of a film, but a picture of immense artistic accomplishment and dedication to atypical faces of wickedness...there's still so much to admire about this red-headed stepchild of a film.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonIt may have cost five times the amount of any other Disney film in the preceding two decades, but by God that money ended up on screen.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Dave KehrIt's quite good, though by the impossible standards the film sets for itself it inevitably falls short: the character design is a little smudgy, the backgrounds are somewhat unimaginative, and the secret of Disney animation's unique depth—its impeccable perspectives and shadings—seems to have been irretrievably lost.
Chicago Tribune - 6/10 by Gene SiskelThe essential problem with The Black Cauldron is that the central human character in the story is a complete drip, making it difficult to root for his success at saving the world from ruination.
Los Angeles Times - 6/10 by Charles ChamplinThis is the 25th full-length animated feature from Walt Disney studios, and professionally put together as it is, many of the ingredients may seem programmed to those who have seen some of the others.
