Walt Disney Pictures released The Black Cauldron to theaters on July 24, 1985. Ted Berman and Richard Rich directs the film which stars Grant Bardsley, Freddie Jones, and Susan Sheridan. The Black Cauldron Movie Summary A young boy, Taran, an assistant pig farmer/wrangler learns that his pig, Hen-Wen, is a mystical piece of prized pork belly who has oracle style powers which can locate a Black Cauldron that the evil Horned King has been trying to get his skeletor hands on so that he may raise an army of the dead. After a brief, but dreadful sequence where Taran imagines himself to be a great, sword wielding warrior, the pig goes missing; having been taken to the castle of the Horned King by a pair of Night Fury dragons that have been trained well. Taran is befriended by a dog-like creature Gurgi who talks similar to Gollum and likes apples. Taran high tails it to the Castle climbing up the vertical walls to save the pig, but the Gollum dog doesn’t follow him.
