Friend of the Show Wade Hymel makes his triumphant return to the podcast, and he's brought with him I Love You, Man (2009). So what's up with men, huh? With their man caves, and their jam seshes, and their pizza pies. Can't live with ‘em, can't help but love ‘em, am I right? And how do adults make friends anyway? It's pretty weird. Somebody should make a movie about it. Oh, that's what this movie is.

This podcast is now six! And to celebrate - some pre-Renaissance Disney.Basil may just be a little mouse, but this little mouse packed a mighty punch for Disney during a time when the animation studio was teetering on the edge of disaster. With a mix of clever storytelling, dark visuals, and a villain who's as charismatic as he is frightening, Basil proves that sometimes, the smallest heroes can save the day—or in this case, an entire animation division! The Great Mouse Detective (or Basil the Great Mouse Detective!) played a crucial role in ushering in the Disney Renaissance, and how its success helped revive the company's animation legacy, after the critical and financial disaster that was The Black Cauldron.Coming out at a crucial time for Disney, with a changing of the senior management guard, and combining traditional animation with early CGI, Basil has never had the acknowledgement he deserves for persuading Disney's senior management that investing in new movies, rather than just re-releasing old ones, was the way forward...And they did all of this in one year, with a massively reduced budget. I would love to hear your thoughts on (Basil) The Great Mouse Detective !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

In the 230th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are talking Disney movies, Disney history, and Disney movie history today. In a slow news week, Jenn is making plans for her upcoming New Years Eve trip to WDW, while Dave is set for more Star Wars Legos.... plus picking up a copy of "The Good Dinosaur", which leads to a discussion of the chaos in Dave's media shelf and Phil Collins going super hard on the Tarzan soundtrack. Then, going all the way back to "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", they put a spotlight on each of the seven known era of Disney animation - Golden, Wartime, Silver, Bronze, Renaissance, Post Ren, and Revival - plus, creating a new era for the latest batch of films. They list their favorites from each era, some nostalgia with some, and even a few they don't care for as much ("Black Cauldron" alert!), plus lots of random trivia and Disney animation tidbits along the way.

Welcome back to another episode of the Video Store Podcast, where we're in full Halloween mode! We're taking a walk down memory lane this week in the comforting archives of Disney. Well, perhaps comforting isn't the right word for these films. There was an era of Disney where they seemed to relish making more edgy and spooky films. These films are perfect for dipping your toe in the water of the horror genre, or if you're looking for something off-the-beaten-path for your Halloween viewing. We've selected four of these Spooky Disney films for the staff picks wall this week to help make your Halloween fun and pleasantly chilling. First up is the 1949 Disney animated short film The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. This gorgeously animated short film, based on the short story of the same name by Washington Irving, is an essential part of Halloween viewing. Told and sung by Bing Crosby, it is a great film best enjoyed with the whole family. For something a little different this Halloween season, check out Disney's undersung 1985 classic, The Black Cauldron. While not necessarily considered a horror movie, The Black Cauldron, does have horror elements, and in the original cut, was deemed so scary that it nearly got an R-rating! Based on Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain, The Black Cauldron is another great example of spooky Disney, and also one that's accessible for the whole family. From the era where Disney tried to inject a little bit of family-friendly horror into their catalog, comes 1980's The Watcher in the Woods. The Watcher in the Woods has a wonderful cast, including Bette Davis and David McCallum. The film is elevated by its cast, creepy score, as well as a wonderful, ethereal mystery. Based on the book by Florence Engel Randall, The Watcher in the Woods makes horror accessible for teens and young adults. Finally, we have 1983's Something Wicked This Way Comes, based on the book of the same name by Ray Bradbury. Bradbury is a master of horror and sci-fi, and Something Wicked This Way Comes is a wonderful example of his mastery. Starring Jonathan Pryce, Jason Robards, Pam Grier, and Diane Ladd, among others, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a wonderful film for the month of October. Get caught up in the mystery and suspense of Something Wicked This Way Comes with your teens and young adults. Thanks for joining us today at the Video Store Podcast for these lesser-known films from the Disney vault. Grab some candy on the way out, and come back next week for more film and television recommendations from the Video Store Podcast. This is a public episode.

Welcome to the Literary License Podcast! This month is Dark Families Month, where we delve into family films with a dark twist. Join us as we explore two intriguing films: The Black Cauldron and The Spiderwick Chronicles. First, we dive into the 1985 animated classic, The Black Cauldron.

We'll discuss the film's beautiful animation, its mixed critical reception, and its impact on Disney's animation department.

This film, based on the popular book series, features three children who discover a field guide to fairies and encounter various magical creatures. We'll explore the film's visuals, the performances of its cast, and how it stacks up against its source material. Join hosts Joe and Vicki as they discuss the enchanting darkness of these family films and share their thoughts on what makes them stand out—or fall short.

The Black Cauldron from 1985 is often referred to as the absolute worst Disney animated movie. While we don't know if we would give it that acolade...it's pretty damn close and you can't have a Friday Failure without at least considering the Black Cauldron. Come take a listen with us once again in the land of Prydain hand in hand with the most annoying dumb character ever...Gurgi.

We've reached the end of our MONTH OF 1985, as this week we let our lovely patrons help us decide what to cover. So this week we look at the film that almost took down the animation department at Disney, 1985's THE BLACK CAULDRON. Behind the scenes issues, a dark script and 12 minutes of cut material by ONE man, THE BLACK CAULDRON is a long forgotten piece of the Disney puzzle that to this day doesn't get discussed enough. Did we enjoy our journey to Prydain? Did the darkness overtake us and suck us into the cauldron? Lets dive in and find out. #MovieReview #DissectThatFilm INTRO BY JASON OF BINGE MOVIES Track: Infraction- A.I.

The Black Cauldron is notorious for being one of Disney's darkest and scariest movies, and it is, but there's a beauty in its darkness that's unrivalled. The score does feel mismatched in places and the characters aren't very well-developed, but there's something truly ambitious there, and the animation has moments of sheer awe-inspiring brilliance. It really is a work of visual art.But you can see the behind-the-scenes troubles even in its animation - while some scenes are some of the most challenging and technically brilliant of all of Disney's hand-drawn output, others look almost amateur. The Black Cauldron was different, risky and slightly more mature in tone to average Disney fare. It's often accused of being the movie that almost killed Walt Disney Feature Animation, but there's always more to the story, and that includes the potential that The Black Cauldron had to change Disney's animated fortunes for the better...I would love to hear your thoughts on The Black Cauldron !CONTACT....

This time on the Film Stories podcast, its 1985 animated feature The Black Cauldron. A film whose budget more than doubled, that arrived five years later, and nearly broke Walt Disney Animation Studios in the process. Plus, its legacy is such that you won't find it anywhere near a Disney theme park. The story of one of the most remarkable chapters in Disney animation history.Then the second film in this episode is the Oscar-nominated British satirical comedy In The Loop. The directorial debut of Armando Iannucci, it spun out of the TV series The Thick Of It - but the decision was made to not to a straight TV-to-film adaptation. The stories of both of these films are found in this very episode... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Most people think of Disney as an all powerful juggernaut of entertainment, especially in the realm of animated features. But in the mid-80's things weren't so certain when The Black Cauldron failed to make a profit against the biggest budget for an animated movie at the time.

The 1980s weren't exactly a golden age for Disney animated features. Maybe a new cartoon film based on a series of books could usher in an exciting new era of Disney animation. That film was The Black Cauldron; a movie that took a long time to make, cost a fortune, and created a lot of backlash. And it almost sunk Disney animation for good...

Francis and Nate discuss the conundrum of which of your childhood faves are appropriate when it comes to showing them to your own kids. We're elder Millennials and as such have a fondness for movies that are actually deep down a lot more flawed than our memories let us remember. For example: the Neverending Story, Labyrinth, The Black Cauldron, and many more. We also answer some ‘Ask A Dad' questions that we hope you'll find helpful. Like Hell of a Way?
