Here is part nine of the set of storyboards for sequence four of the black cauldron and part one of the second version of the sequence. Here it begins with Taran meeting Eilonwy for the first time in the dungeon.
What’s really interesting to note is that there are some alternate dialogue, and also those that did not make it into the film, but would provide it a little more insight into what’s going on into the castle. for starters, instead of her saying, “I’m Princess Eilonwy.” She said, “I am a princess. Don’t you know that?” Believe it, or not, if you look closely, the lip-synch was a bit off in the final film. Well, she was saying, the former. the work print revealed that she was actually saying, the latter line, which matched the lip sync a little better . Technically the clips of the unfinished version were in a documentary that was found in the electronic press kit, which is rare these days. It was, however, found in the libraries that has the copies of that.  One of which was in UCLA .
When you have her explaining how long she waited, and what she expected to wait for, while the two were walking through the tunnels under the castle.  there was also a hint of a war that was, for when she was talking about the great king, who built the castle before the horned king, took it over. Had they kept that line into the film, it would’ve helped people get a little more sense of what’s going on. 
And then there was also one part that could’ve been in the film, the part, when Taran picked up the sword, so he got he would be amazed by it. I had to use that in the film, we would get more of him being amazed by the sword, and they should not have cut that part out so that we could admire the details of the sword. 
more of the tomb scene will come along with what happens next in the next part  so be sure to stay tuned for that.

Disney's INFPs (by Berx)
All the credit to Berx from PDB
big fan :)
note: this list only goes up to Treasure Planet (2002)
"The Fi function is on a quest to find the living principles lying at the core of the universe and nature, and to live in harmony with these ideals. This journey unfolds internally, guided by a profound connection to a deeper, often spiritual, essence that leads them towards the authenticity of their true selves. This includes removing internal emotional distortions that dissalow them from being well attuned to the divine spirit residing within them. As they search, many Fi users find in their core something raw, wild and untamed, leading them embody that nature in idiosyncratic artistic expressions." - Cognitive Typology

March 18, 2016 - Disney reportedly buys back the film rights to The Chronicles of Prydain.
March 18, 2025 - Nine years later, still no news on the movie. Instead, it's just...
...Did they only buy back the rights so they could shill the Horned King? Was it all just for the legend of "the darkest Disney villain"?
They will never do the books justice, and they're going to keep sitting on the rights so no one else can try either.

My favourite little monster.
Came across a photo of Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman while scrolling Pinterest a while back and thought it would make a great Prince Hans fanart.

We have a Facebook Group!!!
I have finally decided to make a Facebook group dedicated to Disney's 25th animated film, The Black Cauldron. To my knowledge there is no online community to discuss the film (other than the group dedicated to the book series). But i do hate always spamming them with my film ramblings so I thought I would make my own page! Please PLEASE join it! I hope it brings a lot of fun and maybe make some friends who are also as much fans of the film as I am!
Cheers!

I ADORE The Black Cauldron, and I also like The Chronicles Of Prydain. However, I do have a few issues with the Prydain books, including how most of the Prydain fandom constantly bashes on The Black Cauldron movie [thank you for appreciating the movie alongside the books!], Eilonwy's questionable treatment in the books [I know it was in the 60s, but I was frustrated seeing Eilonwy having to wash dishes and have to give up her magic], the books get mean-spirited towards Taran at times, Elidyr's arc [I don't think it was handled well, Elidyr was a egotistic jerk who got Taran in trouble numerous times and his redemption came too late IMO. Gurgi's arc in the movie is much better.], book!Dallben in general [carelessly leaving The Book Of Three where Taran would get his hands on it and get burned then acting surprised when it happened, neither him or Coll went to look for Taran during the events of Book Of Three, the fact he straight out said he had doubts about Taran becoming the High King in the final book, and choosing to leave when Taran doesn't even know HOW to be a king yet], and the ending of the High King [I'm not opposed to a bittersweet ending, but magic leaving Prydain feels like a cynical attempt to deconstruct fantasy stories, and Eilonwy being forced to give up her magic leaves a sour taste in my mouth]. I still love the Prydain books [though I prefer the movie], in spite of my issues with them.
Hi Friend!
First of all: wow, a message on my tumblr in 2024?! What is this??? I honestly don't expect anyone to see my ramblings anymore, but I really appreciate that you took the time to send this message!
In response to your question, I completely understand. I know that I am in a Facebook group for the book and I am basically the person that gives all the updates on anything film related to the page (although I'm sure a few people find it a bit annoying lol). I do so because even though it's not related to the books directly, it is still Prydain related. Honestly, any promo for those books and Lloyd's work at this point is good promo, even if he wasn't a huge fan of the film, because it keeps his work in people's mind's and might even encourage people to read the books! When I was in high school my account dedicated to Princess Eilonwy got so many people to read the books, so I don't think mixing the two together is bad.
I think your issues with the books are COMPLETELY VALID. I will admit, I haven't read the books in a GOOD few years, so small details and plots are a bit muddy for me because I do focus so much more on the film itself and other interests. I think personally when reading books I try to objectively look at them with the view that flaws in characters and plots are meant to be there because they were put in by the author for whatever reason. While they might not be our favourite pathway that could've happened, Lloyd wanted to tell his story in a particular way. I do agree, magic leaving Prydain at the end was unfortunate, but I interpret it as a way for Lloyd to connect that world to our own. Prydain is an old world for the land that is now the UK, and the series is built on old welsh mythology, so maybe that was just a way for him to in the end be like "this is also part of our history, and why we don't have magic anymore." Who knows, that was just something that popped into my head while responding to your message.
If you ever do want to chat more, please feel free to DM me on Instagram (Eillyboo)
I've been seriously considering starting a Black Cauldron Film page on facebook. There is already one for the film but it's run by one person and not really a community board as he's the only one able to post. I see so much buzz about the film lately especially with the Villains land coming so I would love to connect with more people about it!
Have a great day!
