The Black Cauldron is a 1985 American animated fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. The 25th film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, it is based on the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, a series of five novels which in turn is based on Welsh mythology.

The film is directed by Ted Berman and Richard Rich, who had directed the previous Disney animated film The Fox and the Hound. It features the voices of Grant Bardsley, Susan Sheridan, Freddie Jones, Nigel Hawthorne, John Byner and John Hurt. A video game based on the film was released in 1986.

Famous quotes containing the word black:
“If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad. If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it is wrong for America to draft us, and make us violent abroad in defense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
