Critics Consensus: Ambitious but flawed, The Black Cauldron is technically brilliant as usual, but lacks the compelling characters of other Disney animated classics.

Reviews

CBR

David Reddish

Flaws and all, it doesn't deserve its reputation as the nadir of Disney's animated storytelling. If nothing else, it's still a hell of a lot more entertaining than Wish.

While The Black Cauldron might not be the best Disney film, it easily could be the studio's most underrated work.

“The Black Cauldron” is an intriguing medieval film to be shared by a family or any group of fantasy role-players.

A tug-of-war between interesting graphics and uninteresting scenarios.

Feels like only half of a story, as if audiences are thrust into the core chapters of an epic quest, with countless elements left undetailed, unexplained, and underdeveloped.
