    The Road To Ruin: The Black Cauldron (1985)

    The Road To Ruin: The Black Cauldron (1985)

    Listen to the fifth episode of an six part mini-series where movies that were disastrous are explored. The Black Cauldron took ten years to make the big screen. It was animated by three generations of Disney artists. It had more directors than presidents of Mount Rushmore. Three CEOs oversaw it. And it tanked. And by tanked, I mean it took down the entire animation division of Disney for years. And that’s just scratching the surface.
