“The Black Cauldron” – Army of the Dead
The ‘80s were a difficult time for Disney, as the company threw everything it had at the wall to see what stuck. “The Black Cauldron” was originally a kind of animated gothic horror movie, with a lot of very gruesome deaths. Test audiences didn’t exactly love this direction for the film, so a lot of really scary stuff was culled, but it wasn’t enough to save the overly dark and depressing movie.
