Loosely based on Welsh myths, the books tell a fairly conventional story: A young boy, Taran, bored with his ordinary life sets off on a series of adventures, learns some lessons, confronts a great evil, becomes a man, and assumes a place of leadership.
This series captures, for me, what a perfect Young Adult fantasy series looks like. They did more than speak to me - they enchanted me.
Growing up, I adored the “Chronicles of Prydain” which I read and reread every few years. To this extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart.” Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. The twenty-fifth animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics, the film is based on Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain book series, which is in turn based on Welsh mythology.“Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. The Black Cauldron (movie) is a 1985 American animated fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and originally released to theatres on July 24, 1985. First published from 1964–1968, the stories detail the adventures of a young man named Taran, who is awarded the honor of Assistant Pig-Keeper but dreams of being a grand hero, and his companions Princess Eilonwy, Fflewddur Fflam the wandering bard and king, a feral yet gentle creature called Gurgi, and a dwarf named Doli.
The Chronicles of Prydain (sometimes given as The Prydain Chronicles) is a five-volume series of children's fantasy novels by author Lloyd Alexander. This will be about the books and the movie with some occasional detours about who was involved from Lloyd Alexander himself to the animators who worked in the Disney version and I may even do some Katzenberg if I'm ever feeling nice enough to talk about how much I blame him for everything that's wrong with the movie.
