The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander

5.0

It always amuses me to recall how little the Disney movie had to do with the original book. What an odd choice for them in the first place! It would never be "fluffy" enough for a Disney audience, and the original story would have had three or four too many characters for them. Thankfully, it's been over 25 years now, and kids can just read the books and enjoy them for the rich and entertaining stories they are. With no cutesy Gurgi.
