I've got a soft spot a mile deep for "The Black Cauldron" as you well know. Here's an excellent recent documentary that finally shows us some of the scenes infamously cut from the production:
Of all the animation history books I've read, surprisingly few of them talk about animated productions in their historical/pop culture context. I bring this up because I feel like the fact that "Black Cauldron" just happened to be released around the same time as "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" should warrant a mention, if only because that is incredible.
