movie scared children.  Disney set itself up for disaster.  The adults=20

	I heard of it, but never seen it.  Is it out on video?

	Heh, nope, at least not that I now off.  Disney's done everything 
they can to bury that one.  Too bad, 'cus I remember loving it when I saw 
it at the theater as a kid.  But a hard-core-fantasy, adult-animation 
movie?  Not likely.  'The Black Cauldron' was book two of an excellent 
kid's fantasy series (who's name I can't remember, now, dammit!).  Very 
good... but not quite adult.
