The one thing I disliked about Disney and the Black Cauldron:

(BTW, I own and watch the movie--it was a Birthday present to myself one year!!!)

When the movie first came out--it frightened the "christian" fundamentalists due to the skeletons coming back to life scene--they of course went off on a rampage about it being too horrorful and too violent for the rating (G) it was given, and how Disney movies weren't to be trusted any longer... (I think you're heard that speech before, with different names in the appropriate spots?) and Disney bowed to the pressure, and took the film (before VCRS) out of the theatres.  I was  lucky enough to have a mom and dad who let me go see Disney movies, and got  to see it (yay!).  My son was only about 8-9 months old when Gardner Student Center, at Akron University (finnnnnnallllllly) talked Disney into loaning them a copy for the students to watch, and I lived up the street.  I bundled Ian into a stroller, and we walked down to watch it.  He was so good, didn't fuss at all.  Even watched the first half--fell asleep during the second.  (I love Gurgi the way Disney did him.)

Of course, it took five years of begging to get the movie re-released!  (1998, spring)

I realllly hope we don't have that kind of problems with HPm!

  One of the peculiarities of Disney's _The Black Cauldron_ is that it 
  films a middle book of a 5 book series without any others being 
  produced!  At least we are avoiding that.
