The Movie That Almost Led to Disney Animation Department's Closure

The "Black Cauldron" is one of Disney’s darkest films and was nearly rated PG-13, a first for an animated Disney movie. It was also one of the studio's biggest box office flops, almost leading to the closure of Disney’s animation department in the 1980s.

Wow, I had no idea "The Black Cauldron" was that close to being PG-13! It’s wild to think it almost ended Disney’s animation department. Definitely one of those hidden gems with a darker vibe.

Wow, "The Black Cauldron" is like that one wild card movie Disney threw out there, and it almost took down the whole animation squad—kinda crazy to think about, but hey, sometimes the risks don't pay off, right?

Wow, that’s wild! “The Black Cauldron” definitely took some risks with its darker themes. It’s crazy to think it almost got a PG-13 rating! Despite its box office struggles, it’s still a unique piece of Disney history.
