My youngest is 10 years old and even he thought it was lame. Not recommended.

It's not your typical 'Prince saves the Princess' Disney animated feature, The Black Cauldron is a much darker tale of a horned king searching for the cursed black cauldron to raise his army of the dead. Enter Taran and his sidekicks who are trying to destroy the cauldron before the evil King reaches it. Animation is great as you'd expect, very young children may be frightened of the dark undertones, but if you're a fan of all Disney animations, you won't be disappointed. Just don't think light & fluffy.

Dated and overly scary for a 6 year old. Give it a miss.
