Time for a Black Cauldron movie remake.

The 2 Prydain Books vs


The Disney movie adapation.



Hello there flat screen readers. Today I want to talk about my favorite fantasy paper book novels called Prydain Series. When I was a kid I watched this Disney movie The Black Cauldron movie on VHS I enjoyed alright until I've read all 5 Prydain books by Lloyd Alexander. The first book I've read is "Book of 3" the second book "The Black Cauldron" the third "Castle of Llyr" the forth "Taran Wanderer" and the last "The High King" I've read the books and they were great no swearing or bad stuff. But it talks about violence, torture and death. Anyways after I've read the books I've become a big fan and read "The Foundling" which I've enjoyed. After seeing the Black Cauldron movie I've discovered many changes I've noticed in the movie vs the book.

Note: Please read the paper book or ebook on "The Book of 3" "The Black Cauldron" and watch the Disney Black Cauldron cartoon movie on VHS or DVD before you read this article because it contains spoilers.

Now I want to tell you what The Disney movie company left out when they made the Black Cauldron movie.

Characters not in the Black Cauldron movie-

The Good Heroes: Coll, Prince Ellidyr, Prince Gwydion, Gwystyl, Adaon, Kaw the crow, Medwyn, King Smoit, horses
The Bad Guys: Queen Achren, Lord Awarn, King Morgant
The Black Cauldron movie character changes

Taran- Not much changes. Like the book, Taran seeks to be a great swordsman.
Dallben- Not much changes in the book he reads to Taran from the book of 3, in the movie Dallben shows Taran a vision with Hen Wen the pig.
Hen Wen- In the book Hen Wen is a grown pig, the movie has Hen Wen as a piglet.Princess Eilonwy- In the book she is a stubborn tomboy and she has red hair, the movie has Eilonwy with blond hair and a helpless girl. But she does carry her magic golden bauble.
Fflewddur Fflam- In the book he has blond spiky hair. In the movie He has gray hair and is an old man. He does carry his harp that breaks strings every time he tells a lie.
Doli the Dwarf- In the book Doli is a dwarf and does not get to be invisible until the 2nd book. In the movie he is a small flying fairy who can be invisible. He does get grumpy and annoyed from time to time.
Gurgi- In the book and movie he is a mischievous critter who is thought of as a coward and a troublemaker.
King Eiddileg- In the book he is a Dwarf and in the movie he's a small fairy. He is grumpy like Doli is.
King Eiddilegs fairy folk: The book describes the Fairy folk as dwarves, the movie shows them as small flying faeries.The Creeper- Not in the book but in the movie he is the Horned Kings sidekick.
Orddu, Orwen, Orgoch- 3 witches who collect cauldrons and live in the swamp.
The Horned King- In the book he's on horseback chasing after Taran. In the movie he owns the castle, walks around and is on his throne.
The huntsmen- In the book the huntsmen are trying to kill Taran and his friends, In the movie the huntsmen hang out at the castle most of the time, the only time they're outside is to capture Taran and his friends and take them to the Horned Kings castle.
2 Gwythaints- In the book they are described as giant birds but in the movie they are dragons.

The box office flop

Now that you know the big changes the movie made. It was disappointing that the Disney Company at the time changed the story by taking out out many scenes and cramming 2 books "The book of Three" and "The Black Cauldron" into one digest movie. The only thing I really enjoyed in the Black Cauldron was the beautiful music and the cartoon artwork. But I was really upset that the movie told a completely different story and leaving out important characters and changed events that hardly followed the book. After the complaint of Prydian fans and for being the first PG scary cartoon movie. Thankfully the Disney company didn't do a sequel to The Black Cauldron movie otherwise they would've crammed 3 books and rush it.
After the movie flop got made, Disney company went on to making G rated cartoon TV shows and movies like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, DuckTales, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.

My idea for a Prydian movie remake

1. The movie must follow the books more carefully and not be rushed, or altered in anyway.
2. The scenes need to flow with the books.
3. The remake needs to be a new cartoon or a real people movie.
4. The movie needs to be well done like Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings remake.
5. There shouldn't be any swearing added to the movie or being taken advantage in any way.
6. The movie should entertain and teach people and not just to make millions of dollars.
7. The movie should not be choppy or low quality but should be done with a great camera.
8. The screenwriter should do a professional job with the movie script lines.
9. The music should be well played for exciting scenes.
10. The acting should not be cheesy or sloppy but should be done professionally.
11. The movie should not be censored in anyway but should allow for a PG or PG-13 rating
12. The 5 movies should be done in order and shown at the theater.
13. The movie should be released on DVD and should have a video game disc tie-in.
14. More money needs to be spent on making the movie better.

My Closing Thoughts on the Prydian movie remake.
Now that you know why I want a movie remake I'll do everything I can to get a better movie remake for Lloyd Alexanders legacy. By the way Lloyd Alexander the book author is dead so he won't get a chance to the movie (Except in Heaven where he can see the movie remake) Also there was a Sierra computer game The Black Cauldron with retro Kings Quest graphics. Hopefully there will be a Prydian video game remake in 3D computer animation with movie clips on Playstation 2, 3, 4 and Xbox 1, 360 or Nintendo Wii U or PC and a spinoff TV show called "The Foundling"
Prydian Fans, Now is the time to write letters or email the Disney company for a Black Cauldron movie remake. I will start the Petition for Disney to do a Prydian movie remake. I will also write the screenplay script for the movie, draw concept art pictures, and make music for it. My final thoughts are let's get the movie remade in Live Action or cartoon and hope it wins Academy awards.

Why I enjoyed playing Bubsy 3d playstation 1

My favorite forgotten cartoon playstation 1 game.

As you know I have played 2 Bubsy games on snes and I've beaten them and I've found a playstation 1 game Bubsy 3d that I've bought that most video game people called the worst. But the truth is it's not the worst game ever, in fact it was a pretty good game and I'll prove you why.

I mean come on people you can still win the game, even if the controls are stiff and the camera automatically turns overview for every jump you gotta have patience like me. And yes the atoms you fire with requires target aim before it explodes in your face. You have to jump on the nerdy aliens before their guns hurt Bubsy Bobcat. Also Bubsy gets to swim underwater. Also you have to find 2 rocket pieces in all 16 levels total 32 rocket pieces. And you get to fight 4 alien bosses. And the game is winnable.

I enjoyed the 2 cute funny cartoon movie introduction and ending with the aliens at the meeting and the 18 intermission scenes. I even enjoyed the military march music and the eerie music it was wonderful and made me happy. I find it funny that Bubsy wears only a shirt but no pants or shoes so you can see his furry bottom. Next time you come across a review article about Bubsy 3d don't believe them because they only complain about it and are usually ungrateful and rant alot.

You know in my theory, the reason why Bubsy Bobcat turns slow and looks down while he jumps is probably because he's got dizzy from the fog in planet Rayon and he does talk like a crazy cartoon character. By the way I've won Bubsy 3d game to perfection.

Now even though I liked Bubsy 3d there are alot of video game critics and audiences that boo and blast at Bubsy 3d playstation 1 and you know what I've found out. They are ungrateful picky video game people that like video games to be perfect in every way and have only perfect controls. And that makes me annoyed because no one is perfect and you can't always have your way in video games and it's hard to make video games especially when your work is rushed. Yes it's true that there are better made games like Spyro the Dragon has flexible controls. But I'm glad Accolade made Bubsy 3d. I'm glad it was made because it's a good game and best of all no swearing and no nasty violence. Only funny cartoon violence found in cartoon TV shows.

I do feel sorry for the Accolade company who were doing their best to make a good rated E Bubsy game and the video game people worked hard. The video game critics and audiences are fault finders looking only for mistakes and not focusing on the good in video games. And you have to remember Accolade company hasn't had experience with working with 3d games before.

I want to thank those that made Bubsy 1,2 and Bubsy 3d thank you for your hard work. I liked the instrumental music in it and the funny scenes in the game. Thanks Bubsy Bobcat creators for bringing joy to my life. I miss Bubsy Bobcat games and I'm sad there hasn't been anymore made since Bubsy 3d and I hope Bubsy Bobcat can one day comeback even in the afterlife. And one day I hope video game people will learn to be thankful people made video games and not be mean to video game makers.

In conclusion I just want you people to know there are much worse playstation games mainly ones that swear alot or have naughty pictures, or extreme violence, or have very bad glitches that make games not winnable. Those games I find horrible even the swearing and the naughty pictures and extreme violence and negative behavior I find offensive because I'm a Christan and I still believe in religion.

Now please don't blast at the game anymore I like this game and if you don't like it please don't be rude or swear about it. I will always remember it for the good and fun it had I hope that this blog article review helped you out thanks for reading.

One day I'll have a chance to remake Bubsy 3d with better graphics and controls and hopefully get it remade on Playstation 3,4 or Nintendo Wii U.
