Taran is an assistant pigkeeper with boyish dreams of becoming a great warrior. However, he has to put the daydreaming aside when his charge, an oracular pig named Hen Wen, is kidnapped by an evil lord known as the Horned King. The villain hopes Hen will show him the way to The Black Cauldron, which has the power to create a giant army of unstoppable soldiers.
A dark, shadow-drenched fantasy realm emerges through some of the most striking hand-drawn animation of the eighties. This eerie quest follows a pigkeeper caught between his lofty dreams and the terrifying reach of a skeletal king.
