The Black Cauldron (Walt Disney 1985) animation art. Cauldron Born Soldier Color Model Cel over dark green paper

Revised: I replaced the images with a 300dpi scan that represents the condition much more accurately. (4/15/25)

16”x28” Ink and paint on an animation cel, with dark green background paper. Art is noted as “production cel 0128. Same as 103 Blk.” The “Blk” denotes the paint used for the out line of the figure. This cel was created as an animation and color test for the Walt Disney film the Black Cauldron. The paint is adhered to the paper and will not separate from it.

FYI, Tim Burton, creator of Beetlejuice, Nightmare before Christmas and many other classics, was an artist on the development of Black Cauldron.

The Black Cauldron is a 1985 American animated dark fantasy adventure film produced by Walt Disney Productions in association with Silver Screen Partners II and released by Walt Disney Pictures.[1] It is loosely based on the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander, a series of five novels that are in turn based on Welsh mythology.
Set in the mythical land of Prydain during the Early Middle Ages, the film centers on a wicked emperor known as the Horned King, who hopes to secure an ancient magical cauldron that will aid him in his desire to conquer the world. He is opposed by young swineherder Taran, the young Princess Eilonwy, the harp-playing bardFflewddur Fflam, and a friendly wild creature named Gurgi, who seek to destroy the cauldron to prevent the Horned King from ruling the world.

This is from out of my personal collection and will only be up for sale for a limited time.

Art will ship in plastic, between multiple sheets of cardboard and in an art box clearly marked fragile. I ship fast and secure. Tracking available on every transaction. I will combine Art lots to save on shipping.
