History Trivia / TheBlackCauldron

** The film was initially meant to be even [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]], but many scenes were cut by Katzenberg before its release.

** The cuts were made to keep it from getting the R rating because the PG-13 rating hadn't been invented yet. Imagine if the cuts weren't made (some of the footage Katzenberg had cut actually made it to the film's trailer on early copies of the 1985 VHS of ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'').

** After watching a test screening, the then-newly appointed studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg wanted to cut out the less family-friendly parts of the film. The animation team explained that animated footage isn't typically edited like live-action and refused to make the necessary changes. Katzenberg personally tried to edit the film before then-CEO Michael Eisner got him to back off. A compromise was eventually reached to cut out 12 minutes.

** The Horned King occasionally makes appearances such as in ''VideoGame/DisneyHeroesBattleMode'' and ''WesternAnimation/ChibiTinyTales'', and all the characters were featured in the company’s MassiveMultiplayerCrossover for the 100th anniversary, ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAStudio''. At the same time, however, it was one of the films excluded from the credits of ''WesternAnimation/Wish2023'' (the MilestoneCelebration feature for the centennial), making it unclear how Disney feels about the movie (ironically, ''Wish'' ended up a BoxOfficeBomb and critical failure comparable to this film).
