8 Movie Scenes You Didn't See (Thanks To Test Audiences)

Potentially Disney's darkest release, the 80's animation The Black Cauldron is all your classic fantasy dreams bought to life, with everything from magical princesses to a prescient pig. Yes, you read that right, and it brings a whole new meaning to Babes Gone Wild.

In true Lord of the Rings style, the narrative sees a young boy, Taran, face up against the ultimate evil, The Horned King, in a bid to try and stop him from obtaining a magical cauldron that will allow him to take over the world with an undead army of spooky skeletons. Obviously, it isn't the usual Disney fare - following the trend for unsettling animation that seemed to take a hold of the 70s and 80s that made it the first film to earn the studio a PG rating.

The first test screenings saw crying children galore, fleeing from the cinema after being terrified by the creation of undead monsters through the titular Black Cauldron; of which a fractional amount of footage remains in the final cut. Turns out kids don't really like seeing people melted down in their cartoons.

A commercial failure and one of the most expensive animations Disney had done, it's no wonder nothing else similar was attempted after release - even though the film has gained cult status over the years it's been in circulation.
