any chance of there ever being a restored cut?


Before worthless sack of shit Jeffrey Katzenberg took out 12 minutes? I'm not a fan of restored editions, more often than not the theatrical cut is the best, but I think the scenes and stuff cut from this could have been good.

I came here to wonder the same. I assume the version on Hulu is the theatrical release?

reply

don't have hulu but apparently there's only the theatrical version available.

Supposedly there was a fire and it was all lost. I doubt those 12 minutes would affect the quality of the overall movie, though. As much as I'd love to see them, the film as a whole manages to a poor(ish) film and a terrible, terrible adaptation of a good book. Well, it's more of an adaptation of the first book in the series, "The Book of Three", with a little bit of "The Black Cauldron" inserted.

a fire?? didn't know that. I saw the black cauldron and was loving it at first then it quickly went south, I recently downloaded it again and will give it a second chance. It's still better than fucking Frozen, I mean we are in the pits right now.
