ORGOCH: What dang map, sister? We ain't even on the radar! ORDDU: Then perhaps this article will help to get us the recognition we all deserve, dear. ORWEN: You mean we might still get a chance to be stars?! And even get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? ORGOCH: In yer case, fat-so, it'd take a whole boulevard ta fit in yer dang star! ORDDU: Now, sisters, let's not allow ourselves to become divided at a time such as this--when we might actually be able to draw to ourselves some POSITIVE attention for a change. ORWEN: Well, I just wish there could be ONE TIME when a certain nasty old biddy didn't have to ruin things with her fowl temper! And I also wish the people at Disney animation would get around to cleaning up and restoring THE BLACK CAULDRON the way they've done with so many OTHER animated classics. If they did that, we might REALLY shine! ORDDU: Yes, they really should take the time to restore and clean up THE BLACK CAULDRON to it's original glory. Perhaps this article will be the catalyst for such a worthwhile project!! ORGOCH: Got Lysol?

Originally Posted By disney_beta I can't help but be disappointed at this film when looking at the concept art and then seeing what actually came to be. The concept visuals are beautiful, and what do we get instead? Fairies that look like miniature multi-colored Santas and a cute-and-cuddly Gurgi. Not to mention a recycled villain. I think it would have been much wiser for Disney to choose a book that was a stand-alone story instead of choose on book out of a much longer series.
