The Disney movie takes the first two books, mashes them together, excises a fair chunk of the main characters, and comes up with a vaguely related story. Lloyd Alexander himself said it best: "It's a good story, but it's not my story."<br /><br />I'm not even sure it's a good story. It was Disney's first animated feature to be released with a PG rating and the reasons are obvious.<br /><br />You'll do well to take the (short) time to read at least the first two books. Characters such as Prince Gwydion, Prince Ellidyr, King Morgant, Adaon, Achren, and Arawn play important roles in the story. Not to mention the plot, while revolving around The Black Cauldron, is entirely different.<br /><br />I did enjoy the game's interface and thought it fun to play through.Cush1978https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176113111548747865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-22166073750482145262012-04-25T06:52:17.537+10:002012-04-25T06:52:17.537+10:00If we're going to discuss how good the books a...If we're going to discuss how good the books are, how about the mythology its based on as well?

Taran bumbles his way through all five books, making poor decisions and getting himself in trouble through a sort of "Lawful Stupid" mentality, then finds that his hard-knock life earned him the wisdom to heal the land at the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-83144234336201832952012-02-02T14:19:29.072+11:002012-02-02T14:19:29.072+11:001) Mmmm, bacon.

Taran, with the help of a princess named Eilonwy, a bard named Fflewddur Fflam not, and a strange creature named Gurgi established to prevent this, and how he found witches, elves, magic swords, and the boiler.
