In  the  mystical  land of Prydain, Taran, a young boy who dreams of a

mysterious Black Cauldron, or the Horned King will unleash its  power
and   take   over   the   world.   With   the   help  of a magic sword, an
enchanting princess, an  adorable  clairvoyant  pig,  and  a  furry  little
creature  named  Gurgi,  Taran overcomes winged dragons, the King's
monstrous henchmen, three batty witches,  and  more  --  and  learns
nothing is as powerful as courage and friendship.
