When John Huston (voice of Gandalf from Rankin/Bass’ The Hobbit 1977 and The Return of the King 1980 and Director of The Maltese Falcon 1941) came to Disney to record the narration for The Black Cauldron

excerpt from Jeremiah Good’s Laughing Place article The Black Cauldron at the El Capitan Theatre:

“One of those moments where you know you just heard a story that very few have heard came when Hahn asked Hale
how John Huston came about as being the narrator at the opening of the film
and Hale said, “Roy E. Disney suggested using him because he always wanted to meet John Huston.” But, as it turned out,
Roy never got a chance to meet Huston because Hale spent the entire time talking to him about his war footage he had shot.”
