The Black Cauldron (1985) Animation Cels


Never mind  the melting huntsmen. Here are two interesting animation cels from the production of The Black Cauldron (1985)

This cel (to me) is likely is from the deleted scene that was after the fair folk scene when the horned king  giving orders to Creeper before entering the room with the dead corpses. In the final film it was reworked as his introductory scene. 

edit: I'm not sure if this was ever made it to the color dailies. 
Maybe this item is probably a promotional animation cel.

This cel  at the bottom is the rejected character design of King Eiddileg of the Fair Folk (back when he was voiced by Jonathan Winters.)

 In the Final film Arthur Mallet (Mr. Dawes Jr. from Mary Poppins) was the voice. and King Eiddileg's character design was changed.
