The Second VHS Release, The DVDs and Bluray

                                                     Blogger's Note: revised my post.

In the year 2000 The Black Cauldron was reissued on VHS for the Halloween season under the Walt Disney Gold Classic Collection along with the classic Donald Duck short Trick or Treat (1952)

also the same year, The Black Cauldron had it's first DVD release. presented in the letter box widescreen for 4:3 tube TVs format. Bonus features include the Donald Duck short Trick or Treat (1952), art Galleries, a DVD set top game and the 4:3 "Theatrical" Trailer.

The 2000 DVD release also has the 1985 French dub with the alternate title in English (from the limited theatrical reissue)
and the Spanish dub.


another Disney rarity also had a VHS reissue and a DVD debut along side The Black Cauldron,

The Adventures Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)

In 2010 The Black Cauldron was reissued on DVD. this time the film got the remastered treatment and presented in animorphic widescreen for 16:9  flat screen TVs.

The 2010 25th Anniversary DVD release also has the 1998 French dub and the Spanish dub

along with the deleted alternate fair folk scene (I speculate was from early in production in ether 1982 or 1983?)

and a few classic bonus features from the 2000 DVD release.

The film did made it's way to the streaming services and  Disney+

Update:  As of May 4th 2021, The Black Cauldron is now on Bluray as part of the Disney Movie Club Bluray Exclusives

 Laserdisc of the 1998 French dub of Disney's The Black Cauldron (1985)

presented in letterbox widescreen for the old 4:3 tube TVs.

 odd that this is one of those films that has yet to get a laserdisc release in  U.S. back in  the day.

The long awaited VHS in 1997 for the UK and 1998 for the USA

After Disney Released the film to theaters, The Black Cauldron was withheld from home video release for the rest of the 1980's and early to mid 1990's.

Two years after Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney,
 a successful petition campaign by Chris Baker convinced Disney to release it on video.

 the film  finally had a video release.
