• Premiere (first dubbing) : 11/29/1985
• Premiere (second dubbing) : 07/01/1998 (VHS release)

• There are two Swedish dubs of this film. The first from 1985 and the second from 1998.
• Several scenes were cut out of the Swedish 1985 dub as the censors thought they were inappropriate for children. These scenes were not dubbed in the original dub. The scenes that were cut are in the third YouTube video.
• The original dub is unavailable for public viewing as it is being kept in the Swedish Archives. There are several extracts that have been uploaded online which are the only pieces to be publicly viewable.
• The second dubbing was made for the first sales (and only) VHS release in 1998. The reason for the creation of the second dub was to dub the scenes cut from the Swedish premiere.

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.

The Comic Book of the Film

 The comic book panals follow a little bit close to that of the storyboards, with some abridged and altered dialogue.

some of the deleted stuff made it in the comic. And a addition to note: the dialogue has been dumbed down for this comic book, 

(like the 1985 Theatrical Cut, the violent parts that Jeffery Katzenberg and the Disney employees cut did not make it to the comic book)

here are some glimpses 

although  the some parts of the panels in this comic resembels the the earlier alternate fairfolk scene from 1983

the rest resemembels the finalized film

what was trimed

Like in the story boards these comic panels prove this scene was a bit longer

you might think it is strange to see deleted and alternate stuff in the comic book. 

back then it was common for comic book adaptations of movies to have such things,
