His undead army scared the loving shit out of me as a child. Gurgi was annoying but actually made the movie goofy enough to keep it from just being straight up terrifying. The Prydain series is the material Disney should be remaking.

100000000% agree. Honestly, the only Disney remake I would ever want.

I just went down the rabbit hole, and forgot Don Bluth was supposed to work on the original but that’s when he split. Apparently Disney reclaimed the rights for The Prydain Chronicles back in 2016…we’re waiting.

Nobody wants to do fairy tales in Hollywood. They'd try to make it a fantasy epic like the LotR trilogy and lose some of the simpler charms of the stories. With that said, there's absolutely great material in the Chronicles of Prydain and Taran's journey from boy to man absolutely should be translated into a good work some day.
