We are talking about the beginning of the near end of Disney Animation with 1985's The Black Cauldron. This film involves a huge management turnover, one of the last uses of the Disney Multiplane camera, one of the first uses of CGI, the most expensive animated movie until 1994's The Lion King and Disneys first PG rated animated filmThe Black Cauldron nearly killed Walt Disney Animation and represents a huge shift at the studio.
