Aw, man! Now I remember this book, because of Hen Wen pig! So it's THAT Dallben! Aaaaw, now I get it! Disney made an animation based on this story, wasn't it?

Yes! Disney's 1984 animated film, The Black Cauldron, was based on this book and the next one in the series. I hate the movie, though. It's got some groundbreaking animation but the story is a mess, even on its own. As an adaptation it's just horrible. They completely lost all the heart of the story.
About a year ago Disney announced they had plans to pursue a live action adaptation but that doesn't seem to have gone anywhere yet. The lack of a decent movie adaptation that is faithful to the books was one of my motivating factors for doing this project. I dreamed for years of a film, knew that even if they did one it would probably not live up to my expectations, and realized one day that graphic novels are basically finished, detailed storyboards. So - this is my film! lol

It's so cool to see how this story touched you:) That's why your version is solid and impressive, it's being made with heart.
