Born with Autism (formerly classified as Asperger syndrome), Tyler B. Searle has been obsessed with storytelling since he was old enough to speak. He gravitated towards fairy tales, mythology, the fantasy genre, and animated movies and shows aimed at family audiences.
The fantasy genre has always had a rather tumultuous time on the big screen. Despite the film medium feeling like a natural fit for a genre about transporting audiences to other worlds, fantasy movies require large budgets to come to life, which means that when they fail, studios are less inclined to try again.
The Black Cauldron is one of Disney's biggest financial flops, and on release was outperformed by The Care Bears Movie. That said, there are things to enjoy, such as the animation, which uses its improved budget to create something stylistically closer to gems like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs than what Disney was producing in the 1970s and 1980s. Today, The Black Cauldron is often considered among Disney's most misunderstood movies and a highlight of the pre-Renaissance days.
Compared to the first two films in The Chronicles of Narnia franchise, Voyage of the Dawn Treader makes the most changes from the book, which had low stakes and was an episodic adventure better suited for television. Not all the changes are bad, though: Tilda Swinton makes another appearance as the spirit of Jadis and does a wonderful job serving as a face for the green mist and the devil who tries to tempt Edmund.
Warcraft had the impossible task of adapting decades' worth of lore into a single movie, so the story does suffer quite a bit due to condensed events. Fortunately, the film is at its best when it focuses on the orc characters: they are portrayed as a varied and complex group with multiple factions who like and dislike one another, and both Durotan and Gul'Dan shine through thanks to their performances and fulfill the classic hero and villain archetypes.
