The first Disney animated film that's not a musical, does not contain any songs neither performed by characters, nor in the background.
Known by many as "the movie Disney tried to bury", fans of the fantasy genre and this movie have tried many times to get the deleted footage restored.
The film received no video releases until 1998, due to its dark content and poor box office performance.
The management team at Walt Disney Productions changed during this movie's post-production in 1984. Jeffrey Katzenberg, then-newly installed Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios' motion picture division, screened the nearly completed movie and he was appalled by its darkness and graphic nature. He suggested editing the movie and when Producer Joe Hale protested (animated movies are typically not edited in post-production the same way live-action movies are), Katzenberg responded by having the movie brought into an edit bay and editing it. Informed of what Katzenberg was doing by Hale, Michael Eisner, then-newly installed CEO and Chairman of Walt Disney Productions, called Katzenberg in the editing room and convinced him to stop. Though he did what Eisner insisted, Katzenberg requested that the movie be modified, and a compromise deal was reached. Katzenberg, then, delayed its scheduled Christmas 1984 release to July 1985 so that the movie could be re-worked. Had it not gone through many last-minute drastic changes, this movie would have held the distinction of being the only full-length Disney animated movie, and the first movie released under the Walt Disney Pictures banner to be rated either PG-13 or R by the MPAA. After several months of hard work, the final cut ultimately received a PG rating from the MPAA, the first for a Disney animated movie, and the only one until Dinosaur (2000).
This was the first Walt Disney movie to feature the "classic" Walt Disney Pictures logo: the white castle and text over a blue field. This logo would be used until the new CGI logo was introduced with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006).
"Gurgi: Oh, poor miserable Gurgi deserves fierce smackings and whackings on his poor, tender head. Always left with no munchings and crunchings."
"Eilonwy: I'm Princess Eilonwy. Are you a lord, or a warrior? Taran: Uh, no. Uh... I-I-I'm an assistant pig keeper. Eilonwy: Oh, what a pity. I was so hoping for someone who could help me escape. Oh, well, if you want to come with me, you may."
