Who is Taran?
Taran is the protagonist of Disney’s The Black Cauldron (1985), an animated fantasy film based on Lloyd Alexander’s The Chronicles of Prydain series.
Taran is an assistant pig-keeper with dreams of becoming a great warrior. His life changes when he discovers that Hen Wen, the magical pig he tends, possesses the power to locate the legendary Black Cauldron—a tool capable of creating an army of undead soldiers for the evil Horned King. Determined to protect Hen Wen and thwart the Horned King’s dark plans, Taran embarks on a perilous journey that transforms him from a headstrong youth into a courageous and selfless hero.
Throughout his quest, Taran forms bonds with unlikely companions, including Princess Eilonwy, the lovable creature Gurgi, and the bard Fflewddur Fflam. Together, they navigate the dangers of Prydain, learning the values of teamwork, sacrifice, and inner strength. Taran’s character reflects the universal journey of growth and the realization that true heroism lies in bravery and selflessness rather than glory and recognition.
Taran was voiced by Grant Bardsley, whose portrayal brought youthful exuberance and earnestness to the character.
