A Thailand-based DVD distributor held a New Year's party and handed out booklets that showed their 2009 Disney DVD release slate. "The Black Cauldron" was listed in the book for a 2009 re-release:
We don't have any information on that title as of yet.Well, there's information now!
Disney's imported, dubbed film "The Secret of the Magic Gourd " is coming to DVD on January 27th. One of the previews is for a 'The Black Cauldron: Special Edition'. This was revealed on the Hi-Def Digest forums:

All there is is a trailer. We have no further information. This could possibly contain some of the infamous cuts made to the film, that is not known. Also, The film was restored around 2002 by a comapny called Lowry Digital to make a 2k Master from the original negative. This restored version of the film has been put on DVD in France and Korea, but not in the U.S.
There has only been one Region 01 DVD release in the states before, and many Disney fans have complained about the edits, the lack of anamorphic widescreen, and a poor transfer. This 'special edition' may be Disney's response to that.
Don't hold your breath for the cuts being on the DVD, but it's safe to say this will have anamorphic widescreen and be the restoration.
"The Black Cauldron" released in 1985. It was Disney's first PG-rated animated classic. It has since fallen into minor obscurity and is not often recognized by Disney.

The Black Cauldron is a 1985 American animated fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and originally released to theatres on July 24, 1985.
That looks like a pepsi card album did you remember? Nice magazine and congrats 'cause that edition it's hard to find.
I'll try to get this DVD. My son wants to watch this film since.... I guess since ever and this is my opportunity to get his love.
For The Black Cauldron, a new way to transfer drawings to cels was invented, called the APT process.
This is a good movie. Children will surely love it.
