If it's by Lloyd Alexander (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lloyd_Alexander), that's the right stuff. Disney based the movie off of the books, which were published 20 some years earlier.

The Black Cauldron is the second in the series, though I'm sure you could start with it. If I recall correctly, the movie takes plot elements from a few of the books, rather than strictly following the novel's arc.

Somehow, I grew up on those books (and have yet to find anyone else who did D:) and didn't find out about the Disney movie long after I'd read the series. They are just...one-hundred-percent. Hope you like em!

I'm sure there's been some picture book adaptation, but none of them would have been by Lloyd Alexander.

I'm not even old enough to remember the movie's release, so... Yeah.

Me neither. I have no recollection of how I got started with these books, just that I was obsessed with them and seem destined to be forever totally and utterly alone in my fannishness. WOE.

Fear not! I too grew up on Lloyd Allexander's books! I've never actually seen the movie, though. I know perhaps one person who owns it.

But yeah, Castle of Llyr was my first. It was in my elementary school library, and after reading it I went on a great crusade to find the rest. This culminated in me doing a comparative project between it and Lord of the Rings in 9th grade...

But I feel your pain about the loneliness. I had to introduce most of my friends to it, and none of them love it quite as much.
