Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Although it was ultimately overshadowed by Peter Jackson's live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic is not without charms of its own. A target of derision from intolerant fans, this ambitious production is nevertheless a respectably loyal attempt to animate the first half of Tolkien's trilogy, beginning with the hobbit Frodo's inheritance of "the One Ring" of power from Bilbo Baggins, and ending with the wizard Gandalf's triumph over the evil army of orcs. While the dialogue is literate and superbly voiced by a prestigious cast (including John Hurt as Aragorn), Leonard Rosenman's accomplished score effectively matches the ominous atmosphere that Bakshi's animation creates and sustains. Bakshi's lamentable decision to combine traditional cel animation with "rotoscoped" (i.e., meticulously traced) live-action footage is jarringly distracting and aesthetically disastrous, but when judged by its narrative content, this Lord of the Rings deserves more credit than it typically receives. --Jeff Shannon

i saw this for the first time today. being a fan of the live action trilogy and the animated Hobbit movie i figured i would enjoy this movie... and to an extent i did but i think my main gripe was how all the characters seemed to move very un natural. it seemed like everybody kept swaying back and forth and ran/walked awkward. it was a tad distracting. at first i thought the rotoscope animation was cool but towards the end they started to over use it and it got annoying and inconsistant. i realize ...

I read the books in the early 70's and passed them on to friends. I still have a set in the house and recently bought all the movies. The movies are not quite up to the books but the last ones are close. I throughly enjoyed them.

I remember when this first came out. I was a kid.
As a kid, who had never read Tolkien, I found it somewhat entertaining and it left off at a cliffhanger. It was not until I was older when I realized two things 1)no one had ever done Tolkien before (other than Rankin Bass) and 2)no second part would ever be made.
Upon its own merit, it's not terrible. Bakshi who enjoys using rotoscope technology and reused stock animation did an okay, yet annoying job. The one thing that ... Read More

This was a wonderful movie from so long ago, I had it on VHS and now I have it on DVD. Thanks for sending it to me so quickly, and the case was in perfect condition.

I saw this way back in about 1981 or something. In fact I saw it even before I read the books. I remember thinking it, in an uncritical 11 year olds view, as a pretty good movie.
I saw this again recently, and although I now see that it has some major flaws, I don't outright dismiss it as terrible.
Bad things first.
1)Okay, even in 1981 I thought it odd that the film skipped massive parts of the later parts of the trilogy. If you're wanting to see the whole trilogy ... Read More
