The Lord of the Rings (1978)

Edit this Page
Ralph Bakshi Director previously directed Wizards

An animated interpretation of the Tolkien's classic. Dramatic styling and the use of rotoscoping make this a visual treat. Originally the first of a 3 part adaptation, it was never completed due to a lack of funding.
