No Disney fantasy? Such Sword in the Stone? And I will never forget the prince-paladin versus the black dragon-queen in Sleeping Beauty. Frozen is equally fantastic.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail may be referenced in more D&D sessions than any other movie, animated or live-action.

By “Fellowship of the Ring”, do you mean Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings​?

Yes. My bad. I was going by memory and must have mixed up the title.

That song wasn't in the one you upvoted, but in Return of the King. I misnamed it, but Fellowship of the ring/Lord of the Rings was the middle one done by Bakshi, not Rankin. It was the one where they did live action scenes, and painted over it with animation in typical Bakshi fashion.

Upvote for Bakshi’s Wizards. It’s weird and 70s-tastic, and I love it for all of that. Not to mention, the Ian Miller backgrounds!

Downvote for Tales of Earthsea. It’s okay, but there seems to be some essential magic of LeGuin’s tale that eludes adaptation.

I love that movie, because it exposed me early to one of my favorite artists of all time: Mike Ploog. Ploog did all the still scene artwork, and his style is unmistakable. I love those curves and heavy lines. I don't know for a fact, but I'm 99% positive that Ploog was the key inspiration behind Bill Willingham (another of my favorite artists who did much of the b/w work in the Basic/Expert sets). The similarities are uncanny in style.
