[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 3373924, member: 151"] Well, I'm with Buzz. I loved the Hobbit from the minute it showed up on TV. John Huston WAS the voice of Gandalf, to me, until Ian McKellen took his place. John Hurt WAS the voice of Aragorn, until Viggo Mortensen replaced him. Bakshi's Lord of the Rings could have been a masterpiece...instead it's a wasted potential that starts so well and ends so poorly. I remember being irritated that Boromir was transformed from the proud captain of Gondor to a fricking Viking, for example. [URL=http://www.scifilm.org/reviews3/bakshilotr.html]Clearly[/URL] , some [URL=http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/bakshi/bakshi.htm]other folks[/URL] [URL=http://home.netcom.com/~zmoq/pages/RBLOTR.htm]agreed with me[/URL] . Of course, the Rankin-Bass production is really messy...but I don't think it was the problem of being a hack job so much as poor editing and too many script revisions. It was clearly made to finish the story...but it also tries to stand on its own (as a TV movie that couldn't assume the viewers had seen the other movie) and really suffers for it. And yes, Casey Kasem, Gah. But it has some real gems in it, too. They use a lot of Tolkien's watercolors for reference and it's visually quite pleasing in parts. They actually do some things (like Denethor's Palantir) that aren't seen elsewhere. And they don't have....THIS: [IMG]http://www.scifilm.org/images3/bakshilotr3.jpg[/IMG] or these guys: :) [IMG]http://home.netcom.com/~zmoq/graphics/lotr_8.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
