Survivor Thread: Animated Fantasy Movies--Hobbit Wins!

[GreyLord]

I saw the cartoon before I read the book(s). So I was looking for the "Where There's a Whip" song in the text.

That's actually from the Return of the King cartoon. Bakshi's Lord of the Ring's cartoon was pretty long and boring. Jackson however got many of his ideas (and even copied scenes directly using Bakshi's movie as a precursor guide apparently from what it looks like) to make a far superior live action movie.

Bakshi’s Lord of the Rings is one of those movies that I love despite its flaws (which, make no mistake, are many). In its favor, the voice acting is quite good, some of the backgrounds and still shots look incredible, and those Nazgul. As a kid, the rotoscoped Ringwraiths unnerved me. As an adult, I think they look pretty dang metal:
