While many fans fondly remember Peter Jackson's epic adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, it's worth noting that the cinematic journey began with the animated version of The Hobbit in 1977. Following closely, the animated The Lord of the Rings graced the screen in 1978, bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved world to life in a unique way.
If you haven't yet experienced this animated classic or are looking to add it to your collection, now is the perfect time. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 The Lord of the Rings animated movie is currently on sale for just $5 on Amazon.
