The 1978 animated Lord of the Rings is a cinematic treasure often overlooked in favor of Peter Jackson's celebrated trilogy. Preceding Jackson's work, this animated adaptation, released just a year after a similar animated Hobbit, offers a unique viewing experience.
Currently, Amazon offers a remarkable deal: the remastered deluxe edition of this classic is available for only $5!

This version cleverly blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unique approach even resulted in an unplanned, yet charming, scene featuring Aragorn's accidental tumble – a delightful imperfection that adds to the film's character.
At $5, this remastered DVD is a steal, a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you're not planning an immediate viewing. For more deals, explore Amazon's Presidents' Day sale.
