I loved the Bakshi version, too, but was inspired to another level again by the majestic BBC Radio 4 series which included two actors reprising their roles from the animated film: Michael Graham Cox (Boromir) and Peter Woodthorpe (Gollum).

In my home town, there was a theater that showed all the good sci fis, and fantasy films. Ralph Bakshi movies, Star Trek films, etc. One of my first movies at that theater was that one. I was just a kid. It was so not-Disney.
yeah... I'm that old.

It's crazy to think I was in my early 20s when the Lord of the Rings movies came out.
LotR is SUCH a part of the cultural zeitgeist now but when I was growing up it was a weird cartoon by Ralph Bakshi and books that were popular but within their niche (and almost considered proto-fantasy)

Looking at the comparison between Bakshi and Jackson's LOTR... you can tell the former was trying until the latter perfected it.

I remember seeing Cool World when it aired on HBO while I was in a hotel room (Maybe it took place during the mid 2000's?), and the whole animation was done by Ralph Bakshi.
No surprise to think I have a soft spot on his art style, I imagine.

La peli de The Clone Wars era una chusta pero nos dio la estupenda serie de 7 temporadas.
La versión animada de El Señor de los Anillos de Ralph Bakshi estaba incompleta y la animación era rara pero nos dio la obra maestra que es la trilogía de Peter Jackson.

C'est un film d'animation donc "forcément" ya des persos qui font des salto de 5 metres. Mais je suis étonné par la technique, on a de l'anim tradi, de la 3D, des décors qui ont l'air peint, pas mal de rotoscopie aussi ( peut etre un clin d'oeil au film de bakshi )
Et bien sur le theme du rohan <3
