But as long as it does, I will add my 2 cents... I think that they are both wonderful, but you are kidding yourself if you think the animated films are better than the PJ masterpieces. I mean, c'mon. I can live without the animated dvd's, but I was foaming at the mouth for my Return of the King DVD this may, and I am already feining for my Extended Edition, LOL...
So, in brief, they are both great, but The LOTR by Peter Jackson takes the cake.
or you can just ignore said thread and be done with it...
quite a few people are fascinated by the fact that there was an animated version, though badly done compared to PJ's work, still nonetheless for those that do, e.g., me, do happen to like it...it is a small gem in all things Tolkien...
True,
Galadriel's words in the Mirror-scene were also exactly the same - at least in the German versions - but in the animated version Galadriel says it in such a childish and happy way that it ruins the wonderful text it sounds like singing a children's song or something PJs version also exaggerates a little with the "dark queen" and whatnot, but I still like it better than the animated one
Hm, the Ringwraiths were funny... especially their horses... one or two of them had horns and they could apparate and disapparate
The orcs were imo stupid I'm also not really happy with PJs idea of what they look like, but the animated ones were simply silly and had weird teeth

I think it's sad that all the filmmakers see orcs so un-human
Of course they were not elfy-prissy, but that doesnt mean they had 5cm-long teeth and slit eyes and grunt instead of speaking
