Lord of the Rings Animated Version - 1978

It's interesting to look at the 1978 version of the Lord of the Rings now that the movie has been redone by New Line Cinemas...It's almost laughable-

These are Nazguls!?!? Noooo wayyyyyy.......

Denethor and palantir

Why does Gollum look like a frog?

Ushgarak's note on the animated versions
Treebeard did look bad.

But there is a SERIOUS mix-up here. Those shots of the Nazgul and Eagles are NOT from Bakshi's animated version, which was very dark and nasty and the Nazguls looked fantastic. Bakshi's version only got to the end of Helms' Deep, remember. There was no Denethor and Palantir and so on.

And that is NOT Gollum. The link given by Kitoky above shows the actual Gollum pics. You have mixed up shots from a DIFFERENT production.

I am a big fan of the animated version and I would ask for accuracy in criticism of it. It was a very well made production and like I say, the Nazguls were far scarier than the ones in the film.

PJ also liked the animated version very much and several scenes in the first two films are taken directly from it.

😆 Those are hilarious! My dad liked 1978 version, I haven't seen it...I want to! Interesting how ppl interpret how things are and look...

😆

And oh Kit, do you have any pic of the Balrog with the butterfly wings? 😆 It's laughable indeed. I'm most thankful of the version PJ made that we are enjoying right now. 😄

It is i wonder if you can rent it at a movie store? I really would like to take a look at it

You can buy it at a store like Walmart...don't know if it's worth it-

*looks at Gollum again* Definate Frog

indeed, it would be fun to watch that and than watch the pj one. make pj's look even better

He's a frog! The precious! *ribbit*

Look at these...good thing the Eagles looks like.....yeah...Eagles...you're lucky Discos. 😛

i must see the movie now

Balrog with butterfly wings! *rolls on floor laughin*

Boromir the lost Viking

Elrond, the gansta

Legolas and Gimli - THEY ALMOST MAKE LEGOLAS GOOD, EVEN IF IT'S HALF-GOOD!

Argonath- Looks like Dwarves that has Arthritis...

Me too!

Edit: AAAH! Balroog with butterfly wings! Viking Boromir! Elrond??! OMG! This is just...too weird. Must see 1978 versions NOW! (almost put 1798...hehe...I'm a bit dyslexic...)

The only good thing is that we have Glorfindel...Kit, you're lucky too. 😛

Then again, this could be Legolas.

That's not Glorfindel, that's Legolas, that can't be Glorfindel unless they made Glorfindel and Legolas twins.

Elrond Gangsta *snickers*

bwahahahaha!!!! Boromir of Gondor!?! Dude, he's carrying a horn, not wearing a horn!!
