1978 Animated Lord of the Rings Movie Now $5 on Amazon

Although the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies are widely celebrated, they weren't the first cinematic venture into J.R.R. Tolkien's universe. The initial adaptation was the animated version of "The Hobbit" released in 1977, followed closely by the animated "The Lord of the Rings" in 1978. Whether you're familiar with these classics or discovering them for the first time, you're in luck because the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 Lord of the Rings animated movie is currently on sale for just $5 on Amazon.

The 1978 rendition of "The Lord of the Rings" is a unique blend of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live-action footage. A fascinating detail is a scene where Aragorn trips and falls; this was an unscripted moment that was kept in the final animation, adding to the film's charm and authenticity. These quirky elements make the movie a delightful watch.

At just $5, this DVD version is an unbeatable deal, especially since it's been remastered for enhanced quality. It's a must-have for collectors and fans alike, even if you already own other Lord of the Rings Blu-rays.
