Nostalgia Critic - LOTR Animated vs LOTR Live Action Review Trailer

[spongebobcrazy24]

did you do old vs new: alvin and the chipmunks cartoon vs alvin and the chipmunks movie? if not then can you do it?

[nfn58]

the two versions are at some parts identical, the characters look really similar, at times they use the same movements in the same scenes... then again at some times one is has a darker affect over the other... they're both awesome

[ImNotScaryImBoredLOL]

yup i watched the animated version when i was a kid,....not as good as the realife version.

[maarhoefe]

its different the animated was good i think it was just different

[chadricka]

apples and oranges man, apple and oranges.

[asdfers]

@chadricka

naval oranges and blood oranges would be a better analogy, seeing as how they are pretty much identical.

[cabbagelad]

Bakshi.  Not Bashki. Innit?

[UridonTheMaster]

omg i have the cartoon movie! i loved that as a kid

[016899]

bakshi not bashki

[IamCorgidan]

What's the Jackson's movies song??????

[genkitaiash]

this is just a hypithetical kind of thing he probably wouldn't do this what about old cartoonnetwork vs new cartoonnetwork

[Darkinsigniosis]

I'll always remember how Gandalf used to flail his arms madly as he annunciated in the cartoon version. I guess the animators where taking speed or something and produced far more elaborate frames than was necessary.

[shikamarunara472]

what's s that song name

[PrettyGirlSailorMoon]

Never heard of them before? I thought everyone knew about those old movies. When I was little it would come on Nickelodeon along with The Last Unicorn and stuff.

[illbetilbake]

wasn't the animated film's director r. bakshi? why is he pronouncing it as 'bashki'? or is that the correct pronounciation?

[Barclay1987]

Cool!

[trinacrys134]

"Oh, I'm crazy? Those fuckin' hobbit movies were boring as hell. All it was, was a bunch of people walking, three movies of people walking to a fucking volcano. ... Even the fuckin' trees walked in those movies. "

[Keroshino]

nice...Clerks 2 reference

[seatspud]

It's a shame he didn't mention the balrog . . .

Bakshi's version in particular!

[MorrowTHEjedi]

Yeah I guess its a giant sized omission

[FuckingPolitics]

they are making a movie about hobbit =)

[xtNinjaKillertx]

they are

[uponangelwings]

I own both movies (old one and new trilogy), so I know how different both versions are. In fact, the reason why I own the old one is because its so frigging hilarious. My friend and I found in on TV late one night and died laughing. Sam was so ugly, Legolas has almost no lines an just poses gaily the whole time, Mary and Pippin's hair is constantly changing color, and there is one slow-mo scene where Aaragon is running ans WIPES OUT!

[qwertyMrJINX]

Oh, I thought he'd be comparing it to that cartoon that only did The Hobbit and Return of the King.

I've never heard of this cartoon incarnation

[uponangelwings]

With good reason. We have all agreed never to mention this movie ever again.

[doesyourgodcomeinaca]

Doug is a machine!!!

[uponangelwings]

That's what she said...

[FuckingPolitics]

tell that the oscars they won =D

[MorrowTHEjedi]

Great review!

[kman9800]

I saw the animated movie based on the third book and I never saw it again. The Peter Jackson films however, I now watch when I have the chance.

[g4cilo]

i seen the old one's before they shoyed on cartoonetwork once.

[communistrecords]

They were both pretty good. You just have to be in the right mood to watch either.

[vmiki888]

What is here the question?

The new film trilogy is the beste, what i ever seen and this cartoon is....

[F1NFreak]

Whoa.. I had no idea that there were an animated LOTR movie!

[wwereaper]

i had this fucking movie when i was a kid and god it sucked hard i never saw the whole thing XD

[kman9800]

I have to admit, I like the animated movie's theme.

[jaws900]

LOTR is the best dam book of all time. J.R.R Tolkien is the only person who made me pick up a fictonal book and read it of my own free will. Jacksons is the best by far tho and the other one is not even close. The PJ LOTR will go down in film history alogn with Ghost busters, Star Wars etc. Whist the other one is forgotten for a reason.

[TheGingerfan]

i hope the animated version wins, i havent eveseen it but GOD i hated jackson's version!

[RagingBalto]

Why?

[TheGingerfan]

well i got it when it came out on V.H.S and i think its still playing, i mean my god how long can a hike in the mountans go on for!

[LoD100]

Dude, he just ne ne ne ne ne-ed us!

[zakiemon]

what are the other Old vs New?

[NostalgiaAVGNfan]

Batman (Tim Burton) vs Dark Knight (Chris Nolan)

[MrUltimate94]

when r u gonna put it up?

[GigaBowser86]

This is gonna be good.

[evilmick66]

Doug's opinion is infallible! INFALLIBLE!!

XD

[PiratedComedy]

brand new old vs new?!?!

whoa

[CinemaZebra]

I actually saw the old one first, and I hated the shit out of it. Actually that's a lie, while watching it I was so sleepy that I couldn't hate it that much.

[FREAKFANATIC]

I love the Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. I never saw the animated version, but after watching his review, I think I will now.

[Kowlslaw]

Love the Jackson versions, saw the animated version when I was a little kid. The live action ones were definitely better. Good review!

[ProdigsProductions]

Whilst I'll agree that the animated film is quite underrated and had a lot of interesting and new techniques...I can't really see any comparison between them and Jacksons films. The new LOTR movies make up what is probably still going to be this century's greatest trilogy, whilst the Bakshi film...um it's little more than a cult classic.

But clearly NC gives a shit about it and it was nice to see a balanced arguement in his review : )

[ThinkNClick]

Very entertaining. Keep em coming.

[xxxXdragonXxxx]

lol i watched LOTR animated last year at youtube xD. it's pretty good

[sweetchaz1994]

i've got the animated version

its OK but it is not great

[Headbanger142]

Jackson wins HANDS DOWN. The 1979 version is just jobby.

[marvelmania]

How about you show some respect to animation's history and pronounche Bakshi's name right, before making a video?!

It's BAKSHI not BASHKI...

*sigh*

[AlucardsQuest]

Maybe he's dyslexic?

[shikamarunara472]

YES JACKSON WINS

[WeskJago]

OF COURSE jackson wins! lol i'm not even going to explain it either. he just obviously automatically wins!

[shikamarunara472]

I KNOW

[tsak99]

was that welshie saying "i do hate mondays"?

[F21productions]

lol 200th view

[252Dazz252]

Coming ANY number in video views mean fuck all, you idiot.

[Gennady100]

OMFG there a lotr animate movie? This review is gonna be good

[shikamarunara472]

lolz

[sugarxwaffles]

YES FINALLY!
