Lord of the Rings, Bakshi/Jackson trailer

[ShadowMoses23]

Excellent work!

[phoenix30223]

This reached into my heart mind and soul.

[TobeUK]

jackson and/or his production designers must have watched this version a bunch of times, osme of the backgrounds/scenery and the scenes look sooo much like his movie

[BiffaTW]

well... that was just brilliant!

[LoveSUBING]

I bought the animated film yesterday :) from hmv for 9 pound

[Borna909]

you really made a good job cutting this - it fits perfectly!

[Johnlindsey289]

Enjoyed both versions including the Rankin-Bass prequel and sequel to this but Peter Jackson's still the most faithful of the books.

[Radici20]

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!

[aoiniina]

stop saying that bakshi's and PJ versions are not exactly like in the books!!

how do you expect them to include aaaall the characters and events in 3 movies of 2/3 hours -__-U

if this were a tv series you could expect tom bombadil and other things, but not in a movie, please understand that o__O

[pompierjohn]

OUTSTANDING! Well Done !

[blackstonewielder19]

EPIC!!!!!

[PlacidDirge]

This vid is fantastic, although I only seen the animated version once, looking at the clips oddly brought back memories.

[volpotmakmak]

this. was. awesome. 5star

[kim1971]

Bakshi's orcs, wraiths and balrog are amazing, so dark and mysterious.

This animation was an enormous inspiration for a lot of AD&D players through the 80's!!!

[codafett]

Your serious?

[Bilingord]

EXELENTE

[MythicDude]

I actually liked bakshi's Wizards and Fire And Ice, but he buchard LOTR and has a bit of a jelous arrogant attitude towards Jackson. Or anyone else more sucessful than him.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MythicDude

Wizards and Fire and Ice were great, what did you think of Jackson's movies?

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 I adore Jacksons films!!! They left me speechless. Films I can go back to again and again and excellent adaptations of a wonderful book.

I am also a massive Bakshi fan as well thou. Fritz the Cat, Wizards, Heavy Traffic and Hey Good Lookin are some of my favorite movies. I just didn't think that his style was really suting to LOTR. It would be rather suiting to some other excellent fantasy stories like Conan The Barbarian or Micheal Moorcocks Elric saga.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MythicDude

Do you also like American Pop and Fire and Ice as well? those are great. If you like animated fantasy, there's Heavy Metal, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Ninja Scroll etc. seen those?

The Hobbit will rule next year and 2013.

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 I haven't seen all of American Pop yet but I do like Fire and Ice alot. I liked some of the stories in the movie Heavy Metal alot and although I'm not a big anmie fan I do like what I've seen of Nausicaa. Quite a beautiful concept.

Yes I can't wait for the Hobbit! I was a little disapointed that Del Toro droped out of directing but of course Peter Jackson is obviously going to do an excellent job with it.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MythicDude

Since your not a big anime fan, what do you think of Akira and Ghost in The Shell or Ninja Scroll or Grave of the Fireflies?

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 I actually haven't seen any of those yet.

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 another excellent retro sci-fi movie is Fantastic Planet. Highly recomended :)

[Johnlindsey289]

@MythicDude

That's an awesome movie! Do you think Bakshi's LOTR rotoscoping even in Fire and Ice predates the similar rotoscoping technology used in Avatar? Cameron did the treatment in 1993 but had to wait until 2004 for the technology as he stated he was influenced by Dune novels, Western stories he read as a kid including Call me Joe, Fantastic Planet, Heavy Metal magazine and the movie, Nausicaa, world history, Edgar Burroughs and Issac Avmiov.

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 Yeh its interesting that Motion capture technology has its roots in rotosoping. Well really, it essentially is rotoscoping, just in digital form.

Mhmm I deffinatly noticede alot of those infulences on that movie. All in all I gotta say that Avatar was quite awseome although it could have used a bit of a different story, not that it wasen't fun but it could have been a bit more original.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MythicDude

I'm sure Avatar 2 and 3 will have better fresher stories this time according to Cameron who is also working on 2013's Battle Angel adaptation. You should see Akira, Ghost in The Shell, Ninja Scroll, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Grave of the Fireflies (Very powerful, sad and realistic WWII animated drama about the horrors of war) which are brilliant works of animation that break the anime stereotype especially Akira

[MythicDude]

@Johnlindsey289 oh really? thats good news! I'm looking forward to seeing those.

and thanks I'll check those out.

[AmeliaKaderD]

actually pretty awesome!! both movies are good, but i think jackson's is more epic...

[pacman5698]

i think the bashki one has a better frodo, sauron, helm's deep looks cooler in red and the way they put on the ring is better

[pacman5698]

The Baskhi one has a better Aragorn

[Holowachuk]

finally somebody thinks the same!

i can only agree with you. aragorn looks very noble in bakshi's version.

[Mowbee13]

Thank you. Perfectly done.

[cecder]

awesome!

[clocksandspoons]

Excellent! Really well done. I love the old animation.

[richiepiep]

This is extremely well done! The images fit the audio almost to a tee, such that it made me wonder if Jackson's trilogy isn't a remake of the Bakshi animation! I think Jackson shot some scenes as a homage or at least a nod to Bakshi, notably when Frodo and company hide from the Ringwraiths in a hole off the road. I must say I got fed up with Bakshi after a while, because of the heavy rotoscoping and other optical effects which clashed with the traditional Disney cell animation of the hobbits.

[Johnlindsey289]

@richiepiep

That was a homage at times but more true to Tolkein's novels in the live-action movies.

[charlieRicketts]

this makes the movie seem even more epic then it already is. well done.

[KCjones707]

nice. it was perfect

you should do a return of the king trailer with the old cartoon.

[Reinpret]

I have not read the books, but have watched all the modern movies. I Must say after I went back and watched this movie for the firs time, i was quite impressed. I though the animation was great. Very nice looking movie, and more dark than lets say "The Hobbit" Its more adult and i Like that.

[drcoxcentral]

This is well done! If I was beside you I would pat you on the back for a good job.

[GARETH012005]

Although a very good movie it had it's misstakes that wasn't in the book,and it was very losely based on the Fellowship and the Two Towers,

[powerfrenzy]

heh, nice, you made the animated version look way better than is actually was (in my opinion)

[charlieRicketts]

That was pretty awesome! every time I watch Bakshi's LOTR I feel like crying because he wasnt able to finish the trilogy. He did say in 2006 that if he was ever given the oppurtunity to finish the trilogy, he would do it.

[Johnlindsey289]

@charlieRicketts

Except Jackson rebooted the thing and made it successful

[coollotr55]

Bakshi's version of The Lord of the Rings KICKS ASS!!! :D

[Locke217]

I've never seen it... I've heard that it's no good, but that's probably just from people who a nit-picky about beeing accurate to the book...

QUESTION:does it have Tom Bombadil in it?

[charlieRicketts]

to answer your question: no it does not have tom bombadil in it. also, a lot of people don't like it because they think it is poorly made and don't like the animation. however, there are a few who remain faithful and loyal to the movie. I am one them. i absolutley love the film!

[Locke217]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Who could not like this animation? Are they just ticked off because Sam is so ugly? (by the way, I have now seen it and to be honest, I enjoyed it. It's flawed, yes, but relitively good.)

[charlieRicketts]

Thats what I think. I love the animation. and yes, sam is ugly, abd the balrog isnt that great either, but the movie is really good. one thing i love about it is that it is really dark. and the orcs are also amazing.

[coollotr55]

No, Tom Bombadil did not appear in this movie sadly.

[67nairb]

That was neat, how did you get to dub in the voices?

[JoenSo]

Thanks. Sorry for a rather late response. I didn't dub anything, I used an mp3-version of the theatrical trailer and just put it together with the clips from Bakshi's movie in moviemaker.

[67nairb]

It's okay, your response wasn't that late.

[LaukkuTheGreit]

Great job on lipsynching!

[filmfreak2000]

great job!

[oxxxid]

Bakshi's version seems to be very interesting!

[AngelofMusic2006]

It's good for a laugh, that's about it.

[cero815]

but it was never completed :/

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Never realized that he made LOTR first!

[CrazyRussian102]

Great video, 5/5 stars!!
