this is a 1978 work of art lord of the rings, and i realize that unfortunately all art is open to criticism good and bad....but that does not detract whatsoever that this is a classic vintage work of art for its time.
I've got to admit that far as the actual casting goes, the look of the characters, I think Jackson's choices were pretty inspired. It's clear he thought a great deal about the appearance of the characters.
IMO, I prefer the looks of movie Aragorn, the Hobbits (especially Sam), and Boromir.
But that's only appearance I'm speaking of, aside from that, there really is alot that I like about this adaptation. :)
@Stargazer19 Well I think Jackson's Frodo is more accurate in appearance. Is it my imagination or does Bakshi's version of Frodo have a somewhat dark complexion? In the books he's described as fair-skinned.
What the hay with Elrond? He's looks like friggin Greek God! Good ol' Bilbo though... Guess Gandalf remembers when they used to serve eggrolls too, try thinking of a fruit... HALLELUJAH! 7:36 I already hated red, now this just makes me loathe it... NOOOO NOT BILL, NOOOOOO!
Adding a comment to the dwarf conversation, there were more dwarves than Gimli in the original story. In the end when the ring was destroyed (sorry for the big spoil hehe) Gimli rase to be the last dwarven king and led the remaining dwarves to the caves of the Rohanian Fortress Helm's Deep. Living there, the dwarven numbers shrank, but Tolkien didn't tell what happened in that race in the end.
@SareyGamp Bakshi changed it in the script so people who hadn't read the books wouldn't get Saruman and Sauron confused (which I think was a good idea).
@GreenAshR47 I think it was a terrible idea, makes everyone sound like they have a speech impediment or that the sound is cutting out.
Admittedly the names are similar but for goodness sake how dumb did he think the audience were.
We coped with the Peter Jackson films eventually (he didn't pander to simple-minded people)?! If you (and that's a general 'you' not YOU specifically) can't keep up with names why bother with such an epic story? Silly.
@SareyGamp Whether it was a good idea or not at least he did it for the right reason. He was just trying to make it clearer for the audience, whereas Jackson disrespected Tolkien by changing crucial parts of the story just to suit his own fancy. I never "coped" with Jackson's films.
@GreenAshR47 I think it was a terrible reason, totally unnecessary pandering. Jackson's films are so well respected for a reason, yeah he altered some things but the spirit of the books is alive and many things he actually improved too (though you disagree).
The whole thing as to which is better is subjective, I guess we fall into different camps (which is fine).
It's a good thing there are two versions, I'll stick with Peter's after having watched this though ta. ;)
@SareyGamp May depend on how big a fan of the books you are. They're sacred to me. I don't like changes to the story. But if changing one letter upsets you so much I don't see why you condone all the changes Peter made. And changing Saruman to Aruman has nothing to do with intelligence. Those who haven't read the books may simply have trouble keeping straight all the names being thrown at them.
But whatever, most agree with you. I'm in about the 10% who prefer Bakshi.
@GreenAshR47 It upsets me when it's a stupid change, changing a name cos they presume people can't differentiate between two similar sounding names for me is incredibly presumptuous and patronising. The changes Peter made on the other hand make sense for me, they were for time constraints or additional dramatic effect (which for films is so important). I'm studying film so maybe understanding why changes like that occur is easier than silly, pointless changes.
@SareyGamp It's not a question of being able to differentiate between two similar sounding names, it's a question of being able to remember all the names being thrown at you at once. If you didn''t know the story, I can easily see how you could get the two confused. But as to this, as well as whether Jackson was right to change the story, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.
@GreenAshR47 Well it IS about differentiating between 2 names, or else why bother (means the same thing as helping those who've trouble remembering/recognising 2 different names)? But yes we'll agree to disagree ;)
I'd only read the books once so not a rabid fan, I found it more confusing when reading them (until you establish an image of a character in your head), when you SEE an actor it's much easier to put a name to them. People might get confused but then maybe the story's not for them.
@HojoOSanagi Good idea, maybe that'd keep people from bitching about such a minor detail when Bakshi's so faithful to the book, & yet sit there and say it's ok for Jackson to rewrite Tolkien.
Did tolkien draw something earlier than this cartoon ? if not, Peter Jackson copy a lot of things from this cartoon! just look at the moria door! and many other things
@iPheezy IIRC, the Gate of Moria as well as the inscription on Balin's tomb were indeed drawn by Tolkien himself. At least there are drawings in my edition of FOTR.
@iPheezy Tolkien did many drawings while writing the stories, But Peter Jackson also enlisted the two most premier Tolkien artists, John Howe, & Allen Lee to design the look of the films, aswellas many talented New Zealand artists.
Oh, yes, Gandalf, let's sleep here on this absolutely precarious staircase landing placed over a bottomless chasm, which any one of us could accidentally roll off of to our deaths during the night.
Eldron was soo much more powerfull in looks in voice in the book and movie latter made i do love this but there is lots to fix in the cartoon movie. maybe they should try to do it agin
@siverwolf18 I agree... Some kind of very well made computer animation would be great too. It would bring new changes to make some scenes from the book, what would´ve been very hard to do with real people :/
nope your right sam is UGLY!! EEWWW and the elfs lord Erlond looks like a guy and were the point ears sooo wrong there at less Legous was npt colmpet loss poor elfs i should have been the artist i can draw much better lol not that the storys not bad like the story line .
Mmm, I'm not the only one who heard eggroll. And I like how they pronounced mellon like it had come ccchhhh sound in the middle of it. What was that? hahaha
Yeah, you know what? Fuck him. Didn't even run away when the tentacles were emerging like the intelligent pony in Tolkien's book did, just kinda like "ER DERP HEYHEY TENTACLES ALL 'ROUND I'MA SAUNTER FORWARD HERRRP-*SHLOP*". How that horse didn't end up predator glue before that point is anyone's guess. :P
I love how, when Gandalf's getting angry about eggrolls, the hobbits all stick together, the men have an argument and Legolas just finds himself next to Gimli. **awkward elf v. dwarf moment** ha! Love this, so much!
So first Gandalf tries opening the gate by screaming PEDRO!!!, then starts speaking Hebrew, and Bill gets eaten by Cthulhu? That didn't happen in the book...
@cutis1000 No, he's not. There's at least one more dwarf at the council. The woodcutter with the blonde beard is a dwarf, I know it's strannge, but's that just how they portrayed dwarves in this movie.
@cutis1000 because he was sent to the council by Dain. The rest of the Dwarves were busy doing their own dwarf stuff, and defending their lands from the growing number of Orks in the mountains. The fellowship didn't go anywhere near where the Dwarves lived, so Gimli (and Gloin at the council) was their "representative" as it were.
@MrRladdu No, you're right. He is a dwarf, a typically small race of humanoids that are almost as short as hobbits. He was just played by a guy who was rather tall compared to the hobbits and is only slightly shorter than the other guys.
@jblaze526 Er...maybe if his beard was white, his cap, red and tall like a church steeple, and dressed in a blue coat, red pants, and black boots, but I'm afraid not......
@timelessnugget The type of animation over live action is called roto-scope I believe. Yeah, back in the 70s there was no CGI (no such thing as computer graphics yet - that came in early 80s with the invention of "personal" computers) and Japanese anime style animation had not become popular yet.
@Papadragon18 No, you are not the only one. In fact, in the Nostalgia Critic's Old vs. New of the LOTR trilogy vs. the animation he mentioned about most of the characters reffering Saruman as Aruman. In fact, thumbs up if the Nostalgia Critic go you into watching this version.

Now I'm craving eggrolls....thanks assholes.....I never even considered that before you said it.....and it's too late to order any.....Curse you!! Curse you to death and darkness, all you Halflings!!!!!!
