This also wasn't a Rankin & Bass animation like The Hobbit and Return of the King. It's some weird half animation and half animated live action combination with a totally different much darker style than the R&B movies. I never liked it as a kid, but I appreciate it a little more as an adult.
It's rotoscoped, was big at the time. I still think the animated Hobbit is the best one. Still holds up.
Amazon has this for $13.25 and a rating of 4.6 from 5,015 reviews

This is a Ralph Bakshi film. He directed Fritz the Cat, Wizards, Fire & Ice, and a bunch of other films. And yes, Rotoscoping was kinda his thing after awhile.
He famously wasn't given the budget to do the whole trilogy, so his Lord of the Rings film covers Fellowship and Two Towers. He wanted to call it "The Lord of the Rings: Part 1", but the studio forbade him from using that title, because they feared fewer people would go if they thought they weren't getting the whole story (far better that you just have a bunch of pissed off fans exiting the theatre after you've already got their money, eh?). He was never given the opportunity to make the second half. The Return of the King animated film by Rankin Bass was created later and IIRC only aired as a TV special/direct to video kind of thing.
