About this movie:
  • Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's revered Middle-earth saga captures the dark mood of the books extraordinarily well. The film covers the first half of the trilogy--"The Fellowship of the Ring" and the earlier part of "The Two Towers"--as Frodo (voiced by Christopher Guard), the cousin of Bilbo Baggins from "The Hobbit", is given the all-powerful ring sought by the evil Sauron of Mordor. So begins his adventure, as he must elude Mordor's black riders in an effort to prevent the ring from returning to its owner and thereby signaling the end of Middle-earth. Even with the mighty wizard Gandalf as his ally and faithful friends Merry, Sam, and Pippin by his side, Frodo is still up to his hobbit neck in peril.

As FYI this movie covers about the first half of the series, not the whole thing.

Quote from Spalty :
The seven minute intro is nostalgic and alone worth the $5. Check out Bakshi's other post-apocalyptic/fantasy called Wizards (1977).
Or Fire and Ice.

So for a long time I was never able to figure out—I had the second half of the series recorded on VHS that I watched when I was young. Any idea what animated movie that is?

I remember the drawing style was close or the same. I remember this LoTR movie wasn't it, specifically because the part I saw was the scene where they are trapped in the castle room (and that's when my home tape got cut off). One day I have to find that recording again…

I'm guessing what you recorded is Return of the King, which is the second half -

There's also an animated The Hobbit.

Is this the best movie of all LOTR?
Personally, I feel this version is a steaming pile of 💩 compared to the 1977 "Hobbit" and 1980 "The Return of the King" by Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass which are amazing. Sadly, they only cover the beginning and end storylines but still way better.
