Deal Details
Amazon has The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie Remastered Deluxe Edition (DVD) for $5. Shipping is free w/ Prime or on $35+ orders.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for finding this deal.

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.

Does anyone know if this is the complete version? It is different than what I say as a kid. There was a scene with spiders that was crazy. I heard they removed some scenes because they were a little too violent. Does this remastered have all the cut out scenes?

Google says there are no edits or versions of this cartoon.

I only spent 20 minutes searching.

I did find talk about 10-15 minutes of deleted scenes that never made it into this cartoon movie.
But no mention of an official version that put them back together
( Might be a fan edit somewhere
I'm going to search more )


I'm guessing there could be TV stations that edit it for their broadcasts
That's normal , TV stations have always cut scenes for commercial breaks or executive control
