Oh, that's the one I saw in the theater tripping on acid. The rotoscoping was freaky

What makes this deluxe? Is this the core film or all three movies?

  • 1978 The Hobbit - Cartoonish animation, 1:17 in length (I'm now watching it and somehow drawn into the story. None other than John Huston lends his voice for Gandalf The Grey)
  • 1979 The Lord of the Rings - Filmed live action, then animated. This makes it more polished than the other movies. Most of the battles feature live-action superimposed on animated backdrops, which accounted for the trippy look, 2:13 in length, with a story narration at the end. I heard this was done for budget reasons.
  • 1980 The Return of the King - Return to cartoonish animation. It is about 1:37 long and finishes the incomplete 1979 movie.
$5 is cheap, but I don't know what is included.
