The original Lord of the Rings animated films are finding a new streaming home

Have you ever wondered what? The Lord of the Rings Would it be like the filmmakers were obviously stoned? You’re about to find out because the long-forgotten and largely crazy, animated ones Lord of the rings Films are finally available in streaming. Peter Jackson’s trilogy is undoubtedly the most popular adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s world, with a stellar cast and phenomenal practical effects (not to mention the soundtrack) that keeps fans coming back for multiple viewings every year. But in the darkest corner of Mordor lies an adaptation so bizarre and surreal that it should be thrown into the fire of Mount Doom.

Decades before Peter Jackson brought The Hobbits to life on the big screen, Lord of the rings And The Hobbit both received animated films in the 1970s. The Hobbit was published in 1977, with Lord of the rings will be released in cinemas the following year. Unless you grew up watching these adaptations on television in the ’70s, you probably know very little about the animated adaptations. Many newer fans don’t even know they exist. But soon there will be a crash course in training The Hobbit (1977) and Lord of the rings (1978) is now streaming on Max.

Directed by: Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., The Hobbit is a surprisingly solid adaptation of Tolkien’s children’s novel. Despite some crazy animations, a good script and a decent acting make this animated film more than worth seeing. Lord of the ringshowever, is a slightly different story. Director: Ralph Bakshi, Lord of the rings packs all three of Tolkien’s novels into one animated film. In contrast to Peter Jackson’s work. Lord of the rings is a stilted, uninspired adaptation of Tolkien’s work. Usually, adaptations make audiences want to read the book because the movie was so good. In the case of Lord of the ringsyou will want to read the book to understand why the books are so much better.

More “Lord of the Rings” films are in preparation

Peter Jackson’s original trilogy remains the defining cinematic story Lord of the rings fans.
