The Lord of the Rings (1978 film)
The Lord of the Rings is a 1978 animated epic fantasy film directed by Ralph Bakshi from a screenplay by Chris Conkling and Peter S. Beagle. It is based on the novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien, adapting from the volumes The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers. Set in Middle-earth, the film follows a group of fantasy races—Hobbits, Men, an Elf, a Dwarf and a Wizard—who form a fellowship to destroy a magical Ring made by the Dark Lord Sauron, the titular main antagonist. Bakshi encountered Tolkien's writing early in his career. He had made several attempts to produce The Lord of the Rings as an animated film before producer Saul Zaentz and distributor United Artists provided funding.

It uses a hybrid of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live-action footage. The Lord of the Rings was released in the United States on November...
