	Lord of the Rings Review
		Author's Note, December 24 2001: This is a review of the Bakshi version of Lord of the Rings which has absolutely nothing to do with the wonderful, marvelous, breathtaking Peter Jackson film The Fellowship of the Ring.
		Given that a truly classic filmed version of Tolkien's tale now exists, I find even less of a reason to even half-heartedly recommend Bakshi's film to all but the most die-hard students of psychedelic rotoscoping.
		The film's score, initially charming, quickly becomes repetitive, and Bakshi's decision to end the film while two-thirds of the story still remains leaves the viewer unsatisfied.

		"The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, partly inspired by such tales as "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and "Beowulf," was published between 1954 and 1955 and surged in popularity during the late 1960s and 1970s.

	Lord of the Rings - Animated - Anime
		In 1978, Ralph Bakshi brought out an animated film, The Lord of the Rings, which covered books 1 and 2 of the famous trilogy by JRR Tolkein.
		However, with the new Peter Jackson films leaving out quite a bit even at twice the length, it might be understood now what a challenge it was to even FIT the two books into a movie length.
		Still, the movie is a very interesting look at how many thought about Lord of the Rings for almost 25 years - up until the release of the live action film by Peter Jackson.

		Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings is a bold, colourful, ambitious failure.
		The film's other outstanding virtue is avant-garde composer Leonard Rosenman's magnificent score in which chaotic musical fragments gradually coalesce to produce the triumphant march theme that closes the picture.
		Everyone who likes Lord of the Rings must realise that it's rubbish, but if you can accept it, love the book but watch this and laugh without wanting to smash the TV in, then everyone is happy.

		In this film, Gandalf merely throws the ring into the fire, then spouts the famous lines, leaving most viewers to wonder if Gandalf is in the habit of randomly throwing jewelry into fires and reciting poetry.

		In the case of Lord of the Rings, following her advice meant I wound up writing that script God knows how many times, at least eight or nine drafts, for a bunch of never-fulfilled promises and a flat fee of $5,000—the second half of which I actually had to threaten to sue to collect.
		And the film is what inspired Peter Jackson to read Tolkien, a happy coincidence that has so far directly benefited Saul to the tune of nearly $200 million.

	The Lord of the Rings (1978)
		The film was not well-received by Tolkien fans, but the Tolkien cult is such that one suspects nothing ever would be.
		Yet, while the film may not be the filmed equivalent of the books, it is to Ralph Bakshi's credit that he opens the film up into something dramatic, instead of just operating a Tolkien travelogue.
		Peter Jackson later embarked on an ambitious live-action adaptation with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

	Hobbits on Film By Glenn Gaslin
		With all the hype surrounding the $270 million live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy—the first installment, The Fellowship of the Rings, opens Dec. 19—it's easy to forget that this isn't the first time hobbits have been captured on celluloid.
		(In this clip from The Lord of the Rings, a hobbit and a wizard are out for a stroll, and, for a moment, it seems like a pretty everyday thing.) His rock-star epic American Pop (1981) may be the best example of this, a cartoon movie for and about grown-ups, in both style and substance.
		The use of rotoscoping frays as the film approaches two hours, particularly in large battle scenes: When overused, the technique can look fake, as if live-action footage were photocopied and assembled into a flip-book.

		In Peter Jackson's film, the impetus for Frodo to offer the Ring to Galadriel was her prediction that the Ring would eventually corrupt and destroy everyone in the Fellowship.

		That is, if the story needed to be shortened to make it all fit within the acceptable length for a film, it would be better for scenes and characters to be dropped entirely than for them to be combined, rearranged, or altered.
		Although by the late sixties the film rights had been sold, actual casting and financing were as far away as ever, though the idea refused to go away.
		Some in fact credit it with effectively strangling the fantasy film genre at the very time that, in the wake of Star Wars, the science fiction film was undergoing a renaissance.

	Film Reviews - The Oscar Guy
		While the film is intensely tedious at times, there are quite a few moving moments capturing the essence of the struggle of Native Americans to retain their land after the Civil War.
		The film holds a special place in my heart as it was the first film I remember loving and it is the first film I ever cheered on to Academy Awards victory.
		Although the film is immeasurably involving, a rather unnecessarily manic performance from Kevin Spacey threatens to bring the film down around his look-at-me style.
