The chief charm of "The Return of the King" for me is that it does a decent job with my favorite scene of the Trilogy, when �owyn, the shield maiden of Rohirrim engages the Lord of the Nazgul in mortal combat during the Battle of Pellennor Fields.
I consider this film a fine bookend to Ralph Bakshi's "Lord of the Rings" and the earlier Rankin/Bass special "The Hobbit" as an animated trilogy.
So I am back to my original position, that you should whet their young appetite's with "The Hobbit." "The Return of the King" is made with affection, but it lacks the time and money to make it a worthy presentation of Tolkien's story.

Aragorn: Not only is his character portrayed in the films as weak and unwilling to accept the kingship prophesied for him, we are told about none of his own years of hardship, travels, struggles, battles, sacrifice, danger, etc., only, in the extended DVD, that he's 87 years old.
In the films we are shown a parody of Theoden: he's wishy washy (Theodred's post-funeral scene should have been on the cutting room floor), unable to see the war that's on his doorstep much less make a decision that makes sense.

 The Return of the King (1980)
The Rankin-Bass team, following their own 1977 The Hobbit and Ralph Bakshi’s incomplete 1978 Lord of the Rings, returns to finish the job, sort of, with The Return of the King.
The film hits the most critical plot points, but is clearly aimed at the younger set, with little to interest even the most avid adult Tolkien and/or animation buff.
The approach here is about the same as The Hobbit, with similarly uninspired Saturday-morning style animation and an even more intrusive, overbearing folk-ballad soundtrack that doesn’t even gesture lyrically, as the Hobbit songs did, to Tolkien’s poetry.

Unlike The Lord of the Rings film that was directed by Ralf Bakshi, Rankin-Bass, the same team who brought The Hobbit to life, did this episode of the saga.
Today the saga comes to an end in the darkest, and final chapter, The Return of the King.
We then see Sam up on Mt. Doom, complete with his temptation to take the ring, through the tense confrontations at the end of the books with the army of Rohan arriving, to the return of Aragorn as the King, and finally Frodo disposing of the Ring in the Cracks of Doom.

 DVDFanatic.com News: 05/25/04 - DVD REVIEW: "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"
Peter Jackson’s theatrical adaptation of Return of the King, the third book in J.R.R. Tolkien’s timeless Lord of the Rings trilogy, is finally being released to DVD on May 25th.
Return of the King finds the world of Men teetering on the brink of death as Sauron’s forces rally for an all-out offensive against Minas Tirith, the center of the kingdom of Gondor and the last hope of mankind.
These films are unquestionably a labor of love and they deserve the same amount of respect within the film world that Tolkien’s work has garnered within the literary world.
