1978 Lord of the Rings Animated Film Now $5 on Amazon

While many fans celebrate the epic cinematic achievements of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, it's worth noting that these weren't the first adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved works. The journey began with the animated adaptation of The Hobbit in 1977, followed closely by The Lord of the Rings in 1978, both of which brought Tolkien's Middle-earth to life in a unique, animated style.

Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer, now is the perfect time to explore this earlier rendition. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 Lord of the Rings animated movie is currently available at an unbeatable price of just $5 on Amazon.

This animated version of The Lord of the Rings is a fascinating blend of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live-action footage.
