ARUMAN
>change "Saruman" to "Aruman" to make Saruman / Sauron less confusing
>forget about it in every scene but one
>make the movie a million times more confusing
I love Bakshi but there's some baggage there
Soy el señor de las putas. Y os voy a contar mi secreto para el sexo.

Their expressions make me lel

Sauron I'm Shire
>Oh my! Oh hooray!
Fucked up Legolas always gets me.
lol at the creepy old wanker praying on the lil' kids.
Damn. That black rider was way creepier than the one in the live action movies.
Man I forgot how fucking shit that god damn balrog was.
Is no one going to point out that Peter Jackson completely lifted Bakshi's staging of this scene for his live action version?
It's quite obvious.
...
...
To be fair Bakshi's portrayal of the scene was in turn lifted from an artist's rendition of it
Also there ws only one way to portray it in the first place without taking massive liberties with the source material
To be fair, the artists rendition of it was in turn lifted from Tolkien's writings of it.
To be fair, while highly creative, the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien was influenced by a number of sources. Tolkien was inspired by his academic fields of philology and early Germanic literature, especially poetry and mythology, as well as a wide range of other beliefs, culture, and experiences.
what an absolute hack
Learn to spell "Saruman"
Faggot.
You mean "Sauronman"?
GANONDORE
He just took the ring and didn't give a fuck.
SARUMON
WHERE THERE'S A WHIP
*crack*
THERE'S A WAY
WE DON'T WANNA GO TO WAR TODAY, BUT THE LORD OF THE LASH SAYS NAY NAY NAY
Jackson version
>Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
>Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
Bakshi version
>Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
>Gandalf: So do I.
What a great song
post yfw fucking Skeletor Witch King

HAHAHA this shit won an Oscar? HAHAHAHA Peter Jackson is such a hack, the way he's shot this makes it look like a fucking cartoon LMFAO what a dickless wonder!
Okay, but what about this?
God tier musical orcs. Being in the Rankin and Bass Mordor must have been pretty nice with all the singing lessons Suron gave out.
That's actually quite Spooky for a cartoon.
I remember him screeching AAAAAAAAA a lot louder and more intense
Yea Mordor was funky as shit. Couldn't have been all bad.
It wasn't a children's cartoon
>mfw i watched it when i was seven
Cool posters for this
I thought this opening was fucking epic as a kid. Bakshi honestly did a great job on this considering it looks like it cost about $80 to make.
that perspective ain't right..
Ick
Gene Wilder?
Did orcs invent hip-hop?
it's a shame he never considered taxation
>there's a whip
>we say nay nay
Why does he speak like an old Asian man?
Yup. This and the orc march on Helm's Deep was pretty bad ass at the time.
that's a big beard
>Character's name in the books is literally Sauronman and it's supposed to be a a surprise when he betrays the good guys
>Based Bakshi changes the name to something that makes sense
>purists whine
Fucking bookfags.
He doesn't even wear white. Although props for giving him the Many Colors look when Jackson didn't even though it looked terrible.
That's because gandalf is secretly homosexual.
SQUADILA
b-but it means "man of skill" in Quenya which is an ancient elvish language
Master Gandalf, I'm Hobbiton.
Uh...you don't get to bring dwarves.
Jackson also stole the inn sequence in Bree where the Nazgul stab the pillows almost shot for shot.
WE'RE GONNA MARCH ALL DAY ALL DAY DALL DAY
That scene is literally perfect except for the Witch King's voice. Dub Andy Serkis in and it's cartoon kino 100 times better than Jackson's version.
>AAAAAAHHHH SAVE ME GORTHAUR
Go eat more delicious totally nonaddictive moonsugar pastries you hack
>"stole"
It's an homage.
if it was an homage why has he never ever brought it up or credited Bakshi in any way?
5 here
Man that animation is satisfying.
Thanks YIFY.
>ISILDUUUUUR
>YORE BREAKING MY HEEEEAAAARRRRT
He actually lied and claimed he never saw Bakshi's film for a long while IIRC but now he admits it.
literally manbearpig
You mean curunír. Sauronman was a name given by humans
What a scumbag. Never trust a fatty.
>still no LOTR anime
