So back in what think was 77, or 80, there was a musical cartoon adaptation of the Lord of the Rings series. When I was a child, I did not have any sort of television but I did have a bunch of VHS tapes that I watched over and over. These were in that pile.
I found one of them recently, but unfortunately my grandmother got rid of it before I could nab but in the mean time I know what it is. I rewatched the, online and I really liked them but that may be from biased.
But no one ever talks about them, yet they are amazing. Is there something I don't know? Are they actually just really bad?

I had this shit as a kid. My friends at school thought I was a soothsayer cause I kept spoiling what was going to happen.

>orcs singing hippie shit about not wanting to go to war and being forced by generals
Xavier Murphy
I think its less them not wanting war and more about them being lazy pieces of shit.
Dominic Smith
It's not hippie that's how soldiers in most conflicts feel. Shit like WWII is rare. And in this case they know they'll always be treated like shit and it's just a higher up wanting shit for himself.

There's a musical version of The Hobbit from... I wanna say '77. It's pretty good and an excellent example of how to abridge a longer work without compromising the plot and character arcs.
Ralph Bakshi did an animated version of Fellowship and Two Towers which featured a sort of hybrid of traditional animation and rotoscoping. Also good, if a bit flawed in some ways.
And then there's the musical version of Return of the King........ We don't talk about that one.

I loved the Hobbit film from the 70s. A really great adaptation. The Lord of the Rings movie would've been nice if they didn't run out of budget. Actually, I thought the parts where they couldn't finish rotoscoping would have been cool if they could have planned them for the wraiths instead of mostly happening with goblins.

There was a live musical for awhile got canned due to being too expensive.
