I wish Rankin-Bass had the opportunity to adapt the whole of LotR. Sure, it probably would have been kinda cheap and bowdlerised, but it would have been neat to see and RotK wouldn't have been as much of a mess.
Charles Johnson
Jose James
Heck, John Boorman was working on a LotR movie. That got scraped and some of the ideas he had for the movie went into Excalibur.
Jaxson Nelson
Thank god that never happened
Brandon Lee
What about the 60s Hobbit cartoon which was made with $50 for the sole purpose of holding movie rights a lil longer till they're more valuable to sell?
Oliver Campbell
The Boorman LotR script had all sorts of insanity but the thing that always sticks in my memory is Galadrial made Frodo fuck her before he could look in her mirror
Lincoln Long

William L. Snyder was a producer who owned the film rights to The Hobbit. For whatever contractual reason, he had to actually turn the rights into a film before a certain date or he would lose them. So he had Gene Deitch create an incredibly rushed 12-minute "animated" adaptation of The Hobbit. It was unknown for years because it only ever had one showing to about a dozen people in Czechoslovakia. You can read the full story from Deitch himself here:

Julian Green
>Bilbo and Mika reigned together
>Bilbo killed Smaug-I mean Slag(so alpha he doesnt even remember his name right)
Is this Bilbos own fan fiction? Is this what was actually in There and Back Again when he gave it to Frodo?
Gavin Rogers
Apparently Aragorn also nails Eowyn on the abttlefield which should surprise no Excalibur fans
Connor Phillips
First for John Hurt Anton Chigurh Indian Aragorn and Viking Boromir
Isaiah Roberts
Frodo is 18 in human years, Pippin is like 14 or 15.
James Campbell

Ryan Watson
How the fuck did Wormtongue make it into the poster?
Elijah Hill

>those tiny ladders
Elijah Brown
>Rankin/Bass's The Hobbit
Still my favourite Tolkien adaptation, to this day. GOAT soundtrack, too.
Jose Martin
>Aruman
Joseph Flores
Indian Aragorn was a total badass. Live action Aragorn looks like a wimp by comparisson
Blake Young
What's the point of the ladders?
Michael Anderson
Window openings in the fort, is the most logical thing I can think of at the moment.
Leo Young

Henry Nguyen
>fuck the ladders are too short
>we fuckin carried these for weeks we're using them goddammit
Kayden Ortiz
That shiteating grin on Sams face.
Thomas Thomas
Rankin bass Eowyn is a qt
Kevin Hernandez
It really shows how dedicated they were to the process of rotoscoping that they even kept in blatant mistakes on the part of the reference actors. Like Aragon falling down or the Ringwraith being unable to control his horse.
Adrian Bennett
The real beauty in those ladders is that they're easily long enough to scale the section on the side. But, nope, we're goin' up the middle, boys!
Jack Lee
Or the third Ringwraith not taking off his cowboy hat
Joseph Ward
>Rankin/Bass's The Hobbit
Legit great movie. So charming.
Camden Long
>YEEHHAW, WE GUN GET THAT THAR ONE RING OFF YA MIDGET BOY
Noah Evans
John Huston has the greatest voice of all time. DDL gets so much credit for There Will Be Blood but he's pretty much just doing an SNL-tier impression.
>the tray-sure
Leo Morales
>They're getting away!
>We'll...
>Don't sa-.
>cut them off at the pass!
>Oh my God, Frank! I hate you so much!
Cooper Bennett

>The old animated Smaug was more threatening then the new one with shitty cgi gold
Easton Garcia
Using the authentic Eowyn dialogue was also an improvement
Camden Parker
>Merry is done by Casey Kasem
Shaggy sure grew a spine.
Grayson Myers
>MAH FLYIN HORNY TOAD
David Robinson
>I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means ME!
Isaiah Edwards
This was definitely something.
Jacob Barnes
>Witch King sounds like a robot Joker
Not feeling it
Colton Wilson
It's definitely the Black manta effect
John Martinez
I loved RB Hobbit as a kid, and still enjoy it. It had a MUCH better Smaug than Jackson's.
Noah Lopez
What the fuck was that.
Almost as bad as Bakshi's LotR.
Dylan Ramirez
really made me think
Zachary Edwards
The Rankin-Bass Hobbit is far better than Jackson's in general because it actually uses dialogue from the book. It would be amazing if it was two hours long and had a bigger budget and they didn't cut anything out.
Grayson Diaz
Still angry that Jackson played this like for humor
Liam Sanders
>no complete story comic.
its been decades since the 70's, more lotr comics when?
Wyatt Jackson

Ryan Ortiz
HOLD!
Aiden Walker
WHERE THERE'S A WHIP
THERE IS A WAY
Logan Butler
They make Bilbo look a lot uglier on the poster than he actually does in the film.
Josiah Hughes
The same way he made it into the LOTR Conquest game instead of Gollum
Christian White
We don't wanna go to war today, but the Lord of the Lash says, nay Nay NAY!
Bentley Murphy
That's Starscream, not Robo Joker
Robert Gray
WTF is this fanfiction shit? It's somehow worse than Russian Hobbit and Peter Jackson Hobtrilogy combined.
Brody Gonzalez
You wait!
Men comes before orcs.
GET BACK!
Dominic Richardson
tfw the titular character whom the entire plot revolves around appears for one scene and has about three lines
Henry Reyes
I know this is /tg/ but anyone else play this?
Brayden Lewis
>map is upside down
Andrew Robinson
Don't mind me, just posting a jolly singing man
Luke Miller
>Frank
>Goddammit, Frank, we talked about this.
>We talked about this, Frank
>You were in the room with us, Frank
>We voted, Frank, you remember?
>We all voted that we'd wear the spooky viking helmets
>We all agreed, Frank
>We agreed on the viking helmets, Frank
>Not the FUCKING cowboy hats!
>I'm SO fucking done with you, Frank
Aaron Hill
Check out the comic series illustrated by David Wenzel, it's pretty damn good
Nathan Scott
>annimated Silmarillion in the vein of Fantasia.
You have ten seconds to explain how this isn't a multi-million idea.
Jackson Diaz
Too obscure. Only people who would go see it would be the real die-hard Tolkien and animation fans.
It'd be like a more expensive, less successful Laika film
Joshua Thompson
seconding, excellent series, art's pretty good
Isaiah Perez
Can somebody post a MEGA of the animated movie soundtracks?
Asher Cox
i watched when i was a kid,i remember the orcs scared the shit out of me,i still remember them from time to time
Christopher Fisher
This is the weirdest version of The Magnificent Seven ever
Dylan Lee
I think what kills me the most is how everything about Tolkien has to adapt the movies visual style now. I know I sound like a contrarian hipster faggot when I say this but when I read the books what I imagined in my head was quite rather different and Id like to see more distinct visual takes on the stuff again.
James Ross
There's only two illustrators that can capture Tolkienverse for me. Tolkien himself and Alan Lee.
Mason Parker
>I SAY I SAY BOY WHAT'S THAT BOY UP TO HEY BOY WATHCOO TRYING TA DO? you better be givin' tat' ring back before the dark lord come and take ya...now don't set the world on fire... *say, that boy ain't lightest feather on the bird if you know what i mean*
Isaiah Ramirez
watched it on VHS repeatedly. it was on the same tape as Princess Bride
William Thompson
That's a good tape
Adam Cook
and legolas was cute. CUTE!
Easton Perry
Rankin Bass's witch king design was awesome
so was Eowyn
Kayden Nguyen
lets noit forget the finnish LOTR
Nathan Lopez
i saw the first film as a kid and hated it. Something about the art style unnerved the hell outta me.
Nicholas Allen
The halflings were CUTE
Mason Stewart
mfw i never knew what middle earth looked like until i played on the map in atwar. It still doesnt look like what I imagined watching the movies.
Juan Cruz
Charles Kelly
>Come not between the Nazgül and his prey, or he will slay THEE in turn
That's...
That's literally the EXACT opposite of what that line is supposed to be for fuck's sake.
If you didn't have room for the full line then just fucking cut it.
Matthew Sanchez
unintentional rape-faces: the movie
>pictured: gandalf's face when he arrives at Frodo's house after Bilbo leaves the little fellow all alone
Julian Wilson
>But Aruman..
>SARUMAN!!!
Gets me everytime.
Jackson King
I've never forgotten this song since I first heard it 30+ years ago. It still pops up in my head occasionally.
Gavin Brown
Once upon a time in the Middle Earth.
>You brought one ring too many.
Kevin Bell
>The greatest adventure is what lies ahead
>Today and tomorrow are yet to be said
Parker Evans
Found a used DVD copy at a store last week. Less good than I remembered, but still very charming. For a TV adaptation it's pretty faithful
Hunter Morris
>triggered
Alexander Jenkins
Has anyone ever tried to make a song for LOTR like Lenard Nimoy did for Ballad of Bilbo Baggins?
Ethan Nelson
I usually got to the Complete Songs and Poems by the Tolkien Ensemble for my LoTRs music fix.
It has Christopher Lee for several of the tracks
Adam Bailey
If only I had asked that at home instead of at work.
Now I got to wait 8 hours to watch that beautiful vid.
Luis Cruz
>Alan Lee
but that's the fucking movie shit that sucks
Ted Nasmith is good
Also the german dude who did the illuminated manuscript for the silmarillion
Liam Parker
You left out John Howe, my dude.
Nathaniel Sullivan
Arwen was like 13 and not his love interest so it was a-ok
