1978 'Lord of the Rings' Classic Animated Film on Sale Now

Remastered Deluxe Edition### The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie

4$14.97 save 67%$5.00 at AmazonThis 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This blend results in unexpected moments, such as a scene where Aragorn unintentionally trips—an unscripted event captured and incorporated into the animation. These charming imperfections add to the film's appeal.

The $5 price tag is a remarkable deal for a remastered DVD. Even if you don't plan to watch it immediately, it's a worthwhile collector's item to complement your other "Lord of the Rings" Blu-rays. For additional savings, explore Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
