The Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings" films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's work. That honor belongs to the 1977 animated "Hobbit," followed a year later by the animated "Lord of the Rings."
Regardless of your prior viewing history, this 1978 classic is currently available at an incredible price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated "Lord of the Rings" for just $5!
Today's Best "Lord of the Rings" Deal
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.
