About this product
Product Information
Continuing the story they began in 1978's THE HOBBIT, directors Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin present THE RETURN OF THE KING, the close to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. As hobbits Frodo and Samwise head to Mount Doom to destroy the evil ring that brings plague to the land, they must overcome a number of obstacles--orcs, ring wraiths, the deadly Gollum, and the madness of the ring itself--while Gandalf and Aragon head an epic battle against the evil forces that threaten to destroy all of Middle-earth.THE RETURN OF THE KING ends the cycle started in THE HOBBIT and continued in Ralph Bakshi's THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Viewers get to see an aged Bilbo Baggins contentedly smoking his pipe and listening to his nephew Frodo's tales. Orson Bean and John Huston reprise their roles as Bilbo and Gandalf. (Bean also lends his voice to Frodo.) And as with THE HOBBIT, there's plenty of thrilling action, masterfully painted backgrounds, and catchy Glenn Yarbrough songs.Product Identifiers

Epic and amazing.
The cartoon is no better than its previous LOTR one, but it’s still good and worth it, even with certain book references and the fact that lord of the rings actually got a cartoon, but not Harry Potter, because for a cartoon, HP only got animated illustrations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Incredible
Incredible. I like the animated better than the realistic. Why? For one thing, the black riders are portrayed as misshapen and distorted with claws instead of hands. Also, the portrayal of their faces if terrifying. I recommend this over other versions!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Launch Pad for Up & Coming Ringers
Great intro to the Tolkien world for kids who might be too young for the scary orcs of the Jackson movies. And not so dumbed down that grownups won't enjoy it as well.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
