Could there be a Dark Toons episode on “That’s Life!” from The Fairly Oddparents?

Ah yes, the LOTR with the rather questionable Samwise Gamgee xD i remember you covering this gem on your Old vs New back in the day, I look forward to this!

Oh, well guess i wont be needing the LSD after all. This was a damn good movie and John Hurt nailed it once again in voice acting.

CALLED IT! XD

I really enjoyed the animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings... but didn't like the Return of the King. The Jackson ones were much better though. Oh hey! can you review The Rock 1996.

The world is getting dumber, to the point that they discriminate anything they see as "outdated."

Nobody ever claimed the animators were lazy Just the guy who hired them to animate

*tell that to any production house that produces hand drawn cell animation for top tier anime*

Well, it depends on who you call lazy in that context. In this case, the person didn't draw so your argument doesn't work. In the same vein, making a movie is hard work, very hard work, but it doesn't mean that every executive producer put effort in it. In some cases a producer is very hands on and in others he's just the money. Edit: And in other cases executive producer is nothing but an honorary title. My point is, it's not because doing something is hard work that it means everyone involved in it is working hard, and it's even more true when talking about something that requires so many people to finish.

Unless it's Disney. EVERYTHING they do is lazy

Nice reference

Thanks

Let’s make it so

Weird Guy 149 that’s not for little little kids

I love those romantic little stories ^^

Confession, I had a Fellowship of the Ring poster in my bedroom when I was a teenager.

Did you say "Oh my" before saying "Oh hoooooooray!"

@SAMUEL HENLEY My memory is bad but. I think Sam may have had said "Yippee" when hearing he was going to see the Elves. I like LOTR Fellowship of The Ring PC game interpretation of Sam... less lameish portrayal compared to the cartoon. But only wrong thing about this cartoon is the portrayal of Sam, everything else had its flaws but was alright

@Kejiri I should play the game, it sounds great! But I just want to give my 2 cents about Sam in both Bakshi's movie and the book... As the youngest and most earnest of the hobbits, Sam absolutely started out as cringey and childish. He was developmentally the hobbit equivalent of an 18 or 19 year old, while Frodo would have been in his mid 30's if he were human. As a younger millennial, I've seen how friends only a few years older than me cringe at Gen Z. Imo, it's normal for Sam to be cringey, he's very young. But it's that youthful enthusiasm that powers him and lets us root for him later, when he finds the strength within himself to be serious and press on when Frodo can't keep going any more. He grows from a childish youth into a strong adult, and he's one of very few characters who can genuinely reject the call of the ring. That's why I'm a-ok with Sam's "Oh hooray!"s and "Yippee!"s, I just wish we had the chance to see him come into his own in Bakshi's style! On a different note, the way the Finnish LOTR show did him was interesting... They play him very young and optimistic, but with a level of sincerity that suits the character well. I like the actor a lot, despite the terrible costuming choices and the absolute insanity of that series. He's probably the best part of it, terrible mullet and all.

That joke just went by you totally.

That's a good description. Although, I feel like Critic is ignoring or over-praising a few things in this movie. The facial expressions on some characters and their movement are VERY difficult not to make fun of. That doesn't make the movie bad though. If anything, it just makes it unintentionally hilarious

@@MrManowar6 "Unintentionally Hilarious." Describes M. Night Shyamalan's works pretty well. 😆

@@MrManowar6 The visuals at times are comparable to Zelda CDI. There is a reason why the film isn't so well regarded today. Also, it is well documented that the Critic disproportionally hates the Jackson trilogy.

Hell, I like Bakshi's version FAR better! That OTHER, more popular version is too much of a big bland bloated mainstream Hollywood cgi orgy for MY blood.

Bakshi's film is animated vomit. There! I said it! Rankin/Bass version of the Hobbit and Return of the King captured the spirit of Tolkien's work, despite its inaccuracies, in a way that Bakshi never even attempted. It seems that baskhi was more interested in being "artsy" than being even good entertainment

@@kejiri3593 Where there's a whip, there's a way...

I actually prefer Peter Jackson’s Aragorn. I kind of like Aragorn having to accept becoming king over time rather than being king from the beginning.

Aragorn was very into being king in the books he had just been told of his heratage and was dancing and singing about it when he met Arwen. I actually like both portrayals of Aragorn in RB and PJ films. They are very different from each other but both stand on their merits. Also remember that Vigo wasnt the studios original choice for Aragorn they wanted Stuart Townsend so we lucked out with Vigo.

@@gm2407 I agree, the more takes on the various characters, the better IMO. Y'all seen the Finnish LOTR called "Hobitit"? Now that's a trip and a half.

I dunno man, it's been a while but did Tolkien describe Frodo as a hobbit version of the Beatles? And more importantly, did Aragorn wear a miniskirt in the original books? I don't seem to recall those...

@@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319 he's talking about their personalities tho...

@@bluestormpony Glorfindel is a really nice callback to the Silmarillion. Tom doesn't tie into any previous writings.

Fun Fact, Tolkien was really just interested into the world-building of Middle Earth as a private hobby. When he created it, he figured that he may as well tell a story in it. And that's why LotR and Silmalarion really read more like a history book and every rock the protagonists stumble upon has a thirty pages backstory.

@@wjzav1971 LOTR reads nothing like the Silmarillion. Also this isn't even true. LOTR is a narrative first and foremost while the Silmarillion is meant to evoke works like the Prose Edda and the Kalevala. Tolkien was interested in preserving the medieval literary tradition.

@@lucgermain9310Originally the two Glorfindel's were supposed to be different personas, but Tolkien explained in a later essay that he wanted each elf to have a unique name, so he merged them into one. It was unplanned though, haha.

The only problem I have with this idea is that I have no idea how to pronounce “Bakshiuary.” Which is exactly how Bakshi would want it.

@@JamailvanWestering The former.

@Salvo Hatteras I dare because it’s pretty stupid

@@JamailvanWestering just your opinion.

Ralph Bakshi is certainly, at least, the bigger pioneer and innovator over frigging Peter Jackson. For example, creators and fans of things like Heavy Metal, Ren and Stimpy, South Park, and Futurama all owe Bakshi a debt. Now, do tell us, WHAT exactly has Jackson influenced? .. . zilch!

I wish they would have made Return of the King as well. This version is such a product of the 1970s and their unapologetic style of making animation brutal when it calls for it its absolutely stunning.

I admire it, but I simply can not watch it. The pacing is not made for me. Its so god damn rushed for 95% of the movie, and glacial for the other 5%. Edit: This is not Bakshis fault of course. When your mission statement is, to bring two thirds of the story into one short movie, its crazy that it even worked at all. especially considering, how much of the details he managed to keep in.

It’s a shame Bakshi never got the chance to complete the saga.

Like NC says the dialogue is better in the Bakshi movie. I rewatched the Jackson movie and everyone speaks in sound bites.

I think you need a CAT scan

Jealous.

Thomas Davies Lucky.

Brother theodore from the ranking bass hobbit and return of the king was also quite the character

@@dantefromdevilmaycry9857 I'm tossing a coin to the witcher for this comment!

It would be interesting to know if Jackson ever even read the whole book, or did he just skim it through for action scenes.

Seriously. Credit where credit is due. Even with all its imperfections, I give this movie high regards because of it. Considering how much in-between, filler stories, adventures there are in the book, this movie pretty much streamlined what LotR story up to Battle of Helm's Deep should be like. Maybe I have some bias because of it, but that maybe why I felt Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers were smooth in terms of pacing and storytelling while Return of the King, not so much. Really don't understand the haters. I consider, no this movie → no Peter Jackson's LotR. Maybe they saw this movie after Peter Jackson's LotR and felt really disappointed.

@@andrewyp6724 I agree with your point, I am one of those who watched Jackson's trilogy even before knowing this was a books series by Tolkien so I obviously didn't knew about this adaptation either untill a few years ago. I really don't understand how people can hate this movie when it was kinda ahead of his time with all the limitations it had, it is not fair to compare 2 hours of an animated movie trying to tell as much as it could against a big production of 3 parts which length is 12 hours in total. It isn't fair at all for this version to be hated just because Jackson's is superior.

Jackson says in the commentary that he only took one thing from Bakshi's, the shot of the guy yelling "Proudfeet!"

@@meduseldtales3383 He kept the book by his side throughout the script process; but they did focus heavily on upping the action, and maintaining the tension and dread throughout (especially regarding the ring - hence the changes to Faramir, Galadriel and others)

At the risk of getting bashed by Tolkien fanboys, I think it’s the weakest part of the books. The whole reason Gandalf keeps disappearing in The Hobbit and LOTR is so that he can’t help the other characters. As the series goes on, it becomes more and more obvious.

@@lewiskazinsky7334 really? Can you explain in more detail? I’ve never thought about that before

@@questworldiangreenknight7455 I can’t explain it well, since I haven’t read the books. But the reason being is that Gandalf is a wise wizard, so powerful in a fight that he would make a lot of encounters trivial, and he’s smart and wise enough to make the journey easier for our heroes.

@@MultiBoxingKid oh. I’ve read the extra stuff that was going on in the books. In the hobbit he was doing some stuff that he did in the movie but there were changed in detail

@@questworldiangreenknight7455 Well another thing is the people Gandalf knew, like the bear guy from the “Hobbit”, he found a way to make sure he wouldn’t get angry with the dwarves and even got them food and ponies.

@@DISTurbedwaffle918 The best filmmakers are usualy the ones who have no restrictions put on their artistic freedom, and even when they do, they try their best to ignore them. Ralph Bakshi was certianly one of them

While I would like to agree, I also can’t ignore the possibility that Bakshi’s weirdness would have no limits and we would basically get a movie more convoluted than Dune.

@@michaelcarmona7838 What was convoluted about Dune? The only thing I didn't like about that movie was all the redundant inner thought whispering OVEREXPLAINED the central thesis. "Is he the one.... WELL IS HE?????" Otherwise, it was also brilliant.

He said he read them like 3 times after he got the role?

My guess is his version of ROTK would’ve been more about Sam maturing and having to toughen up as Gollum gets closer to Frodo and the odds are stacked more and more against them

@@mrcritical6751 I agree on this idea.

I know exactly how. It's called a Dramatic Climax Character Evolution. In the face of the most Auspicious peril that you could come across the need to tell silly jokes gets YEETED to one side and seriousness takes the forefront as he hefts frodo on his back making it all the more dramatic when it happens. It's like, this character who was silly this entire time chooses to put town the jokebook and picks up his proper responsibilities.

@@scottbruckner4653 100%. You can already see it kicking in towards the end of Bakshi's movie, where Frodo is getting weaker and more volatile, and Sam is getting increasingly tired of Gollum's shit and is starting to struggle to keep Frodo going. A lot of folks also forget that Sam is a LOT younger than Frodo in the books, and that was true in Bakshi's version too. I think it would have been really awesome, seeing that funny-looking little weirdo finally pull himself together and become the hero. IMO that's the main reason why Bakshi had him be so silly and childish at first. And it's not like he wasn't a goof at the beginning of the books too.

I grew up with this. Hell, I was born in 1978.

My Grandfather gifted my brother and I the animated series The Hobbit, Bakshi's LotR, and RotK in 1993. I was six years old and I enjoy(ed) all of it and continue to.

The weird moaning noises scare me even after watching it upwards of 15 times.

The Nazgul are my favorite part of the Bakshi version; everything about them is wicked. Even the weird moaning sounds

The attack in the Prancing Pony is the most obvious scene where you can see the parallels.

The Prancing Pony scene was the most disturbing part of the movie, imho.

*agreed...the first encounter with the limping wraith was more terrifying for me than the refined live action variant* *not that i'd want to encounter either*

I'm glad that for once I can read about two completely different directors doing the same source material and hear that they liked each other's work and that the one who did it second was inspired by the first. Bakshi and Jackson would probably be good friends

FOOL OF A TOOK!

This film and Willow made me fall in love with fantasy. I still remember before I could read looking trough my dad D & D book while he was working on ongoing campaign. I think I was 5 years old when I watched it with my dad for the first time... It was a beta tape! Later I read the whole thing while I was in in fourth grade (I couldn't get into the simarilon until high school).

Not a masterpiece? idk, i think it might not be the masterpiece people wanted, but i have a hard time not calling this a masterpiece. The hole point of a master piece, is its the most ambitious work the artist have made, a mastery of a skill. Find it funney how much a holy fantasy bible LOTR is, i'm still having trouble getting through LOTR, but HOT damn do i respect every moment of this story and all the art gone into it, and just how much a foundation it is for the fantasy "culture" as i think you can rightfully call it.

I honestly believe it's a great film and better adaptation of The Lord of the Rings than the Jackson version, but it does have some failings (a less likeable Sam for about two thirds of the film and needing an extra half hour to explain things to people who haven't read the book). It's amazing how much more of the book was put into half the time, with changes only made to streamline the story (such as replacing Glorfindel with Legolas, which would have worked in the book). It's not my favourite adaptation, that's still the 80s BBC radio adaptation, but as a fan of the book I find it easy to watch while the Jackson version just makes me annoyed.

Well, people didn’t know when first saw that the movie was only part one, this caused some controversy and lots of people were furious for getting a incomplete story. At least, Rankin/Bass managed to end the saga, but isn’t the same thinks Bakshis done.

@@MasterGeek-mk5ne Didn't Bakshi want to call this Lord of the Rings Part I to avoid exactly that?

As much as I love Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the Bakshi version has its charm. It is a masterpiece in its own right and any true Tolkien fan would appreciate it for the art and effort put into it.

We don't want to go to war today! But the lord of the lashes says "nay nay nay!"

Well you know what they say “The Greatest adventure is what lies ahead, today and tomorrow are yet to be said”

Jessica W even in jacksons hobbit (battle of five armies) thorin calls fili and kili (his nephews) his “sister sons”

We still have this system in Sweden, and I consider it far superior in keeping track of how people are related, for example, instead of calling two people your grandpa, you have your mother-father and your father-father and everyone always knows which of the two you're talking about. Likewise, to a non-English speaker, the word "niece" gives no clue in itself to who it refers to, but everyone with a bare-bone recognition of the language gets immediately who you mean if you say "brother's daughter" or "sister's daughter".

Gertrud Bondesson Somewhat similar in Finland as well. We also differentiate uncles whether they're related to you father (setä) or your mother (eno).

Just to clarify (and because I'm a jerk who loves nitpicking), if it's the section of Hamlet that I think you mean, Hamlet refers to Claudius (his uncle) as "uncle father" and refers to his mother as "aunt mother". This has little to do with what's being described here, it's just because his mother is married to his uncle, thus making his uncle both his uncle and stepfather (hence "uncle father") and his mother both his mother and aunt (hence "aunt mother") and he's trying to obliquely make the point to his friends just how messed up his family situation is. At all other times, he just calls Claudius "uncle" or "my father's brother" with the apostrophe-s still intact.

If Luigi in the Mario Movie calls Mario his father AND his brother, I'm not surprised.

After watching this review I really wanna this movie again too bad I don't have the old TV I used to have that plays VHS tapes or a VHS player.

Could you imagine being a kid in the early to mid 1900s and witnessing rotoscoping for the first time? Folks were so use to regular, wacky animation they were probably freaking out about rotoscoping being too realistic that it was creepy

In the Secret of NIMH, they decided to rotoscope the Tractor to make it all-the-more terrifying.

The thing is i slept in a bedroom that had a trapdoor to the attic and at night i always would image at least one pair of those glowing eyes staring down at me from up there. Really gave me the creeps , but Hell, every time i went there i wanted to watch it again. It's really a shame that Peter Jackson did'nt give his Nazgul such eyes, especially it was mentioned in the books (when Gandalf confronted the Witch-King the book said that there was nothing between the crown he wore and the rest of his body except a pair of glowing red eyes ). So just imagine Jackson, putting those glowing eyes in that helmet the Witch-King wore in the movies. Would be another perfect homage to the Bakshi movie to me.

I mean, that is how wreck-it-Ralphs hands would look if he got as skinny as gollum..

Noooo you can't just slightly change a character name!!!! Haha movie go BRRRRR

I didn't know that

Kunisake Basically all names that begin with a C in Tolkiens writing are pronounced as K, for example Cirith Ungol (Kirith Ungol), Celebrimbor (Kelebrimbor), Celeborn (Keleborn) etc.

Thank you.... when they said Seleborn, 🤣 I cringed. I came to the comment JUST to say this, but you already did!

came to say this too

Wrong 1970s animated Tolkien adaptation

I love that song. Still remember it today.

Or alternatively: *afternoon tea with a wizard gone wrong*

@@artemisfowldragon gone HORRIBLY wrong! I mean, for hell, there's that page with the dwarves mocking him for being concerned about his fine table-settings, pretending they were going to break it to watch him wince -and then Gandalf goes, "oh yeah, Bilbo, old friend? You're coming with us. Like, out of the shire and all." "but why?" "Oh, come on! It'll do you some good!"

@ “but I-“ “You’re coming or there might just be a fireworks accident near your house.”

@@artemisfowldragon "OK, I guess. Just let me fetch my monogrammed handkerchiefs!" "No time for that, Bilbo, my favourite fruit! And awaaaay we go!" "But I-“ " I SAID NO TIME! 🤣"

@ *what follows is a montage of Bilbo suffering horribly under the travels and when his frailty is brought up Gandalf simply goes* "my good dwarves, you musn't simply throw away this snack, look-" *throws Bilbo into yet another life threatening situation in which he boomerangs back to the party unscathed* "He has plot armour! Now now Bibliography, stop shaking. We're on a mission from god- I mean Valar."

Or ANYTHING Bakshi. Fritz the Cat if only for the sake of a few Beastarts jokes

@@MrManowar6 NC did do Cool World, so

Maybe “Fire and Ice” or “Rock and Rule” too.

*really liked that animation*

God yes!

Saw this on acid.... ooooo man

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

No 'you shall not pass' line for the Balrog scene though, 1/10 immediately. But seriously was that from the book or did Jackson just add it?

@@gaminggoof1542 that is one of the most epic lines of all time!

Why Do I Even Look At The Comments guess they missed their chance

Agreed.

John Hurt is simply badass

The Ringwraiths were we wonderfully creepy in both versions. That shriek from the Jackson films is just spine tingling. But my intro to LOTR was the Bakshi film and that, "Come back, come back. To Mordor we will take you." That made my blood run cold and was one of the first things outside of an actual horror film to do that.

Viggo was also somewhat too pretty for the role. Aragorn was supposed to be a rather rough-looking character. More of a type that would scare the sh*t out of you if you ran across him in some alleyway than somebody you'd ask to take a photo posing with you.

I only watched the animated movie after Jacksons movies. I was so surprised by how much I liked it. Many parts more than Jacksons version. Yes there's some silly things and lines but overall it's really impressive. Jackson definitely copied some shots from it! Its so unique with the rotoscoping. Needs to be mentioned with other LOTR media just as much.
