| | The Lord of the Rings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Lord of the Rings began as a personal exploration by Tolkien of his interests in philology, religion (particularly Roman Catholicism); fairy tales, and Norse and Celtic mythology. | | | The plot of The Lord of the Rings builds from his earlier book The Hobbit and more obliquely from the history in The Silmarillion, which contains events to which the characters of The Lord of the Rings look back upon in the book. | | | The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was released on December 19, 2001. |

| | The Return of the King (1980) |
| | The Rankin-Bass team, following their own 1977 The Hobbit and Ralph Bakshi’s incomplete 1978 Lord of the Rings, returns to finish the job, sort of, with The Return of the King. | | | The film hits the most critical plot points, but is clearly aimed at the younger set, with little to interest even the most avid adult Tolkien and/or animation buff. | | | Unfortunately, this style works even less well here than in The Hobbit, which really is a children’s story. |

| | The Lord of the Rings is the title of an animated film produced by Ralph Bakshi, and released to theaters in 1978. | | | Though the film was a commercial and critical failure, it created enough interest in The Lord of the Rings that the BBC decided to adapt it for the radio. | | | However, several unresolved story developments between The Lord of the Rings and The Return of the King were left unresolved, especially the betrayal of Frodo by Gollum, and the attack of Shelob the monster spider-creature. |

| | Controversial animator Ralph Bakshi's literal adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, is brought to the screen in a reverent, stilted way, with Bakshi forsaking his sharp-edged animated looniness for a rotoscoped dullness. | | | Based on the first book-and-a-half of J.R.R. Tolkien's enduring, three-tome Lord of the Rings cycle, animator Ralph Bakshi's 1978 film is itself a time-tested classic. | | | Bakshi winds through Tolkien's first Ring volume, The Fellowship of the Ring, with mystical aplomb, making great use of rotoscoping, a virtually abandoned animation process that involves drawing over live-action film. |

| | 12/22/01: Ralph Bakshi is *such* a tool... |
| | Ralph Bakshi, who directed the animated Lord Of The Rings in 1978, is irate that neither Jackson, nor anyone else who worked on the new three-film series, thought to consult him about the production. | | | The director of the first Lord Of The Rings film is furious with film-maker Peter Jackson for not talking with him before his Fellowship Of The Ring remake. | | | And second, none of them have spoken to me, and I find that ungentlemanly. |

| | Lord of the Rings - Animated - Anime |
| | In 1978, Ralph Bakshi brought out an animated film, The Lord of the Rings, which covered books 1 and 2 of the famous trilogy by JRR Tolkein. | | | Still, the movie is a very interesting look at how many thought about Lord of the Rings for almost 25 years - up until the release of the live action film by Peter Jackson. | | | However, with the new Peter Jackson films leaving out quite a bit even at twice the length, it might be understood now what a challenge it was to even FIT the two books into a movie length. |

| | Review: Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring |
| | Later that year, Ralph Bakshi's ill-fated cinematic animated adaptation of the first half of The Lord of the Rings trilogy bombed at the box office, killing Bakshi's hopes of making a second film. | | | If The Two Towers and The Return of the King live up to the standard set by this film, The Lord of the Rings will become a milestone not only for its genre, but for motion pictures in general. | | | In 1978, Rankin-Bass, taking advantage of the growing Tolkien-mania, produced a poorly-animated TV version of The Hobbit, featuring the voices of John Huston and Orson Bean. |

| | Arwen does not appear in Ralph Bakshi's 1978 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings, nor in the Rankin-Bass 1980 adaptation of The Return of the King. | | | Arwen's first appearance in The Lord of the Rings proper is at Rivendell, when the Hobbits arrive there, and Aragorn is seen with her—the first hint of their relationship. | | | Some argue that the substitution of Arwen for Glorfindel, other changed scenes, and the insertion of additional scenes (mostly involving the romance between her and Aragorn), is a major departure in the film version of the story, and even less acceptable than the substitution of Legolas for Glorfindel in the Ralph Bakshi version. |

| | Three Rings for Hollywood |
| | Before Peter Jackson’s recent blockbuster three-film series, released 2001-2003, there were a number of other efforts to develop a Hollywood movie based on The Lord of the Rings. | | | The Tolkien collection at Marquette University in Milwaukee holds materials relating to three of these attempts: the 1957 Zimmerman treatment, which Tolkien read and annotated, the 1970 draft by John Boorman, and three revisions of the Chris Conkling-Peter Beagle script for the 1978 Ralph Bakshi film. | | | But in all three of the Marquette scripts, as well as in Jackson, the opening sequence includes establishing shots of Mordor and varying amounts of the history of the Rings before cutting to the Shire. |
