Bought it this week and imo opinion its greatly superior the the live action films

One thing though, i remember watching it years ago and im sure it contained a scene at the start where its black and white and everyones sat round a table being handed the rings?

 

I remember seeing this one as well - they couldnt do part 2 as they had run out of money. Dont remember the black/white bit though - but then it has been about 20 years since I saw it.

Where did you manage to get a copy of that?

I always remember the eyes being highlighted - gave me the *******

 

Seek and ye shall find

 

The Fellowship and The Two Towers are covered in this, its Return Of The King that they didnt do.

 

IIRC wasn't it (or part of it) made with a technique known as rotorscoping? Something about filming live action and then converting it into a cartoon type animation?

Remember seeing it back in the 80's and didn't think much to it then.

 

Yeah it was, not all of it obviously but quite alot of scenes.
