1978 Animated Lord of the Rings Movie Now $5 on Amazon

While it's true that the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies were a cinematic masterpiece, they weren't the first to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga to the screen. The very first adaptation was the animated version of "The Hobbit," released in 1977, followed by the animated "The Lord of the Rings" in 1978.

Whether you've seen these films before or are just discovering them, now's the perfect time to dive in. The remastered deluxe version of the 1978 "Lord of the Rings" animated movie is currently on sale for an incredibly low price of just $5 on Amazon.

The 1978 version of "The Lord of the Rings" is a unique blend of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live-action footage. One of the film's charming quirks is a scene where Aragorn trips and falls—a genuine, unscripted moment that was animated over and included in the final cut. These little details make the film a must-watch for fans and collectors alike.

At just $5, this DVD version is a steal, especially considering it's been remastered since its original release. It's a great addition to your Lord of the Rings collection, even if you're not planning to watch it immediately. For more savings, check out the ongoing Amazon Presidents' Day sale.
