While the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are celebrated masterpieces, they weren't the first adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's iconic works. The initial cinematic journey into Middle-earth began with the animated version of "The Hobbit" in 1977, followed closely by the 1978 animated "The Lord of the Rings" film.
Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering these gems, you're in luck. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 "Lord of the Rings" animated movie is currently available on Amazon for an astonishingly low price of just $5.
