Trivia:
Many Tolkien fans were disappointed when Ralph Bakshi's 1978 adaptation of "Lord of the Rings" covered only the first two books of Tolkien's trilogy. When it became clear that Bakshi would not produce a sequel, Rankin and Bass finished the story for him with this TV movie, disappointing fans even more due to its poor, rushed quality. This TV movie is considered by many fans to be vastly inferior to Bakshi's 1978 movie. moreFAQ

yeah it's horrible but considering who made it and the time it was made, it was the funniest animated film that I ever saw(the frigging orcs singing!!hahahaha!,the dream sequence of the hobbits where the orcs waved at them!hahahaha!) and I don't even think that was it's main purpose. For the story I gave it a zero rating but from a comedic standpoint it gets 10 out of 10!
