Plots(1)
Ralph Bakshi's animated version of the seminal fantasy trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien, made by overlaying animation on live action actors (a unique pre-computer graphics technique). Set in the fictional world of Middle Earth, The Lord of the Rings tells the epic story of Frodo, a Hobbit who must defeat the evil figure Sauron who holds the Ring of Power, which controls the fate of all Middle Earth. On the way he and his band of friends and cousins must do battle with Black Riders, a Balrog and various other animated perils. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
