The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's masterpiece. The earliest on-screen interpretation was the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.
Regardless of your prior viewing history, this classic is currently available at an incredible price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings for just $5!

Remastered Deluxe Edition### The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie
4$14.97 save 67%$5.00 at AmazonThis 1978 adaptation cleverly blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unique approach even resulted in an unscripted moment – Aragorn tripping and falling – which was incorporated into the final animation. These charming imperfections add to the film's appeal.
The $5 price tag is a steal. While it's a DVD, the remastering enhances the viewing experience. Even if you don't plan to watch it immediately, it's a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection. For more amazing deals, explore Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
