In Bakshi's animated Lord Of The Rings, where is RoTK. Why is it not included? Someone please enlighten me.

It was so... bad. O didnt you just LOVE the Balrog? Haha....wow.

The only part that was kinda cool was how Bakshi pictured the Nazgul moving on foot. It was interesting to see them hobble around and make googly noises. Not very scary IMO, but interesting nonetheless.

If you are talking about the cartoon LOTR, the reason there was no ROTK was that there was no money to make it, the film did not make enough money to recoup what it cost to make, so no others were made and the project was abandon, due to financial problems.

I thought that the cartoon one was hilarious! I was laughing the entire time. Especially at Legolas! And Aragorn. Oh Gosh. And Sam! I actually thought Gollum was kind of good, though!:)

Gollum wasnt too bad, if a little frog-like.

The songs were just awful though, and the voice acting for Sam was just pathetic.

Still, if you're interested...

In 1980, an adaptation of the final book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Return of the King, was shown on TV. It didn't pick up exactly where Bakshi's film left off, and Rankin-Bass may well deny that they made the film to capitalize on the gaping hole left by their competitor's unfinished work. (We haven't asked them.) It did, however, provide a form of closure for those who had seen the Bakshi LOTR but were too lazy to pick up the books and read their way to the end of the story
The name is indeed, "The Return Of The King".

That cartoon is funny for about the first half and hour - then it becomes depressing. There are just so many mistakes, far too many count. Still, it is funny :rolleyes:

Anyone who's seen it should read the review of from Flying Moose. A very humourous review, and sadly, true

And as was said, the follow up was not made because they didn't make enough money to fund it. Which is probably just as well. And I have no intention of getting the animated ROTK, either.
