While Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy reigns supreme for many, it wasn't the first cinematic journey to Middle-earth. That honor belongs to the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.
Regardless of your prior viewing history, this classic is now available at an incredible price. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings is currently just $5 on Amazon.

The 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual approach even resulted in a memorable blooper: a scene where Aragorn unexpectedly trips and falls—a genuine accident preserved in the animation! These charming imperfections add to the film's unique appeal.
This $5 price is a fantastic deal for the remastered DVD. It's a worthy addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you only plan on adding it to your shelf. For more incredible savings, explore Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
