While Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies are widely celebrated, they weren't the first time Tolkien's epic was brought to the screen. The inaugural cinematic journey into Middle-earth was the animated adaptation of "The Hobbit," released in 1977. A year later, in 1978, "The Lord of the Rings" followed suit, captivating audiences with its animated charm.
Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering this classic, you're in luck. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated "Lord of the Rings" movie is now available at an unbeatable price of just $5 on Amazon.
