Synopsis

J.R.R. Tolkein's fairy tale of hobbits, elves, dwarfs and the Dark Lord of the Rings is one of modern literature's great fantasy sagas. Ralph Bakshi, America's foremost new-style animator, translates the first two volumes into a full-length cartoon in a way that respects Tolkein's story and inspiration while simplifying his veritable thicket of heraldic and genealogical lore. His advanced techniques turn a literary classic into an intense and magical visual experience. A large cast of well-known voices, including that of John Hurt, will excite the discriminating ear as much as the movie enchants the eye, making this a treat for both Tolkein fans and newcomers alike.
