The 1978 Animated Lord of the Rings Movie Is Only $5 at Amazon Today

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 Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie

This 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual approach even resulted in an unplanned, yet charming, scene of Aragorn tripping—a happy accident preserved in the animation. These quirky details add to the film's unique appeal.

The $5 price tag is a steal. While a DVD, it's a remastered version, making it a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you're not planning an immediate viewing. For more deals like this, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
