While the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies are widely celebrated, they weren't the first cinematic adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga.

Following closely, "The Lord of the Rings" was brought to life in animated form in 1978.

Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering these classics, now is the perfect time to dive in. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated "Lord of the Rings" movie is currently available on Amazon for an unbeatable price of just $5.
