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 foray into Middle-earth. That honor belongs to the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the equally 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

The 1978 adaptation cleverly blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unique approach even resulted in an unscripted moment—Aragorn tripping and falling—which was charmingly incorporated into the final animation. These unexpected quirks add to the film's unique charm.

This $5 price is a phenomenal deal for a remastered DVD. Even if you're not planning an immediate viewing, it's a worthwhile collector's item to add to your Lord of the Rings collection. For more similar savings, explore Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
