The Lord of the Rings (1978) // Animation Club

Dir. Ralph Bakshi / 1978 / 132m

In anticipation of Warner Bros. newest anime epic, ‘The War of the Rohirrim’ we’re celebrating with a journey through the past; to a simpler, retro, rotoscoped Fellowship. At the time the most elaborate realization of Middle-Earth, Ralph Bakshi’s iconic vision remains a gorgeous, stylized, and campy animated adaptation of the ultimate fantasy.

'ANIMATION CLUB' is an ongoing series that celebrates new and classic animated films from around the world! From studio titans to hidden indie gems; traditional 2D to stop-motion, 3D animation, experimental, and everything in-between!
