[The Lord of the Rings Mythology Explained (Part 1)] (Viewer #6,180,274)
I recently re-watched the Peter Jackson “Lord of the Rings” trilogy (recommended), as well as the 1977 Rankin & Bass animated “Hobbit” (also recommended), and the 1979 Rankin & Bass animated “Return of the King” (which assumes you know the first two books, and just does the third – it’s a cinematic atrocity which no one should be forced to watch. Even worse than Peter Jackson’s “Hobbit”, which – unlike “Return” – did NOT having awful songs which you will find yourself humming afterward)
Anyway, this video should be watched before you watch any of the above.
The R&B Return of the King drove me crazy. When watching, It felt like the creators were more interested in showcasing LOTR related songs than telling the story. I really liked the Hobbit cartoon and like Orson Bean’s Bilbo a lot but this was awful!
I know… They had 3 hours of story to tell in 77 minutes, and they kept… singing…songs
Where there’s a whip … there’s a way!
