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

The Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings" films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's work. 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 1978 animated classic is currently available at an incredibly low price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 "Lord of the Rings" animated movie for just $5.

4$14.97 save 67%$5.00 at AmazonThis 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual approach even resulted in an unscripted moment—Aragorn tripping—which was incorporated into the final animation. These charming imperfections add to the film's appeal.

The $5 price tag is a fantastic deal for a remastered DVD. Even if you don't plan to watch it immediately, it's a worthwhile collector's item to complement your other "Lord of the Rings" Blu-rays. For more similar savings, explore Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
