Space was running the animated

Space was running the animated Lord of the Rings film from the 70's a while back. I originally saw this when it came out in the theatre, and I've had 20-odd years to wipe it from my memory. But these screen-caps convey some of the horror I felt watching such a terrible film. Peter Jackson's live-action epic trounces practically everything this filmic abortion attempted. The only thing the Ralph Bakshi film had going for it was John Hurt's voice as Aragorn, and that ain't much.

Mighty Mouse is the only good Bakshi...
