Ok yet another of my weird posts - trying to find obscure presents for wonderful boyfriend!!! Right - apparently there used to be a cartoon version of Lord of the Rings - this would have been a LONG time ago .... he watched it as a child and he's now 28... Anyone remember it or more to the point know if its likely to be available ANYWHERE now????

Cheers in advance for ANY info/advice etc etc!!!

(jeez - i HAVE to stop relying on you guys so much - i cant help it though...you're all so knowledgeable and wise ..... **grovel grovel creep**!!!!!)

Yes, but there proabaly worth a fortune like the old video's - but if you rich try specialised cartoon dealers / auctions etc.

Yes, I remember it, even had a recording of it off Channel 4, donkeys years ago.

I think it was made by someone called Saul Bakshi? and it was quite innovative at the time, it used live actors and animated over the top, I remember the voice of Aragorn was John Hurt!

Also I remember HMV stocking this last christmas when I went past for £2.99, Im sure someone somewhere will have it.

One of my favourites adult cartoons! .....and yes the DVD does finish, but the previous poster was right, it cuts off at the crucial part of the trilogy. There was supposed to be a sequel, but it never came to fruition.

Gollum's voice is done by Peter Woodthorpe who also did the voice of Pigsy for the TV Series "Monkey"

Tim Burton also worked as an uncredited "inbetween" animator.
