ROFL! Also, the way they drew Bilbo made me think of Billy Barty :)

BTW, there's some good Bakshi-bashing on the link I got that from:

Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings"- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Also for fun, see:

Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings, Part One: A Critique

Brentai's Shameless Ripoff of Thumbnail Theatre Presents: Ralph Bakshi's Animated "Lord of the Rings"

"Sam, in particular, comes across as a combination of Porky Pig, Jar Jar Binks, Ru Paul, and JM J. Bullock."
