... I enjoyed the Bakshi LOTR (as I did WIZARDS). However, I think that the thing that most attracted me to the Bakshi LOTR was the outstanding soundtrack. I've worn out the vinyl LP that I had, destroyed the cassette tape from overplaying, and I am on my second CD .. having worn out the first .. for the soundtrack.
I'm just sorry that Bakshi didn't finish the second part of LOTR.
FLAME ON!!!
Bakshi hated his version of LOTR, I'll agree with the artist. I like Wizards, still a favorite good animation nice twisted sense of humor, let me show you a trick mom taught me while you weren't around...
*stunned silence*
Um... well... what can one say? If you enjoy Bakshi, good for you, but, um...
All I even remember about the soundtrack is that toward the second half of the film, they had an uncanny knack for playing the most upbeat music as the heroes were surrounded by almost certain death. I think the orchestra was rooting for the Orcs.
No flame from me...It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand.
Ya gotta admint... Balrogs with butterfly wings and furry slippers are more comical than scary...
