The Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings" films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's masterpiece. The earliest screen version was the 1977 animated "Hobbit," followed a year later by the animated "Lord of the Rings."
Regardless of your prior viewing history, this 1978 classic is currently available at an incredible price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated "Lord of the Rings" for just $5.

Remastered Deluxe Edition### The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie
4$14.97 save 67%$5.00 at AmazonThis 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual technique even resulted in an unscripted moment—Aragorn tripping—which was incorporated into the final animation. Such charming imperfections add to the film's appeal.
The $5 price tag is a remarkable bargain for a remastered DVD. It's a worthwhile addition to any "Lord of the Rings" collection, even if you're not planning an immediate viewing. For more similar deals, explore Amazon's broader Presidents' Day sale.
