    I’ve never seen this before. It felt like I was watching a Joel Haver cartoon without the surreal comedy. I’ll have to watch this thing in its entirety.

      I didn’t know Joel Haver… but I see what you mean xD XD.

      I’ll have to watch this thing in its entirety.

      If you’re going to watch the whole movie, here it is some advice:

      • Don’t expect the full story. I’m not sure what the plans were, but they run out of money in the middle of the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Most people find this a good thing.
      • Don’t look Legolas in the face. Seriously, DON’T LOOK AT HIM!
      • Take into account that we are talking about the 70s, “special effects” tend to be very psychedelic.

      Details you may appreciate:

      • Magic is more subtle / abstract (maybe too abstract at some points) than in Peter Jackon’s. No breakdance-battle-stuff.
      • Not everyone is a pretty face. You can distinguish Aragorn from Boromir at a distance!
      • Gimli has not been Mushu-fied.
      • Aragon does not try to stop Frodo from saving Gandalf when he falls at Minas Tirith.
    • Rhaedas

      I wish they had the tech Joel uses to make his. It’s still tedious, but a lot easier to fix mistake (like tripping over a sword). Huzzah.
