1978 Animated Lord of the Rings Movie Now $5 on Amazon

by Lucy Apr 25,2025

While the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies are widely celebrated, they weren't the first to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga to the screen. The inaugural cinematic adaptation was the animated version of "The Hobbit," released in 1977. This was followed by the animated "The Lord of the Rings" in 1978. Whether you're a long-time fan or just discovering these classics, you're in luck because the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 "Lord of the Rings" animated movie is currently on sale for an unbeatable $5 on Amazon.
