Amazon Currently Discounted Animated 'Lord of the Rings' This Movie

The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's work. The earliest on-screen version was the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed by the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings.

Regardless of your prior viewing history, this classic is now available at an incredible price. Amazon currently offers the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings for just $5.

The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie - Remastered Deluxe Edition

$5.00 at Amazon (Was $14.97 - 67% off)

This 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. A fun anecdote: a scene features Aragorn tripping—an unscripted event that made it into the final cut! These charming imperfections add to the film's appeal.

The $5 price is a steal. While a DVD, it's a remastered version, making it a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you don't plan to watch it immediately. For more deals, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
