Well, I'm too old I think, but the few parts with silhouettes were pretty damn working! At least a young lad was taken by them at the time! Meaning the very beginning and the battle at Helm's Deep in the end... and the ringwraiths were more scary in the Bakshi version than in the PJ one. Sorry PJ, you may have the modern technology and all your pixel-twisters, but Bakshi had some pretty good ideas.

No. I'm not defending the cartoon half of the LotR. It was a failure, but...

And my daughters were lured in to the Tolkien world by it, not a bad deed!
