My first exposure to Tolkien was when I saw the Rankin-Bass cartoons when I was in fourth grade, before I was too cognizant of the concept of spoilers. For all of their flaws, they got the gist of the plot across.
After that my Dad read the books aloud during family reading time (which, looking back at it, was a pretty interesting way to "read" Tolkien for the first time).
