Sting LOTR Rip Offs

Well I was at Wal-Mart one day in the electronics section digging through the DVD bargin bin when something caught my eye. I found a DVD called "The Legend of the Ring". Intriged I read the back of it and immediately did the :Cough: Rip Off :Cough:. What I got from the back was (Some of this may not be accurate) there was this normal kid from our world whose is in a magical world and is trying to get rid of this evil ring before the bad guy gets it. There are orcs and goblins that stand in his way but he has a blond elf to help him that doesn't look like he works for Santa but like he came out of Lothlorien except his ears are too big. This sounds strangly familar doesn't it? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Disgusted, I chucked it back in the bin. I tried searching for this movie on the internet but I only get LOTR stuff. This is an older movie probably from the 1980's. It is not illegal to use the ideas of others as inspiration but I think in this case they were too lazy to completely come up with new ideas so they just changed old ones around a bit. Not to mention they kind of combined it with A Neverending Story.
