What do you think of the Bakshi cartoon? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I vaguely remember my uncle taking me to see the LotR cartoon in London when I was 7 (many many many years ago) years old and visiting from the States for his wedding, and I vividly recall many bad dreams due to the Ringwraiths on horses scene which seemed like animation drawn over an live action shot. It scared the daylights out of me for years and I wasn't sure where it came from, and then when I finally read The Hobbit and LotR , it dawned on me where my nightmares came from...those stupid Nazgul scene from the cartoon.
Ugh! I'm so glad I got over my frights and enjoy the books now despite my bad experience with the cartoon.
By the way, I thought The Hobbit cartoon wasn't that bad.
