The 1978 Animated Lord of the Rings Movie Is Only $5 at Amazon Today

The 1978 animated "Lord of the Rings" is a cinematic treasure often overlooked in favor of Peter Jackson's acclaimed trilogy. Preceding Jackson's work, this animated adaptation, along with its 1977 "Hobbit" counterpart, marked the first on-screen interpretations of Tolkien's legendary tales.

Currently, Amazon offers an incredible deal: the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 "Lord of the Rings" animated movie is available for only $5!
