While Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy reigns supreme for many, it wasn't the first cinematic journey to Middle-earth. That honor belongs to the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.
Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this classic for the first time, a fantastic deal awaits. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings is currently available on Amazon for just $5!

The 1978 adaptation cleverly blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unique approach even resulted in an unscripted moment—Aragorn tripping and falling—which was surprisingly incorporated into the final animation. These charming imperfections add to the film's unique character.
This $5 price is an incredible bargain for a remastered DVD. Even if you already own the Blu-ray versions, it's a worthwhile collector's item. For more amazing deals, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
