Animated Lord of the Rings Returns for a Limited Time

The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's masterpiece. The earliest on-screen version was the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.

Regardless of your prior viewing history, this 1978 animated classic is currently available at an incredibly low price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the Lord of the Rings (1978) animated movie for just $5!

The $5 price tag is a fantastic deal for a remastered DVD. It's a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you're not planning an immediate viewing. For more similar deals, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
