I love how people are saying this Lord of the Rings is better than Jackson’s. Shows us how people are affected by the terrible Hobbit movies and then convince themselves that the Lotr and the Hobbits were made with equal quality. Now before you all go at me, I grew up with this cartoon, before Jackson’s came out. As I got older, the cartoon got more cheesy and I preferred the Jackson films more overtime. But I will always find this cartoon to be charming, memorable, and I still love it to this day. Here’s the one reason why I will say Jackson’s are better, and that’s because he got Alan Lee to help out with the designs. Who’s Alan Lee? Why the one guy that Tolkien himself would credit to get the most near perfect visual representation of Tolkien’s Middle Earth. This cartoon never had Alan Lee. Here’s the thing though, the Jackson films were a huge deal at the time, possibly Hollywood’s biggest gamble in the 21st Century, and it paid off BIG time. So much passion and energy was put into the project that it became one of cinema’s greatest landmarks since Star Wars. What made the Lord of the Rings (Jackson) so good was that it wasn’t a cash-grab, the fan base for the books was still considered a minority at the time, but once the films came out, the fan base sky-rocketed. Now the Hobbit films failed because of two reasons, 1. It was obviously a cash-grab, so the quality wasn’t given that much attention and they thought that people would go because ‘it’s made by the same people who made the far superior Lotr’. And 2. It was trying too hard to be like the Lotr, here’s the thing, Jackson wasn’t trying to make the Lotr’s live up to something else besides the books themselves. So what we got in the Lotr was original, while in the Hobbit, we already seen it before. I will always call the Jackson Lotrs superior, but that won’t mean I will stop loving this cartoon.

He wears a basic tunic and belt, the typical Roman cape and armbracelets. The basic stuff they wore under their armour. His facial features are much alike the Roman statues found in Italy. Since Gondor and the Numenorian Empire are all based of southern European history. It all makes perfect sense.

Gandalf the White, Gandalf the Fool. Two sides of a coin, embodying the duality within the legendary wizard. Gandalf the White represents his transformation, his ascension to a higher state of power and wisdom. He emerged from the darkness, reborn with a renewed purpose to confront the forces of evil. Clad in white, he radiates authority and commands respect. On the other hand, Gandalf the Fool acknowledges his humble beginnings, his unassuming nature, and the element of unpredictability that lies within him. Like a jester, he employs wit and humor to disarm his enemies and impart profound wisdom in unexpected ways. His seemingly foolish actions often serve a greater purpose, revealing his strategic brilliance. So, Gandalf the White and Gandalf the Fool are not contradictory, but rather complementary aspects of Gandalf's character. They coexist within him, allowing him to wield immense power while maintaining a touch of lightheartedness. It is this harmonious blend that makes Gandalf a multifaceted and captivating figure in Tolkien's world of Middle-earth.

I enjoyed this movie as a kid but even then I felt that the character designs were off. Aragorn the Pantsless. Legolas looked like a first attempt at Galadriel. Gimli looked more human than dwarf. Boromir looked like something out of Conan the Barbarian. Gandalf... well... I actually liked Gandalf in this one.
