Bakshi's version outshines Jackson's by a drat sight. And he ran out of money and it shows.

Arcsquad12 posted:I like that John hurt aragorn is allowed to be happy and not have the weight of reposnibility weigh him down. He can take a joke and laugh right before he gives you an epic speech and tells you go get angry Yeah. Viggo is good in lots of stuff but Hurt is able to go from a kind of hissing urgency to a proud oratory. He really took to the (rotoscoped) role and emoted the hell out of it. e. You know, I say rotoscoped but I'm not sure whether they did the main chars with standins. It sure looks like it sometimes.

free hubcaps posted:the background art on all of bakshi’s fantasy movies is fantastic, in addition to frazetta I know he had Ian miller on wizards, i really love his stuff Ian Miller is cool as hell. I've got a few "art of Tolkien" kinda books and his stuff is so visceral. Look up his painting of the Hornburg (if you haven't already seen it). Fun fact, there's a brief part with Frodo smiling at Sam when they're off to Bree that's animated by Wendy Pini, the lady who draws Elfquest. She and Bakshi were homies.

Nemesis Of Moles posted:Bakshi has said it was because of a lack of funding. He struggled to secure the cash to make movies basically his entire life. Partially cause animation for adults wasn't really A Thing in the way it is now, with only a handful of studios believing it worthwhile, and the scene dominated by Disney, partially because it kinda seems like Bakshi is an "interesting" person to work with. The Rankin Bass people made a sort-of-sequel in 1980 that roughly picked up where he left off IIRC Bakshi worked for Disney a long time ago and honed a lot of his skill there before he got sick of it (kinda like Don Bluth and others). He certainly was an unusual guy from the little things you hear about him. In the Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat he apparently went around NYC with a tape recorder and a bottle of scotch and just had randos he met read for the dialogue. I also read something a while ago where he was talking about all the new technology coming out (this was in the mid-aughts) and him marveling that he could now animate things on his own PC that would have taken many people and many days before. His words: "Fuckin' incredible!"
