with ralph bakshi most of his film appear to be like two edge sword . you will get something awesome out of it but only if you put up with the silly and the unnecessarily cheezy . the lord of the ring be a great adaptation of the story which perhaps do not always shine in the animation department . fire and ice be a great achievement from bakshi from an animation point of view . the rotoscoping be a lot more detailed and the animation have a vibrant look to it . you still get some of the dull still cell and slightly blur background painting but on the over all the look have definitely get good since bakshi last fantasy epic . the animation have almost a realistic naturalistic style to it and and unlike in lotr where this style be often at odds with the actual content and here it enhance the film unique atmosphere . unfortunately the film fail to create a meaningful story out of it simple setting and in fact most of the character motivation be pretty blur . lorn and tigra be easy case but even the main villain necron be difficult to follow not to mention that guy with furry face mask ( also know as just that guy ) . even though most of the voice actor be appropriate and there be some odd quirk in the audio department and tigra especially sound really terrible whenever she scream . however and i believe the film inherent entertainment value outweigh it unnecessarily silly execution of the plot line . the scant clad of the character be something you will never get over but it help you remind yourself that perhaps this film isn not even intend to be take too seriously . it still a hella cool and really funny .
