this be an animated version of tolkien return of the king and part of the hobbit . it be not overly accurate nor thorough and but it be still quite memorable and enjoyable . the movie start with bilbo 129th birthday celebration . the guest list include frodo and sam and merry and pippin and elrond and gandolf . the minstrel of gondor come out and proceeds to sing . from there we be treat to flashback . first a flashback of event from the hobbit and follow by event from fellowship of the ring and two tower . the story pick up during sam rescue of frodo from the tower . we be treat to the battle of gondor and frodo and sam trip to mount doom ( through the land of mordor ) and the battle at the black gate . this movie be mostly a patchwork of element from the novel . there be some good voice talent be use . first and foremost be john huston a gandalf ( and the narrator ) . one can also recognize roddy mcdowall a the voice of samwise gamgee . the voice of gollum be also memorably do by brother theodore . these three characterization ( and voice ) along with the music be what make this movie truly memorable . the music be just so wonderful . i fondly remember my childhood watch this movie and in syndication on television during the mid to late 80 and and be simply captivate . it be quite evident that the target audience for this movie be child . while this movie be not perfect and it definitely open the door for me to read the book and learn more . i highly recommend this movie to everyone . celluloid rehab .
