this be another good animation . unlike what bakshi try to do which be try and make a blockbuster out of a cartoon lotr and rankin and bass just try and make a nice cartoon that kid can enjoy and and it wind up be excellent . if you read my review on the hobbit and then you know that the artistry lack a little . though and aragorn look pretty decent . my only real complaint here be that ( spoiler here ) frodo put on the ring halfway through the story and when theoden dy . although and i suppose it would have be difficult to have it on the correct timeframe since they kind of skip some stuff that happen in line with the other character . also and there be a noteable lack of gimli and legolas in here . but then and we might not have want to see legolas since in the hobbit and they portray elf with blue skin and very long ear and pointy finger . but on a high note and they do show the reason why denethor go mad and and that be something pj hasn not do . in a nutshell and very nicely do and kid will like it and so will their parent . like i say with the hobbit . if you see it on the shelf in a store pick it up . you might be surprise .
