The Lord of the Rings (animation): Difference between revisions

* [[Gonk]]: Oh, Sam, what did they ''do'' to you?

** To be fair, Sam was [[Played for Laughs]] during what was to be the first half of the film. One may notice as Frodo gets weaker, Sam gets more assertive and less silly.

** [[John Hurt]] is Aragorn.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: It's not too much of an issue for most of the movie but it's particularly glaring when the Fellowship is trying to cross the Pass of Caradhras.

* [[Nothing Is Scarier]]: Unlike in Jackson's adaptation, we never really see Sauron, only his shadow.

* [[Our Dwarves Are All the Same]]: Oddly enough averted, Gimli is human sized and Moria has some of the most hideous faces on ''its'' walls.

* [[Race Lift]]: Aragorn seems to be Native American.

* [[Rotoscoping]]: Pretty well done for the most part, but during the opening exposition that is visually delivered in silouhette, it's painfully obvious that Gollum is a guy in a big rubber mask and gloves.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: Due to [[Executive Meddling]], this was supposed to have been titled ''The Lord of the Rings Part I'', but this was deleted from the posters; however, the end still retained a voiceover stating that this film was the end of the first part. The home video editions redubbed a new voiceover without the hook.

** It's corrected to Saruman in the DVD subtitles.

* [[Stillborn Franchise]]
