I was looking for the animated DVD Return of the King. The Orcs were not the original Orcs. My grandchildren did not like the Orcs or the dead Dark Kings. The product was in excellent condition.

with the combination breakthrough ( at the time ) animated live acting, the overly long version that really is 1.6 movies in one, it really is a great film. I SO badly wished they completed this with either 2 more movies, or one long one, but, on JUST what this movie IS< NOT WHAT IT ISNT, it really is a good film. It has engaging characters and plot development. Yes, it kind of cuts itself off at the end, as you really are already into the "Two Towers" book somewhat, but, that aside, I loved this. I saw it on the big screen when it first came out, and was hoping ( alas without hope ) for the sequel(s). As animated movies go, this is a bit dark, scary for younger viewers, a good deal of gore and blood. a lot of action sequences ( hence the ground breaking animaed live characters ). They put more of a dark twist on "Stryder" than in the LOTR movies. I didnt read all the books to see if this is more, or less accurate. But, it is still engaging, a good film with enough to keep you glued. If you liked the Hobbit, this is worth a buy. the other animated hobbit movie(s) are kinda silly Disney-esque style flicks, with hardly any of the seriousness of any of the other films or books. skip those altogether. It just so cries out for someone with bucks to make the rest of this, which will never happen.Read full review
Check any influential precognitions you may have at the door. Start the DVD and be entertained with an open mind. Although released in 1978 this works fares well, esp if you've been into the Peter Jackson world. This tries to follow the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien very well and the story does map out with blend of hand drawn animation and animated overlay of real life acting. This is entertaining and for my 5½ year olds it worked as they played with the 6" toy character figurines along with the movie. In short if you can find it and want some special time with your family without in your face Orcs and Goblins etc, get it, watch it and enjoy it - for less than $10 on eBay, why not?
I’m so glad to obtain a copy of this movie. It has a unique art style to it. Stands out along with the story. It’s a movie lovers must see. Came quick and nicely packed from the shipper. Thanks again great purchase
