The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's work. The earliest on-screen versions were animated: The Hobbit (1977) and The Lord of the Rings (1978).

Currently, the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings is available on Amazon for an incredible price – just $5!
