The [[RankinBass Rankin-Bass]] adaptation of the third ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' book is a follow up both to [[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit their adaptation of]] ''Literature/TheHobbit'' and the RalphBakshi adaptation of [[WesternAnimation/TheLordOfTheRings the first three Books (or one-and-a-half volumes)]]. Generally regarded as the poorest out of the three animated LOTR films, due to the disjointed nature of the in-film story, and the truly ''massive'' amount of story that was excised from the original book. For example, Aragorn, the eponymous king, only appears for a grand total of ten minutes, while Gimli and Legolas are nearly completely absent.
That being said, the film is not without its strong points, the songwriting and voice work are still nearly as strong as the earlier ''WesternAnimation/TheHobbit'', and the animation is just as pretty to look at.
