The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's works. That honor belongs to the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.

Regardless of your prior viewing history, this 1978 animated classic is currently available at an incredibly low price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of The Lord of the Rings animated movie for just $5.

Remastered Deluxe Edition### The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie

4$14.97 save 67%$5.00 at AmazonThis 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual approach even resulted in an unscripted moment – Aragorn tripping and falling – which was incorporated into the final animation. Such unexpected details add to the film's charm.

The $5 price tag is a remarkable bargain for a remastered DVD. It's a worthwhile addition to any Lord of the Rings collection, even if you're not planning an immediate viewing. For more deals, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
