LOTR

Ive seen them too. They are weird and really only work if you (like me) love 70s weirdness (think any Star Trek the animated series weird)

There was the Ralph Bakshi cartoon in 1977. Not heard of a musical version.

Didn't they have one or two songs, like Where There's a Whip There's a Way?

That from a cheap ass tv ROTK cartoon that made Bakshi's rotoscoping look good:

I had this shit as a kid. My friends at school thought I was a soothsayer cause I kept spoiling what was going to happen.

Just sat them in a stack in the corner of the room and stared at them for hours, man.

>orcs singing hippie shit about not wanting to go to war and being forced by generals

>>90704764
I think its less them not wanting war and more about them being lazy pieces of shit.

>>90704764
It's not hippie that's how soldiers in most conflicts feel. Shit like WWII is rare. And in this case they know they'll always be treated like shit and it's just a higher up wanting shit for himself.

There's a musical version of The Hobbit from... I wanna say '77. It's pretty good and an excellent example of how to abridge a longer work without compromising the plot and character arcs.

Ralph Bakshi did an animated version of Fellowship and Two Towers which featured a sort of hybrid of traditional animation and rotoscoping. Also good, if a bit flawed in some ways.

And then there's the musical version of Return of the King........ We don't talk about that one.

I loved the Hobbit film from the 70s. A really great adaptation. The Lord of the Rings movie would've been nice if they didn't run out of budget. Actually, I thought the parts where they couldn't finish rotoscoping would have been cool if they could have planned them for the wraiths instead of mostly happening with goblins.

I couldn't handle the "elves". I mean seriously, what were they thinking?

There was a live musical for awhile got canned due to being too expensive.
