title: The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
text: Product Description Product DescriptionFrom the manufacturer The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's revered Middle-earth saga captures the dark mood of the books extraordinarily well. The film covers the first half of the trilogy--"The Fellowship of the Ring" and the earlier part of "The Two Towers"--as Frodo (voiced by Christopher Guard), the cousin of Bilbo Baggins from "The Hobbit", is given the all-powerful ring sought by the evil Sauron of Mordor. So begins his adventure, as he must elude Mordor's black riders in an effort to prevent the ring from returning to its owner and thereby signaling the end of Middle-earth. Even with the mighty wizard Gandalf as his ally and faithful friends Merry, Sam, and Pippin by his side, Frodo is still up to his hobbit neck in peril. Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings features a problematic 1080p/VC-1 transfer; one that unfortunately reveals how desperately the film could use the sort of complete restoration studios like Disney have granted their catalog classics over the years. But let's start with what the presentation gets right. Bakshi's color palette has been accurately preserved, bolstered and emboldened even, and looks better than it has in a long time. That's not to say its colors are vibrant or particularly punchy -- quite the contrary -- but its earthy hues, gloomy skies, and muddy reds effectively evoke the filmmaker's intended tone. And while primaries randomly shudder, bright whites often dip and dive, and black levels aren't always as deep or inky as modern animation fans are accustomed to, I strongly suspect each issue traces back to the original print rather than some nefarious technical oversight. Detail has been reasonably improved as well, even if the image occasionally fails to drastically distinguish itself from its DVD counterpart. Filmic softness surges and relents throughout, but every errant stroke of the animators' pens, every mistake, and every shortcut is clearer than it's ever been (even if only by a moderate margin). Still, the whole of the presentation is murky and bruised, even when compared to the Blu-ray edition of Bakshi's Fire and Ice . Though age is certainly a factor, little has been done to address the condition of the print. Scratches, nicks, and specks are both common and distracting, the film's solarized live-action footage is beset by a number of eyesores, entire sequences and battle scenes are drab and dingy, and contrast is terribly underwhelming. It doesn't help that wobbling and wavering, not to mention some slight banding and faint artifacting, also pop up to hinder the proceedings. That being said, I'm not sure how much the studio could have done without committing serious funds to a frame-by-frame restoration; an extremely costly process even the film's most ardent fans will admit isn't going to happen anytime in the near future, if ever. At least when Disney invests millions to restore films like Snow White and Pinocchio , they know they'll see a return on their investment. I doubt anyone working for the studio believes Bakshi's Lord of the Rings could do any such thing, even when being released alongside Peter Jackson's famed adaptation of Tolkien's tale. Dreary and disappointing as it can be at times, this is -- and will probably continue to be -- the best version of the film available on the market. Though it arrives with a similarly adequate thud, Warner's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround track is the highlight of the release, if for no other reason than it offers diehards a worthwhile reason to toss aside their old DVDs. It isn't a remarkable remix by any means -- several lines of dialogue are inconsistent and poorly prioritized, LFE output leaves a lot to be desired, sound effects are sometimes spongy or tinny, and the rear speakers tend to be timid and restrained -- but I would much rather listen to a humble lossless homage than an overzealous reworking of a meager source. More often than not, the cast's voices are clean and clear, Leonard Rosenman's score leaves a fitting mark, sword clashes and hoof-falls are blessed with welcome (if not average) weight and stability, and pans are fairly smooth. Overall, the lossless mix may retain the front-heavy disposition of the film's original presentation (even when armies collide and Ringwraiths attack), but it handily bests its lossy Dolby Digital cousin. In the end, reaction to Warner's TrueHD track will hinge on expectation. It isn't going to wake the neighbors or stir sleeping children from their slumber, and it isn't going to win many accolades from those sliding in Bakshi's animated adaptation after finishing the sonic powerhouse that is the Blu-ray edition of Peter Jackson's Return of the King . What it will do though is please its fanbase. 

title: The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition Collector's Gift Set) [DVD]
text: Product Description Product Description Truly a treasure for avid collectors and J.R.R. Tolkien fans alike, The Lord of the Rings collector's edition DVD set offers much more than the movie itself. Director and producer Peter Jackson presents a spectacular visual interpretation of Tolkien's classic story of the good vs. evil power struggle that takes place in Middle-earth. Over 298 minutes in length on 4 discs, the Platinum Series Special Extended DVD Edition set includes an extended version of the movie, featuring 30 minutes of additional footage not included in the theatrical release. Also included is the National Geographic "Beyond The Movie" documentary program, as well as collectible polystone bookend statuettes based on Argonath from The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, created by Sideshow Weta. In addition, the set comes with a special hobbit-sized edition of The Lord of the Rings fan club magazine and exclusive Decipher trading cards. Set is presented in handsome packaging illustrated by famed artist Alan Lee. Amazon.com In every aspect, the extended-edition DVD of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring blows away the theatrical-version DVD. No one who cares at all about the film should ever need to watch the original version again. Well, maybe the impatient and the squeamish will still prefer the theatrical version, because the extended edition makes a long film 30 minutes longer and there's a bit more violence (though both versions are rated PG-13). But the changes--sometimes whole scenes, sometimes merely a few seconds--make for a richer film. There's more of the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien, embodied in more songs and a longer opening focusing on Hobbiton. There's more character development, and more background into what is to come in the two subsequent films, such as Galadriel's gifts to the Fellowship and Aragorn's burden of lineage. And some additions make more sense to the plot, or are merely worth seeing, such as the wood elves leaving Middle-earth or the view of Caras Galadhon (but sorry, there's still no Tom Bombadil). Extremely useful are the chapter menus that indicate which scenes are new or extended. Of the four commentary tracks, the ones with the greatest general appeal are the one by Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, and the one by 10 cast members, but the more technically oriented commentaries by the creative and production staff are also worth hearing. The bonus features (encompassing two complete DVDs) are far superior to the largely promotional materials included on the theatrical release, delving into such matters as script development, casting, and visual effects. The only drawback is that the film is now spread over two discs, with a somewhat abrupt break following the council at Rivendell, due to the storage capacity required for the longer running time, the added DTS ES 6.1 audio, and the commentary tracks. But that's a minor inconvenience. Whether in this collector's gift set (which adds Argonath bookends and a DVD of National Geographic Beyond the Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ) or the unadorned four-disc set, the extended-edition DVD is the Fellowship DVD to rule them all. --David Horiuchi Product Description Product Description Truly a treasure for avid collectors and J.R.R.

title: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
text: Product Description Product Description Amazon.com With The Return of the King , the greatest fantasy epic in film history draws to a grand and glorious conclusion. Director Peter Jackson's awe-inspiring adaptation of the Tolkien classic The Lord of the Rings could never fully satisfy those who remain exclusively loyal to Tolkien's expansive literature, but as a showcase for physical and technical craftsmanship it is unsurpassed in pure scale and ambition, setting milestone after cinematic milestone as the brave yet charmingly innocent Hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood) continues his mission to Mordor, where he is destined to destroy the soul-corrupting One Ring of Power in the molten lava of Mount Doom. While the heir to the kingdom of Men, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), endures the massive battle at Minas Tirith with the allegiance of the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) and the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Frodo and stalwart companion Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) must survive the schizoid deceptions of Gollum, who remains utterly convincing as a hybrid of performance (by Andy Serkis) and subtly nuanced computer animation. Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have much ground to cover; that they do so with intense pacing and epic sweep is impressive enough, but by investing greater depth and consequence in the actions of fellow Hobbits Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd), they ensure that Return of the King maintains the trilogy's emphasis on intimate fellowship. While several major characters appear only briefly, and one (Christopher Lee's evil wizard, Saruman) relegated entirely to the extended version on DVD, Jackson is to be commended for his editorial acumen; like Legolas the archer, his aim as a filmmaker is consistently true, and he remains faithful to Tolkien's overall vision. If Return suffers from too many endings, as some critic suggested, it's only because the epic's conclusion is so loyally inclusive of the actors--most notably Astin--who gave it such strength to begin with. By ending the LOTR trilogy with noble integrity and faith in the power of imaginative storytelling, The Return of the King , like its predecessors, will stand as an adventure for the ages. --Jeff Shannon Set Contains: Like the first two Lord of the Rings installments, the theatrical-release DVD of The Return of the King has superior picture and sound quality, and that's the important thing. The features on disc 2, however, fall a little short. Two brief documentaries (23 and 28 minutes) chronicle the making of the trilogy and have some good information, but they're best suited to those who aren't very familiar with the films, and some of the material overlaps. A surprise is the complete National Geographic Beyond the Movie program , but it's mostly an excuse for film clips as it draws rather tenuous connections between Tolkien and history, such as comparing Aragorn to William Wallace or Gandalf to Ben Franklin. The six lordoftherings.net featurettes (17 minutes total) are part recap and part making-of, and the Eowyn and digital-horse segments have some appeal. Also included are trailers (including the trilogy supertrailer), TV spots, and a pitch for the related video games (the already-released Return of the King plus the upcoming Battle for Middle-Earth ). Unfortunately, some of the more enticing features of the previous theatrical releases are missing: no music video, no preview of an upcoming movie (obviously, because all the films have been released), and no preview of the inevitable extended edition (presumably because there's a longer time between the release of the ROTK theatrical version and the release of the extended version). Still, the film doesn't really need any extras to make it a worthwhile pickup. --David Horiuchi See more Product Description Product Description Amazon.com With The Return of the King , the greatest fantasy epic in film history draws to a grand and glorious conclusion.
