Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com
Although it was ultimately overshadowed by Peter Jackson's live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ralph Bakshi's animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy classic is not without charms of its own. A target of derision from intolerant fans, this ambitious production is nevertheless a respectably loyal attempt to animate the first half of Tolkien's trilogy, beginning with the hobbit Frodo's inheritance of "the One Ring" of power from Bilbo Baggins, and ending with the wizard Gandalf's triumph over the evil army of orcs. While the dialogue is literate and superbly voiced by a prestigious cast (including John Hurt as Aragorn), Leonard Rosenman's accomplished score effectively matches the ominous atmosphere that Bakshi's animation creates and sustains. Bakshi's lamentable decision to combine traditional cel animation with "rotoscoped" (i.e., meticulously traced) live-action footage is jarringly distracting and aesthetically disastrous, but when judged by its narrative content, this Lord of the Rings deserves more credit than it typically receives. --Jeff Shannon

Chronique amazon.fr
Le monde se partage en deux catégories : ceux qui ont lu Le Seigneur des anneaux et les autres. Les premiers savent et se jetteront sur la seule adaptation (mythique et inachevée car le film ne couvre qu'une partie de la trilogie) qui existe de ce monument de la littérature fantastique médiévale. Les autres, une fois plongés dans le dessin animé de Ralph Bakshi, seront intrigués par son sens du merveilleux et de l'aventure, cherchant à connaître l'origine de ce film atypique, à la technique à la fois révolutionnaire et obsolète, à la poésie naïve et épique. On croyait Le Seigneur des anneaux perdu : les droits furent vendus avec ceux d'un catalogue quelconque et ses fans désespéraient de ne jamais le revoir. La puissance d'évocation visuelle du dessin animé est telle qu'elle servit de modèle aux designers du film de Peter Jackson dont le premier épisode est prévu pour 2001. Le monde se partage en deux catégories : ceux qui ont revu Le Seigneur des anneaux et les autres... -- Ambroise Ecorcheville
