The Lord of the Rings 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Lord of the Rings adapts the foundational fantasy novel into animated theatrical form, sending its central party of companions through the early stretches of the long quest that defines the source story. With voice work from Christopher Guard, William Squire, and Michael Scholes, the production commits fully to its register, treating the source mythology with the kind of weight and visual ambition that the broader Tolkien tradition rewards. The production used the demanding rotoscope animation technique to translate live-action photography into painted moving form.
