The Return of the King 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Return of the King is a 1980 animated television film that adapts the closing volume of Tolkien's epic into a feature-length production, taking up the long road to the dark land where the One Ring's fate is sealed. Originally airing through The WB, the film stays true to its source material's somber and exhausting tone, treating the long, weary stretches of the journey with the weight they deserve. With voice work from Orson Bean, John Huston, and Theodore Bikel, the production draws on a strong vocal cast to anchor the heavy emotional material.
