Well now, in the First Age of adaptations, whereupon artists and filmmakers attempted initial transmutation of J.R.R. Tolkien&#;s crystal-perfect foundation of modern fantasy into the domain of cinema, there were three animated films.

In , Ralph Bakshi directed the theatrical feature The Lord of the Rings (utilizing some of the unsettling rotoscoping techniques employed in his previous Wizards), roughly adapting both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and introducing Frodo, Gandalf, Gollum, the One Ring, and Sauron to a broad new audience. In , Rankin and Bass made another TV movie with The Return of the King. Though the Rankin/Bass and Bakshi projects were not made in coordination with another, they do tell the complete Rings saga.
