While I can't answer about the herbal enhancements, I do agree that Bakshi's world is much closer to my original vision of the books. Even pantsless Viking Boromir. I'm currently re-reading the trilogy after a long long absence, and am happy to find that the more popular imaginings are fading from my memory.
