Not to say that PJ's version manages to avoid corniness.
EDIT: Maybe it's just that I wasn't allowed to smoke pot when I was three.

Pot and Bakshi go together like peas and carrots, if I may paraphrase Forest Gump. It's not only Bakshi's "Lord of the Rings", but watch his "Fritz the Cat", "Wizards" or "American Pop". I believe I saw all of them in an altered state back when they were released. I think.

The whole sequence with Frodo facing the Nazgul at the Ford in Bakshi's version was far better than PJ's silly Xenarwen fan-fic.
