I've only seen the Rankin-Bass ROTK and none of the Bakshi films, so my comparison is rather limited, and I too would be curious to hear what people who actually know the cartoons well have to say. But aside from similarity in the medium, I found the two quite different. RB owns its childishness, which makes it endearing, and honestly - the songs are the most memorable. While WOTR (wow, totally different words but the acronym still fits template) doesn't come off as cute, it tries to make itself more serious and grown-up... well, at least teenager grown-up. Definitely is not going for "endearing".
