Welcome, Desert Kris!
 It's really nice to hear about your experience with Tolkien's great works! The books were at first quite intimidating to my younger self too.

Oh, and I also really enjoyed reading The Prydain Chronicles!

Also, it was one of those rare books/series that I knew I was looking for but didn't realize it until I found it, the right kind of fantasy that I knew I wanted but didn't know how to look for. The final thing with Prydain is it is something I discovered on my own, through my own reader's journey. I can only ever find people online who know those books, I hardly ever meet anyone in life who has ever heard of them or read them. So in life, they are kind of a hidden, secret series that know one else seems to know about. I am happy and relieved that I found them where so few other have, and been one of the few people who experienced their story come alive in my mind! |

Welcome Desert Kris!
I will admit that I taped (audio) the animated Hobbit movie. That, of course, was decades before streaming and videotape was rare or non-existent. I saw the Bakshi LoTR film in the theater, and I had the poster of Gandalf with Glamdring, on my wall for several years.

Bakshi's LR was the first and IIRC only movie I ever watched in the old 12" analog Laserdisc format.
Incidentally, the intro to the videogame South Park: The Stick of Truth is a loving pastiche of the Bakshi movie.

And it is a wonderful feeling when one finally finds it.
