A cartoon is what you watch Saturday Mornings. Bakshi made an animated movie.<P>Having said that, I feel Jackson's work is definately better than Bakshi's. There's a lot to be said for the animated LotR (Frodo's portrayal for one) but frankly, it should have been streemlined and changed more. For someone not familiar with the book it would be a dizzing stream of names and places. Even I found it began to drag and was releaved when it finally got to it's underwhelming conclusion, and I own the DVD.<P>Technically, I think Bakshi's goal outstretched his grasp, but I admire him for the effort.<P>H.C.
