THE RETURN OF THE KING
(1980 dir. Rankin / Bass) Date Seen: February 8 2023
Never quite comes together completely as a film, but the animation, music, and some spiritually sincere moments keep it "mucho bueno" in my eyes. There's still a twinkle of magic here. And I think people who hate on it too much are just being purists.
59) THE HOBBIT
(1977 dir. Rankin / Bass) 2nd Viewing: February 8 2023
yeah, it obviously stumbles in the narrative department, but the warmth and artistry on display. Still warms my heart quite a bit.. feels cozy. (I still think Tolkien should have titled it "The Jibblitz" though)
