Animated Hobbit/LOTR viewing
I'm lining up some Tolkien animated films for us to watch. I have seen the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings before. Long, long ago in the 1980s. And I can't remember much of it. I have never seen the 1977 Hobbit, or the 1980 Return of the King. Martin has never seen any of them.
Frustratingly of these only the 1978 LOTR is available for streaming in the UK. I've previously nabbed that for us in iTunes, so we can watch that easily.
However I'd like to watch The Hobbit film first. Which isn't streamable in the UK. But I'm now nabbing a Spanish-released DVD. Which includes the original English language audio.
As for sourcing animated Return of the King, well that remains elusive, at least without a region-free player.
But yup. Animated Hobbit and LOTR coming up soon for us. This may be *interesting*.
