There used to be this tiny little art house cinema in Hillbrow, Johannesburg, that showed loads of cult films. I saw this there, as well as Clockwork Orange, long before it was unbanned.They apparently ran out of money on the film because the filmed some of the scenes and then painted each frame by hand to give it an animated film. For some reason they ran out of cash?
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the title of an animated film produced and directed by Ralph Bakshi, and released to theaters in 1978. It was an adaptation of the first half of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Although the film received a mixed reaction from critics, it was a box office success, and sparked new interest in Tolkien's writing, although a planned sequel that would have covered the remainder of the story remains unproduced to this day.
In 2006, Bakshi stated that if he were given the opportunity to finish The Lord of the Rings, he would.
Went to see 'Pan's Labrinyth' down the FACT in town the other week and it is a cracking film - I thought it would be a kids film but definitely not ^^
I watched Rocky Balboa lastnight.....
Wasn't too keen on the bottle smashing in the face scene.
