The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings films are undeniably iconic, but they weren't the first cinematic adaptations of Tolkien's works. The earliest on-screen version was the 1977 animated Hobbit, followed a year later by the animated Lord of the Rings.
Regardless of your prior viewing history, this 1978 classic is currently available at an incredibly low price. Amazon is offering the remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings for just $5!
