The best of this trilogy, the second film has the focus the first film lacks, although it's still overloaded with pointless side plots and setup for the next trilogy.
Now we get into the good stuff, the trilogy that showed high fantasy could work on the big screen, as we watch Frodo Baggins heda out on his own journey, to take the One Ring to Mordor to destroy it.
In the big conclusion, Frodo and Samwise head into the mountains of Mordor while the rest of the heroes have to hold the line at the last fortress standing lest the forces of Sauron overtake the world.
Created by Rankin-Bass (the group behind every claymation holiday movie you've ever seen), this animted tale takes our Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, on a wonderfully drawn (if a little slow) adventure.
Developed by United Artists, this Ralph Bakshi-directed animated film has nothing to do with the Rankin-Bass films, and is also weird and a total mess.
Developed by Interplay for the SNES this game looked to create a trilogy that adapted all three books in Tolkien's magnum opus, but instad fizzled out dueto poor sales.
