The Lord of the Rings
Covering the events of "The Fellowship of the Ring" and about half of "The Two Towers", the film tells the story of Frodo the Hobbit who becomes the guardian of the One Ring, created by the dark lord Sauron with the power to enslave all the free folk of Middle-Earth. As Sauron and his Ring-Wraiths search for the ring, Frodo and a fellowship of different races must journey across the lands to Mt. Doom--to destroy the ring and end the threat of Sauron once and for all.

Despite this film's dismal theatrical release, the Bakashi "Lord of the Rings" did influence director Peter Jackson when it came time to do his version. Jackson pays homage to his animated predecessor by duplicating the angle and staging of this Bakashi shot from Bilbo's birthday party.
