The DVD was sent in a timely manner. Shipping packaging was excellent. Thank you for delivering a very good B-day present for me to give to a friend. M. Maklary

Not what I was expecting
this was cool to watch but it was kinda lacking. i guess this is supposed to be a sequel to the animated Lord of the Rings.. which if you haven't seen that, or if you are not familiar with the story.. then you will be left quite confused. more singing and oddly animated characters just as The Hobbit. Trouble is, this movie is nowhere near as charming as the Hobbit was. If you're a LOTR fan though, you'll want to see this one.

Do not buy it
I bought this "Lords of the Rings" (animated) DVD (and sold it again on eBay almost nothing).

The movie covered "The Fellowship of the Rings" and "The Two Towers". The Movie was actually well made and I bought "The Return of the King" blindly. I was very disappointed. Part III is not a Kids Book (it is not "The Hobbit" (This DVD was nice and appropriate)). "The Return Of The King" (Animated) is like a bad Disney Movie. I read the books a couple times and after 10 Minutes watching "The Return of the King".. I could not stand it no more and turned it off. I just can give you this advice: DON'T BUY IT! Take your kids to the cinema and watch a nice Disney movie instead.

Grand adaption
I found this film to be absolutely wonderful. The many songs were great, and the odd animation was beautiful, especialy the backgrounds. The animation was highly stylized, unlike Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the rings cartoon. Bakshi and his use of rotoscoping was horrid at some points, such as the battle of helm's deep, while this movie is beautiful throuhougt. The design of the creatures and characters was great as well. Truly a superior adaption of one of the greatest works of literature ever written.

good stuff
It was nice to see this animated version. I had seen The Hobbit when it came out, but don't think I had seen this. Lots of fun
