I know Bakshi’s version has A LOT of issues, but I grew up watching it again and again and I have very fond memories of it. I’m aware I am in the minority.
One of the scenes I love is Boromir’s death (video link)… if you can ignore the “not-enough-budget” Uruk-hai. I like the roughness and lack of music once Boromir’s is hit with the first arrow.

I’ve never seen this before. It felt like I was watching a Joel Haver cartoon without the surreal comedy. I’ll have to watch this thing in its entirety.
I wish they had the tech Joel uses to make his. It’s still tedious, but a lot easier to fix mistake (like tripping over a sword). Huzzah.
