Lord of the Rings Cartoon on tonight

[James]

7pmEST on Cartoon Network.

I never saw it before, but I know it's borderline godawful. After seeing the movies, this should be pretty funny. The Balrog's a guy with a lion head. :lol

[Emu]

At least the animation looks decent at some parts. :/

[pjalne]

Sam acts like he's got downs in that one. And Treebeard is never introduced and looks like a carrot, if I remember correctly.

[Rongi]

the songs in those movies are so gay :(

[pjalne]

There were songs? I must have pushed them so far back into my memory that they fell out through the back of my head.

[GADZOOKS]

What time is it in Norway, PJ?

[pjalne]

23:52

Wait, you've got that clock that doesn't go to 24. I guess it's 11:52 PM. Or AM. At night, anyway. Oh shit, 11:53.

GET SOME SLEEP!

[pjalne]

It's not a school night for me >:

You're not my real dad >:

[Comrade Rocket]

I wish Dave Attell was my dad

[pjalne]

I wish I knew who Dave Attell was.

[sports]

I wish Dave Attell was my dad

Cause you could get beer from him?

[James]

Holy shit, this is hilarious. Sam IS retarded, and Aragorn looks like He-Man's evil and ugly twin. Legolas looks like he belongs on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

I love all these valuable scenes of people sleeping. Talk about character development. I also love how half of the cartoon is animation, and the other half is washed-out film of real actors.

[sports]

:chatter washed out film of acters scare me.

[Rongi]

There were songs? I must have pushed them so far back into my memory that they fell out through the back of my head.

Where there's a whip :insertcheesywhipcrack: there's a way :(

[pjalne]

Oh my god, you're right. I should probably watch it again someday.

[James]

You might be thinking of The Hobbit cartoon, unless they cut the songs out of the televised version. :/

[Rongi]

They made an equally horrific sequel with an even gayer song called "Frodo of the nine fingers" and the guy that sang it was a complete queen who just appeared out of no where at Bilbo's birthday party.

[Rongi]

You might be thinking of The Hobbit cartoon, unless they cut the songs out of the televised version. :/

Oh shit you're right

But I could have SWORN they had songs in the Lord Of The Rings cartoon :/

[pjalne]

There are two separate cartoons? I need to get my shit straight.

[Mike P]

There are three seperate cartoons. There's "The Hobbit" by Rankin-Bass that was made for CBS, "Lord of the Rings" by Ralph Bakishi (spelled wrong) which was an actual movie, and "Return of the King", again by Rankin-Bass for CBS.

The two made by Rankin-Bass had the songs in them. Treebeard WAS introduced in "Lord of the Rings", but he was only in one scene.

[James]

They're showing Return of the King on Cartoon Network this Sunday, too.

These movies are fucking hilariously awful. I might just have to get them on DVD.

[Perndog]

The thing that bothered me the most about The Hobbit and Return of the King was that they made Elrond GREEN. What the hell?!

Well, that and the hippie music. *shudder*

[Mike P]

Elrond was green? I knew the Wood Elves were green and freaky looking (the ones from Mirkwood), but I thought Elrond was white. Hm.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I've never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies because magic is for fairies and homosexuals. :(

[James]

Elrond looked like Kevin Nealon in Lord of the Rings. :lol

[Immortal Goat]

Hmm. I guess since I was just a young-un when I saw these last, I thought they were good. The animated Hobbit wasn't that bad, except the elves were all freaky looking and Elrond was gray (not green). I did like the Gollum character that they had in that one.

That animated LOTR, however, with the washed out actors in place of real animation, sucked harder than a French maid.

[Emu]

I kind of liked the real actors playing the orcs. It was a neat effect. :/ Then again, I wasn't paying much attention to the movie

[Command Prompt]

Maybe you should all watch this instead



:lol http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0323108/

[James]

I did, and it was one of the greatest movies of all time.
