The creative team behind 1978's impressive animation feature based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit return with this entry drawn from Tolkien's famous Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's good work all around, and not at all the kind of feature-length cartoon that reduces good books to treacle. Orson Bean returns as the voice of Bilbo Baggins as well as that of the trilogy's hero, Frodo. John Huston is commanding again as the voice of the wizard Gandalf, and also in the vocal cast are William Conrad, Paul Frees, and Roddy McDowall. --Tom Keogh

Not what I was expecting May 13, 2008
M. Randall (Allen Park, MI)
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 July 6, 2007
Carsten Cumbrowski (Fresno, CA USA)
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 June 25, 2007
Sammy Herring (Martian Base 17, Washington DC)
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.

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
