This is actually incredible. Serious retro nerd shit. The rotoscope animation is pure, janky and beautiful and at times this film is genuinely creepy. The backdrops remind me of looking at old video game inserts from the 90s. It’s also really hilarious occasionally, especially when compared scene-for-scene with Jacksons trilogy. It has an absurd lofi magic and the acting has this calming nostalgic BBC budget radio drama quality (John Hurt is the voice of Aragorn). Sadly they never finished the planned sequel to this - one day it should happen. Make it. Make it for me.

😃Who Framed Roger Rabbit, even though it’s a hybrid of animation and live action, absolutely blew my mind when I first watched it, even though it was only like two years ago. But if we’re talking strictly animated, it’d have to be the reconstruction project for The Thief and the Cobbler. It has one of the most interesting yet tragic production histories, but thanks to a devoted fanbase, it’s come to see the light of day as its creator intended. Also features Vincent Price in his final performance before his death. I’m on mobile and I don’t know how to link lol but here‘s the recobbled cut of it! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BKTCSLbjhtM

🧝It’s come to my attention recently that not everyone has seen these movies. If that’s you that’s ok!! I understand not everyone vibes with fantasy as a genre.
However!!! If you believe in the power of friendship and incredible, painstakingly thoughtful filmmaking, they are worth a try.
If you are already a fan, maybe it’s time for a rewatch and maybe gently invite a hesitant friend who is new to it all.
The end of Return of the King always makes me cry
