Episode 11: An Unexpected Journey to Middle Earth

from Rankin on Bass · host Weirding Way Media

In 1977 Rankin & Bass did one of the first successful adaptation of JRR Tolkien's work with their adaptation of The Hobbit. In 1979 they tried again with The Return of the King. Between those two, Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings complicated matters.
