No, you don't. Unless you want to be scarred for life. I'm still flinching over mispronunciations.

Hahaha, too late. I showed Sarah this weekend!
Gandalf's hand gestures... Aragorn's short short skirt... "ARUUMAAAAAN!!!".... the confusing, overly long Flight to the Ford... I don't know what's funniest.
It may just be Sam.

Oooooooh dear. We gave up at half way through.
WHY DID THEY PUT ARAGORN AND BOROMIR IN SKIRTS?!?!?! And they were extremely SHORT skirts...aaaaaaaaaargh!
To start with it was genuinely amusing. Then it got a little...dull...heh.
Oh and the cheap animation they used for crowds...deary me...
They made the Filght to the Ford so confusing and LONG! But Gandalf's hand movments were actually hilarious...but I don't think Bakshi intended it to be. The Hobbits had some strange facial expressions going on, didn't they...?
SAM! Oooooh deary me.
Oh and Galadriel. She looked like she should have been in Abba or something. Or, as Katie said, Miss World. Oooh and she danced around all gracefully when she was supposed to be going into negative!
If it's shiney, it's magical.

My favorite part is still the Hobbits of the Many Colored Hair.... maybe they have chameleon complexes? And treebeard! *dies from laughter and shame for Mr. Bakshi*

We didn't get to Treebeard. Lego Star Wars was a far more appealing use of our time at that point.
I am still going to buy it though, so that I can be amused.

It's been a long time since I've seen the animated version. It was way before I was obsessed with LOTR.

Treebeard was a massive carrot that spat leaves...
No, we missed the best bit. Frodo tells Sam of his angst and pain from carrying the Ring, about how he doesn't care any more if they can't get back, but "Just to get there!!! The Ring's so heavy, Sam... so heavy..."
It's a very emotional speech for Frodo. After it, Sam sits there for a moment, then slaps his knees, gets up, and wanders about whistling.
Such concern for his master.

I really think that Animated Sam had to be a member of the GHA (Gay Hobbits Anonymous). When Aragorn is telling them about the Lay of Luthien, Sam gets all doey-eyed and smiles, puts his chin in his hand and sighs. I'm just waiting for him to go, "awww!" like a ten year old on a sugar rush.

I think that movie Sam is more likely to be a member of GHA than cartoon Sam.

No, believe me, cartoon Sam is worse.
When he goes up to Galadriel, she smiles, and he GIGGLES and scuttles off.
He reminds me so much of a boy at my drama club... a boy who wears a different girl wig each wig and makes us call him 'LOUISE'.
What does this tell you??
