Return of the King : 1 of 5

I think I saw this animated movie on TV many, many years ago, because I remembered some of the wacky songs, but I wanted to rent it as kind of a finish to seeing the Ralph Bashki film recently (plus is was cool to get a refresher in how the trilogy ends!). The animation style of the movie is much more like The Hobbit, and not anything like The Lord of the Rings (no rotoscoping), which means the Hobbits are all goofy little Cabbage Patch kids. Roddy McDowall does the voice of Sam, who seems to have more lines than anyone else, but the craziest voice is Casey Kasem as Pippin (Casey used to do tons of animation voices at the time this was made) - he sounds completely ridiculous. The songs are terrible, but who doesn't want to see Orcs singing "Where there's a whip, there's a way"? It was kind of fun to watch this again, but I'm so glad the third live-action movie will be out this year to help me forget.
