Like, it's not even close. The 1977 cartoon is crisp, has beautiful artwork, and more closely matches the spirit of the books. Jackson's Hobbit trilogy meanwhile is a bloated mess. I was so bored and uninterested I couldn't even finish the third movie.
Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings is an absolute trip
When we were very young my sibling and I had only ever seen the Rankin Bass cartoons
We found Bakshi's LotR in one of those bargain bins and thought it was the missing film, and then had night terrors for weeks because the monster design in Bakshi's film is on another level.
Very different, but good in its own way.
If you get a chance check out Wizards, it's Bakshi but it's an original fantasy story and it's fucking nuts. I'm not even sure how to describe it.

Giving Trump a bit too much credit, Bernie should have pulled a gun at the end like Avatar did.
I honestly think it's good, too.
