When I took my kids to see PJ's LOTR in theaters, my daughter was sobbing after she saw Gandalf seemingly plummet to his death. It crushed her little heart. I didn't make her feel better by letting her know he comes back in the Two Towers. Made her wait a year to experience it. We still argue about whether that made me the best dad in the world or the worst.

Well they could have, if they were at theiir full power. Read the Silmarillion and/or the Appendix for "The Lord of the Rings". The five maiar had to give up their power, because they were supposed to mobilise the people of middleearth, so humans, elves and dwarves would defeat Sauron by themselves. If Manwe and the other valar truly wanted to destroy Sauron, they would defeated him like they did with Saurons Master, Morgoth. That is why the istari appeared as old men, who were capable of some cool tricks, but they were not even close their former powerlevel.

In the Silmarillion, Balrogs were described as the "generals" of Morgoth's armies of orcs. So, they may very well have communicated "I got this" to a bunch of orcs, who would have in turn recognized a balrog as a kind of mythic hero. The PJ balrog is more monster than a general. Sure, facing Godzilla would be scary, and that's what PJ's balrog is: an oversized, rampaging monster, except Godzilla can actually lead other monsters in a fight. PJ's balrog doesn't seem to know how to do even that or even recognize Gandalf as a special kind of enemy (a Maiar, the same sort of being as the balrog). The Bakshi balrog at least appears to have a kind of intelligence and deep malice to it, which is why I found it freaky as a kid an even today.

@@ColeSlaw-rg1gd Yes I know who he is. I'll do another analogy using Meshuggah, since they've influenced virtually all heavy music since, I still think Haken delivered an album on a quality Meshuggah have never reached, The Mountain (which is what I regard as the greatest album of all time actually), yet Haken have been nowhere near as influential or pioneering as Meshuggah. You don't have to break the wheel to give a good adaptation that pays homage to the source material whilst taking its own creative liberties. That's the vital and often so difficult task when making an adaptation of anything into anything not just books-films/cartoons. Additionally, the music, acting, direction, pacing, dialogue it's all utter TOP notch in Jacksons LoTR all the way through the trilogy. The standoff with the Balrog, the breaking of the Fellowship, the Battle of the Hornburg, lighting the beacons, gathering the Rohirrim, Aragon recruiting the dead Army, the battle at Pelenor Fields. Too many to count, how can you not be moved by those moments? When I first saw the charge of the Rohirrim over 20 years ago in cinema, I felt like I'd just taken 600mics of acid and was actually there (I was sober) but man the epicness literally overwhelmed me. If you can't see the brilliance, just because se guy did more for adult animation???? Are you ACTUALLY that salty or childish?

Even now I think the wraiths in the animated film are more disturbing .I think it is the rotoscoping technique adding to the effectiveness of how the orcs and Ringwraith looked like humans but not quite human. I also noticed the PJ LOTR scene in Bree where the wraiths are about to bring their swords down onto the beds is very similar to the animated version. Particularly The camera angles etc. in the animated film they seem to appear out of no where which again is creepy. Shame the other books were never made by baski . I know PJ LOTR are excellent but at the time I was desperate to see more.

I cannot get over the fact that 14 years (and a new channel) on, this is still my most popular video. It's actually wild how much you all love this. Equally wild is how little appreciation I actually had for this, because really, this was a feat, deciding to not only make the Lord of the Rings into a movie, but deciding that it would cover FoTR and TT and animating it... Amazing. Even if the rotoscoping is a little jank in places.

He doesn't! In and of itself they were coequals. In fact as the chief servant of Irmo he stood somewhat higher in the rankings of Maia. However he and the other Istari were forbidden from using their real powers and abilities so he could only fight it as a--very well trained--magic user among elves or men could have done. This was pretty much the dregs of Melkor's corps of Balrogs also. Glorfindel had already dealt with their most powerful individual during the sack of Gondolin. This was one who ran away and hid from Eonwe and Earendil's assault on Angband during the War of Wrath. The biggest problem so far as Gandalf saw it was being temporarily taken out of the game during a critical section of the Ringbearer's mission. He knew Galadriel would look after them for a a while and make sure they made the next stage as safely as possible but he wanted to be there when the Fellowship crossed the river and entered Sauron's primary sphere of influence. Whatever his other failures Jackson portrayed Gandalf and Balrog almost perfectly.

@@orionar2461 Would you believe the wings on a Balrog are actually an area of intense debate among Tolkien fans! Some insist they had wings, others say that they were just wrapped inside a veil of shadow that flapped and furled as if they were wings. In my opinion the very best image of a Balrog in Tolkien art is the one that Ted Naismith painted called I think just 'The Balrog'. It is given from the perspective of looking up from the floor of the bridge past Gandalf to the Balrog above and is absolutely *stunning.* I know a lot of people complain abut Bakshi's LoTR but I must have watched it scores of times when I was young and it still has a great charm for me. The weird rotoscoping of the Nazgul in particular gives them a truly strange and vivid appearance when seen in the Shadow World. Jackson was also good in parts--more in the landscape and physical settings that the actual character depictions in my opinion--although McKellen, Weaving, Blanchet, and Bloom were perfectly cast for their roles.

While I have an appreciation for Bakshi's work, I feel this scene is very much a failure. It's not just the uncanny effect of the rotoscoping on the Balrog and the Orcs, which one may even choose to see as intentional, so as to make them see otherworldy when compared to the protagonists, but the voice acting is subpar if we have to be honest. Gandalf sounds mildly annoyed, and in regards to weight, both he and Aragorn swing their swords about like they were sticks. In fact, the scene is pretty much a perfect example of "When Rotoscoping goes Wrong": the characters all feel somewhat ethereal and weightless, detached from the background.

@@SovereignStatesman I never got terrified from Gandalf in Jackson's version. I got "in awe", "forboding" and "so it has come to this". He knew as an Istari he was the only one who could face such an ancient evil. He knew there was a good chance the Fellowship would be without him. He knew Boromir would fall and Pippin would Pippin and if he wasn't there to calm that elf and dwarf down? It was that foresight of what could happen when the fate of the world was at stake, that he wouldn't be there, choosing then putting on the ferocious act for Frodo. Gandalf wasn't facing his fears or weak; compare his acting to the Hobbits on Weathertop or any of the various shots of men and orcs in fear. On the bridge Gandalf wasn't afraid, he was stepping up and having to choose to leave his mortal team in order to keep the Balrog from escaping and causing more harm by teaming with the Witch-King or something.

@@Undomaranel I like that take on that portion of the movie. Gandalf was the forward thinking type, and often had a deep understanding of the likely events given a situation. Indeed he seemed surprised and gratified later upon learning that Sam went with Frodo, and that the two had passed through Gondor only shortly before he and Pippin had arrived there. "Even the wisest cannot see all outcomes..." he stated and so true was that for him. He feared the likely outcomes of the company if he were to fall, and against the balrog, it was a very real possibility.

Peter Jackon's movies portrayed his attitude perfectly; he was scared but also willing to sacrifice his life. This crap animated movie gave Gandalf no emotion at all.

A balrog is not necessarily on the same level as Sauron simply because they were both servants of Morgoth; that's like saying an orc and the Witch-King of Angmar are on the same level because they're both servants of Sauron. Now, in this case, you're almost correct - almost - because both were Maiar, but there is a vast range of powers within the Maiar, and Sauron gains power from the ring. Gandalf is also a Maiar, albeit given certain limitations, which are never made exactly clear. He was likely scared of Sauron not because he might simply kill him, but because of what else he could do; if a Wizard is killed, his soul is simply released and sent back to Valinor, so he has no reason to personally fear the balrog - the worst it could do is send him home. Now, he likely was scared of the balrog's ability to stop the Fellowship and its mission, and to harm the people he cared about, but that is quite different from being personally scared. The books make it very clear that he was far from panicked - he took the threat seriously, and he may have even been unsure as to whether he would survive, but he wasn't scared per se. Whether this movie is good, however, is a whole different discussion. The point is, pretty much every conclusion you make is wrong.

I recently came across this movie again after 20 years. I happened to watch this movie when I was a kid and a few years later the actual live action came along. Still as a 5 year old child, I was extremely scared by the orcs, and the Barlog, and I actually liked this movie. Yes yes of course watching it now is unbelievable but back then the fact that it was animated meant that it was pretty much "for kids", and thus I was allowed to watch it. I loved the darker tone the blood, the killing! In the impressionable mind of a five-year-old kid who wants to not do what her parents tell her watching this meant I would defy their wish. It was epic and even today it still holds a special place.

After the live-action movies came out, DVD players swept the game and video cassettes were no more.

Essentialy they put people in costumes and blasted them with light and altered the color during film processing. All those weird faces are just masks.
