I actually liked this one more than I assumed from the few things I had seen about it before. Seeing it independent of the Jackson Lord of the Rings movies: First off, being adapted from the books, the story and characters are classic and quite nice. Of course, considering they put two of three LotR book into just about two hours, there's a lot of the story's content missing. But I think the movies does a quite good job, considering that limitation, to show the big, most important parts. The characters look, considering the age of the movie, quite nice, the voice actors do a good job, and several of the drawn backgrounds look really nice. The few calm scenes feel nice as well. The usage of rotoscoped live-action in between looks interesting, certainly an interesting stylistic choice, I personally am not a big fan of the mix of it, though. Especially in the few scenes where drawn and live-action characters are shown together it feels a little uncanny. It's not something that's really bad, though, I personally would just have preferred to stick to the drawn models. Some of the character's movement feels a bit "acted over the top", but even that is kinda entertaining. On the same hand
