Did you know that Tolkien had a secret book series, written under pen name Adam Medvidović ? These books were inspired with his Catholicism, for he was a devour Catholic, but in this books he was writing for grown up people, and he used great foreknowlegde of coming events, and this books are truly prophetic. He never published them, but after this attack on Ukraine his nephews secretly released the first book of the four books. The first book has a name "Night in Zagreb" under pen name Adam Medvidović. First I didnt believe this info, but then I read the book and thats Tolkien. And its clear why he never published them. He is using some strong words there and dark is the atmosphere. Those are not books for children, for Lord of the Rings were actually for his children. You probably heard of this already and im interested what is your opinion. Is this Tolkien? And second thing - do you know where to get other three books from that series? I heard rumors that they are deleting those books cause they want to change the church, and the books were also warning on that (and apocalypse) so im not even sure how long that first book will be on amazon, if its not deleted already
@@KevinakletvaWhat the heck is this? I googled this and it’s just a bunch of accounts talking about how supposedly great this book is, and not one of them mentions Tolkien.
Really like the artstyle for the nazgul. It not only stands out from the style used for frodo, but it also looks weird in a good way, looks unsettling and quite scary, and that fits the nazgul pretty well
I believe this scene is an excellent interpretation of the scene in the book, FOTR. Frodo being affected by the poisoned blade; everything here looks and sounds trance-like.
I don't mind Arwen replacing Glorfindel. But I do wish we had this moment of Frodo taunting the Nazgul in live action too. The movies did take a lot from Frodo's character. He is way braver and more active in the books.
I always see these comparisons between "the books" and "the film adaptations" whether they be Bakshi or Jackson or whatever. I enjoyed the films, but always remember, whenever there is conflict between the two, Tolkien created this world in the Hobbit, LOTR, and the Silmarillion. The books are canon, anything else is just that, adaption!
These films really did the Nazgul amazing. When I went back and read Fellowship I pictured these guys. And Frodo: I really liked his courage in these movies where as Jackson had him as a damsel in distress
Uh the live action movies DONT have Frodo as a damsel in distress though? Keep in mind he's carrying an artifact of incredible power and evil that corrupted anyone else who held it. He was helpless in certain situations but far from a damsel in distress
Often he was saved by someone else. And he always had a helpless tone. Ya the ring messed with him but his friends around him were always the bravest. He always seemed helpless. Look at him, he’s up against the 9 by himself and says “Ya you ain’t getting this” Though he probably knows he’d die. In Jackson’s film he’s just too submissivez
@@asurmenhandofasuryan4610 In the books and in this film, Frodo Fights, In Jackson's version...Frodo falls Cowering. I would say that...is destruction of Frodo's character AND Tolkien's intentions FOR the Character and the plot.
Peter Jackson claimed in an interview that he had never seen the animated movies before, so your statement about it being a source of inspiration for the movies is completely false.
@Bryson Reins you are calling someone foolish when you use Wikipedia as a source? I remember when PJ was interviewed shortly after the last movie came out in 2003 where the interviewer was asking him about the source material when she knew that PJ had read the books while making the movies. They talked about how the team came up with all the diffrent designs for the armors, and weapons and how people would respond after seeing the animated movies and compairing the two with the books. It was then that he said he never watched the movies before he started making his own works. It could be that the other people of the film team had watched it and used it as material, but he had never seen them before he took on the project. It would be the same as Sir Christopher Lee (who knew Tolkien and had read the books) was giving advice and remarks to PJ. You can prob find recordings somewhere on YT of the interview. Besides, i find it pretty weird you try to berate me when using Wikipedia as the source of your defence. If you did that in an professional environment you would be seen as a joke.
@Bryson Reins dodging the fact that you used Wikipedia as base source for your statement. If you do this as a profession i highly advice to switch professions then. I do human research and marketing in mine, where we frequently use video recordings and interviews as sources. so yes, it will get reviewed.

You are a fantastic internet troll tho, i'll give you that. Have a nice day.
There's something creepy about how calm those Nazgul stayed whilst being overtaken by a wave of river horses. Their own horses drowned but they simply...stayed put.
@@tumper96 he's speaking to frodo as well because along with the fact that sauron wanted the one ring, he also wanted frodo to be his servant and a wraith, as a punishment for taking his ring.
This version was all I had for a couple of decades (I managed to record it on VHS when it was shown on tv one time) until Peter Jackson worked his magic. Have to agree with a number of other comments here that (despite the Peter Jackson Trilogy being a dream come true), this particular scene is superior to the jackson version (and in my head, a damn near perfect interpretation of what occurred in the book). The biggest shame with the Ralph Bakshi interpretation is the fact that they only covered the first half of the story (finishing at Helms Deep), but they certainly did a number of things very well. The nazgul and orcs were done with a combination of animation on top of live filming of actors with crude masks on - it was really effective in conveying a sense of menace (but probably a painstaking process). I also thought that the animation, mannerisms and voice acting for Smeagol/Gollum was superb - but Andy Serkis was on another level with his version (seriously, he should've got every award there is for that role). A few of the other characters didn't quite sit right for me in the animation - Aragorn and Boromir for example, but it was still a fantastic adaptation.
@The Anthropologist _Forensic EXACTLY, I love the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and don't get me wrong, the other animated movies about this trilogy were good, but this one hits differently than all of them, and to not have been able to seen the rest in this adaptation and to know that it'll never happen is just sad.
Just as information for those who have only seen the Jackson movies, and not read the books: This version is WAY more like the book than the Jackson film. Frodo crosses the river alone in the books, there is no Arwen. And it is he fights off the Nazgul with his last will, not Arwen.
@Reed Miller Gandalf says something in the 1978 version similar to "That was Elronds river who took out the ringwraiths, if I may say so, I added a few touches of my own, the white horses and so on" (Based on memory)
Prefer this scene to the Jackson equivalent, because Frodo actually defends himself, despite his grievous injury. Much more heroic and indicative of his willpower. In the Jackson movies, although overall superior to the Bakshi version, they made Frodo too weak and robbed him of the strength that he had in the books.
Definitely agree there. I also prefer the fact that Frodo stands up to the Black Riders when they arrive at Weathertop in this film instead of just dropping his sword and falling on his ass like in the Peter Jackson films. And unlike the book, Frodo wasn't even equipped with a barrow-blade in this movie, just a regular dagger that Aragorn gave him.
I think that here Frodo is too much alive and brave, i just think that after being half dead for a week or so he qas doing a lot of effort to not piss himself in the horse, not because the Nazgul were therw, just because he was sick af
Here the wraiths have been illustrated into an empty world. I wonder if Bakshi took the idea from the words Frodo speaks describing how he felt no taste, did not smell the grass, Hobbiton being a distant image and saw the wheel all the time without any veil. Jackson left the red / flaming eyes away from the wraiths and especially the Witch King during the moments of hatred.
Well, Frodo at that point is close to succumbing to the power of the Morgul-knife which the Nazgul used to stab him in the shoulder. As a result, not only are the Nazgul becoming more real to him because they're trying to make him similar to themselves (they aren't entirely alive or dead but exist in a kind of shadow realm) but it's quite likely that Frodo is so ill that he can no longer focus on the world around him properly. My interpretation is that Frodo is experiencing something like a fever dream or a hallucinatory, psychedelic, and/or psychotic episode because of what the Nazgul have done to him.
@@onsesejoo2605 Yes, he did -- and he acknowledges at that point that he's almost entirely succumbed to the control and power of the Ring (which is why, at the last, he can't throw it into the fire with the result that Gollum has to fight him for it and bite Frodo's finger off in order to get it -- the Ring ends up being destroyed by accident even though it's trying to keep itself from being destroyed because in a sense, it has a mind of its own). The reason why Frodo can't remember anything about his past at that point is because when a mortal holds the Ring (the prime example being Gollum), it demands so much from its owner that it eventually consumes him. This could in part explain how and why Orcs managed to kill Isildur shortly after he took the Ring from Sauron -- he wasn't paying as much attention as he ordinarily would have because the Ring was already having an effect on him. Tolkien also obliquely implies that the Ring's level of influence over mortals depends to some degree on their personality and/or temperament -- in comparison with Gollum and Isildur (and even, to a lesser degree, Bilbo) Frodo is largely unaffected by the Ring until he begins to come closer to Mordor. One plausible reason for this is because Frodo is such an honorable and unassuming character. Gandalf for all his benevolence and wisdom is in Middle-Earth to influence events (and he admits that this would make him more vulnerable to its power -- and Galadriel is also susceptible to it since according to Tolkien, her presence in Middle-Earth is partially a punishment for the fact that her family rebelled against the Valar (suggesting a certain level of arrogance).
I always Found them quite creepy with thier headdresses crowns being revealed they whear brown coats in this one But I think the peterjackson ones all black coats were scarier. However both freaked me out when I was younger . These guys earlier in the film before they revealed thier faces did seem to be on crack and ....slightly cripple lol However, it Makes sense since souron turned them into shells of thier former Kingly human selves .
@@harpseal9234 You still see them in their true forms, briefly, in the Peter Jackson films when Frodo puts the Ring on shortly before getting stabbed. They are withered husks of what they once were.
I dig this depiction of the Nazgûl, the green light reflecting off of their wonky helmets, each one with a unique design. Not enough details to really see them, but their ominous silhouettes are enough. Bakshi was a wild individual and I’m glad he made as many films as he did.
(Bakshi's version) *Frodo faces one ringwraith, getting stabbed by a Morgul blade, and then tells off all nine ringwraiths at the river* (Jackson version) *Frodo drops his sword and falls backwards*
Well, Froso was half dead at that point of the book, i think Jackson got it better but Baksi was closer to the book, but yes, Elijah was a more passive Frodo
Quite honestly, I find the Nazgül a lot eerier in this cartoon, mostly due to their eerie-greenish appearance I used to watch this in german, I remember their voices being a lot deeper then
I remember watching this film whilst tripping my nuts of with my mates and we all found this scene hysterical because it seemed to last forever. The whole experience was legitimately incredible
@@bloodyninen7 There's a few minutes before this video begins when the Witch King appears and he's having trouble keeping his horse under control and he uses a Force Choke on Frodo's horse in slow-mo and other stuff like that. Really trippy. Watching this as a kid, it all dragged on and on and on, so I can relate to what OP was talking about
As many said before me Frodo in this adaptation HAS character and guts. For me personally PJ trilogy isn''t a saint cow. Yes, it IS gorgeous, brilliant, no doubts about it, but Bakshi adaptation still has something unique in it. It is creepy, daring, nightmarish at times and overall doesn't pander to anyone. It just has STYLE. A masterpiece in its own special way. Brilliant Frodo, yet again.
The Peter Jackson films are superior in almost every way but I will say this: This film's version of Frodo is a million times better than the one in the Jackson movies. And I say that with no disrespect to Elijah Wood.
Carlisle the Cinephile I Commented something very similar on one of the other clips on youtube before I saw your comment. This is how I always imagined Frodo.
Even tho this is old. I like both versions. Especially when the ringwraiths show themselves to Frodo instead of cloaked figures. They show the helmets and red eyes
@@tanzolo4487 The Entire Bakshi version of LOTR is FAR tighter to the books than Jackson's film. While I Love Jackson's "Middle Earth" I hate that he chose to destroy the characters and plot.
They look just creepy. If only the nazguls in Peter Jackson had actually shown us what they look underneath those hoods (like the helmets representing the different Kings of men) Gondor, Rohan, Easterlings, Haradrim, etc. You know?
This one is almost word for word identical to the scene in the books. A couple minor changes in the dialog but otherwise very close to the source. PJ's version had significant changes (like the inclusion of Arwen)
This Frodo reflects the book's Frodo a lot better than the Peter Jackson's. This show a brave Frodo, Elijah Woods Frodo just suffer too much and aside from that is a bland character.
This film is Far superior to Jackson's by the simple virtue of holding to the letter of Tolkien's written word far better than Jackson's plot and character destruction.
Bakshi's Nazgul are way better than Jackson's. Their true formers selves are never shown, only shadowy sillouettes of their shapes. Same with Sauron.way scarier because he's never seen. It lets the imagination go crazy, and that's definitely a plus.
Agree. I was disappointed when the nazgûls still had their robes/cloaks during the war in the live action movies, since they only had those as disguise during the hunt for the ring.
Here's another one for you: There was a live action Dr Seuss movie from 1953 called 'The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T". I found out it existed by waking up after having left the TV on one night and just seeing... that. For thirty minutes I was convinced I was having some sort of insane dream.
Not many people talk about it, but I think Bakshis version of the Nazgul was the most terrifying, they look so out of place, so unnerving, their movements, their shading. I don't think PJ could've matched this amount of terror put into Nazgul with live action alone.
Definitely the scariest version of the Nazgûl so far. The Jackson versions are great too, the cloaks and the shriek are iconic. They are less scary than the Bakshi version though.
I saw this exact scene when I was 3 and it was all I knew of the story before reading the book. Honestly this movie is superb, especially in the creepiest part. The movie trilogy is very beautiful but it does not have the same atmosphere to me.
I'm unclear why Peter Jackson made Frodo into such a passive wimp. In the books and in Bakshi's film Frodo gets more courageous and brave as they go along. Elijah Wood just sits there like a log while others lead him along from one adventure to another. I'll never understand the decision to do that.
Did you know that Tolkien had a secret book series, written under pen name Adam Medvidović ? These books were inspired with his Catholicism, for he was a devour Catholic, but in this books he was writing for grown up people, and he used great foreknowlegde of coming events, and this books are truly prophetic.

LOL! The whole Movie Was better than Jackson's merely by virtue of Bakshi's Loyalty to Tolkien's written word. This Remains the only version true to Tolkien intent for his world.
Scenes like this Peter Jackson totally cut out of his version, moments that show you who these characters really are at their core. Not having Gandalf face the witch King at the gate of the White City another example of poor adaptation, for Aragorn and Gandalf's verbal exchange with the mouth of Sauron as it originally happened in the book. Tolkien knew what a man of character, a man of wisdom, and the man who rightfully assumed authority looked like, especially one who understood the weight of his lineage and and the duties of lay upon his shoulder, namely Aragorn. Jackson, and his writing team totally did not understand these things.
The animation on the horse wave is amazing, sure Bakshi wanted his rotoscope style but I wonder how the movie would have looked if they just animated it in the normal way, sure still use rotoscope but not to that extent.
"Come back! Come back! To Mordor we will take you!" "Hey Khamul? How do you think that helps? Like, at all?" "Oh, dang! You're right. Um, what I meant to say was, to Cracker Barrel we will take you! Like, for pancakes and stuff!"
You attempt to ford the river. The river is too deep to ford.

That has nothing to do with how faithful either is to the book. You could make a big budget Broadway play in 2132 or a low budget children's graphic novel in 1983 and either will be as close to the source material as their respective creatives want it, it's just a matter of narrative imagination.
@@TFIta369 Errm sadly. it does. Ask anyone who has only seen the movie who saves Frodo at the Ford and they will say "Oh Arwen did!". Then show them the book. As for "narrative imagination"... Lol. We should be glad Arwen didn't fly off with Frodo in an F-16 before swooping around and blitzing the Ringwraiths in a fiery napalm drop... Cartoon got it wrong but it doesn't have to justify paying a huge salary to an actress whose sole acting talent is to cry on cue. Apart from that "skill" she's so wooden she could have played an Ent. If you're going to make a movie based on a book at least try and stay faithful to a considerable portion of the book. When you leave out the only being on Middle Earth entirely impervious to the Ring... Well. You may as well make a Batman movie and use "narrative creation" to have everyone figure out who Batman is within the first 4 seconds because he runs around without his cowl. Just imagine the shrieks of horror if that were to happen.
"Go back to the land of Mordor, and follow me no more!" shouted Frodo, waving a fist in warning. The Ringwraiths paused. "Well, shit... okay. Let's go, guys. Didn't come here to get threatened, wait til Sauron hears about this" Sauron: "What the fuck are you guys doing back here?!" Ringwraiths: "Frodo told us to stop following him" Sauron: "Shit, we didn't think of that..."
Nazgul: “Come back, come back, to Mordor we will take you.” Frodo: “Oh Mordor? Oh shit, I thought you wanted to take me to Harad alright I’m on my way!”
It's Frodo's last defense when he is succumbing to the ring's power -- it's all he can do at that point. The dialogue and idea are totally in line with the book.
But remember Gandalf's words to Frodo in Rivendell, referring back to the Ford: "You were beginning to fade . . . The wound was overcoming you at last. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid." Frodo had enough strength to resist, but he was still weak.
I think in the book Frodo invokes the name of Elborath which does hurt the Ringwraith's to an extent , but the Witchking strikes him mute with his magic much like he does in this scene .
The Ring was with Frodo though he lacked the power to wield it, the wraiths DID waiver for a second because of the power of the ring. This Entire movie is superior to Jackson's films simply because of Bakshi's Loyalty to Tolkien's intent for his world.
I kinda prefer this Frodo, he tried to properly duel the Witch-King AND pulled his sword on them and told them off after getting stabbed by the Morgul blade. Nothing against Jackson's trilogy, this one just struck a chord with me.
I know this might sound strange, but I think I would like this version better if it had more of the creepy rotoscope animation and less of the weirdly animated faces. And some better voice acting.
I remember when waiting for the Jackson trilogy to come out. One of my big concerns was the Nazgûl. What would they look like. I figured if they were even close to this then it would be good.
This Entire movie is superior to Jackson's films, merely by Bakshi's Loyalty to the letter of Tolkien's written word. The characters and plot are 100% Tolkien as opposed to Jackson's addition of absolute Tripe. Jackson claimed that he didn't have time to put in many parts of the books and yet he did find time to add over an hour and a half of absolute Garbage that doesn't belong! And managed to destroy The characters along the way! This animated Bakshi version, Remains the only version that is true to Tolkien's intent.
@@SosaL432 Yeah, Jackson copied a LOT from This one. This is absolutely my favorite version. Jackson had the amazing Visual experience but Bakshi had Tolkien's characters and plot Nailed! Jackson destroyed those 2 major elements. (Character and plot)
Whoa, listen here you edgy shit. In the books, Glorfindel took Frodo to the Ford, but he had to leave the horse to fight the Nazgûl. So Peter made the stretch to have Arwen go with him, all the way to the Ford, replacing Glorfindel. In the books, Frodo wasn’t as weak as he is in Peter’s movies, meaning he could still ride a horse
So, the elf Glorfindel is the one who arrives to assist them with the escape in the books, and Frodo rode off solo, reluctantly. Peter Jackson wanted to expand Arywen's role in the overall plot and not only replaced Glorfindel in this sequence but is the one who actually rode the horse and called the "calvary of waves." Elrond is the one who commanded the flood and Gandalf added the touch of the horses.
The horses, each carrying a rider, were doing all the running. Wee little man with basic clothing and no luggage, compared to nine heavily armored and much larger guys all carrying several weapons.
@@izarian42 oh right, plus they rode halfway across Middle-Earth to get him. still, if he's barely conscious he still needed to keep the horse in check so it wouldn't throw him off, stop running or run the wrong way
@@blueshit199 That was Asfaloth, Glorfindel's horse. And as Glorfindel said in the books, "My horse will not let any rider fall that I command him to bear. His pace is light and smooth; and if danger presses too near, he will bear you away with a speed that even the black steeds of the enemy cannot rival."
I like the live action version of Lord of the Rings more in every way, except how much braver Frodo is in these. Plus the Nazgûl are too creepy in this. 1:35 and 3:00
Me! I flushed all the toilets in Rivendell and backed up the sewers, causing them to flood! No, but in all honesty, it was an elf called Glorfindel who helped Frodo escape the Nine to Rivendell.
"Come back, to Mordor we will take you" something about that line sends shivers down my spine, so creepy.

Really like the artstyle for the nazgul.
It not only stands out from the style used for frodo, but it also looks weird in a good way, looks unsettling and quite scary, and that fits the nazgul pretty well
I haven’t seen this version since I was a kid. I forgot how great the artstyle was.
Ralph Bakshi is a genius animator and director.
I think the "wraith world" scenes are the most effective, because they were an appropriate place for Ralphie boy to do his dark-surreal stuff.
The nazgul look great
psychedelic aint it.
I believe this scene is an excellent interpretation of the scene in the book, FOTR. Frodo being affected by the poisoned blade; everything here looks and sounds trance-like.
I don't mind Arwen replacing Glorfindel. But I do wish we had this moment of Frodo taunting the Nazgul in live action too. The movies did take a lot from Frodo's character. He is way braver and more active in the books.
Agreed. I enjoyed Elijah Wood's performance as Frodo, but there is no denying his film couterpart was dimminshed in many ways from Tolkien's original.
I agree. I really had no complaints about Arwen being there, but I wished Frodo got to have his defiance.
The PJ movies suck for many reasons; the way they portray Frodo is one of the most significant ones.

Since you are so set on lecturing, here is one for you : next time when someone doesn't agree, don't act like it and try to belittle and personally attack someone.
You are a fantastic internet troll tho, i'll give you that. Have a nice day.
And btw, Wikipedia is media. The animated movies are media. So you are contradicting yourself.
This thread was a nice read, y’all. Tension, drama, facts, loved every bit.
There's something creepy about how calm those Nazgul stayed whilst being overtaken by a wave of river horses. Their own horses drowned but they simply...stayed put.
Because they knew they wouldn’t die like their horses, which makes it that much more ominous
I love how this movie invites you to read the book.
Because this movie actually respects the book.
Come back. Come back. To mordor we will take you.
Come back. Come back
come back, to mordor we will take you!
He's speaking to the One Ring and not to Frodo or not? Very creepy Detail!
@@tumper96 he's speaking to frodo as well because along with the fact that sauron wanted the one ring, he also wanted frodo to be his servant and a wraith, as a punishment for taking his ring.
You shall not pass 😂
"they taking the hobbits to Mordor... I mean Isengard!"
XD.
That line, like most lines in this version,
Is straight from the books.
This version was all I had for a couple of decades (I managed to record it on VHS when it was shown on tv one time) until Peter Jackson worked his magic. Have to agree with a number of other comments here that (despite the Peter Jackson Trilogy being a dream come true), this particular scene is superior to the jackson version (and in my head, a damn near perfect interpretation of what occurred in the book). The biggest shame with the Ralph Bakshi interpretation is the fact that they only covered the first half of the story (finishing at Helms Deep), but they certainly did a number of things very well. The nazgul and orcs were done with a combination of animation on top of live filming of actors with crude masks on - it was really effective in conveying a sense of menace (but probably a painstaking process). I also thought that the animation, mannerisms and voice acting for Smeagol/Gollum was superb - but Andy Serkis was on another level with his version (seriously, he should've got every award there is for that role). A few of the other characters didn't quite sit right for me in the animation - Aragorn and Boromir for example, but it was still a fantastic adaptation.
its a shame these guys didnt get to make the second movie
I think that everytime I see this movie. Was a big part of my childhood
@The Anthropologist _Forensic EXACTLY, I love the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and don't get me wrong, the other animated movies about this trilogy were good, but this one hits differently than all of them, and to not have been able to seen the rest in this adaptation and to know that it'll never happen is just sad.
@The Anthropologist _Forensic that would be amazing, I would loved to see an attempt atleast to finish it
At least we got Rankin/Bass' Return of the King.
@@Bauglir100
RANKIN BASS?!?! LOL!
🤢🤢🤢🤮
Just as information for those who have only seen the Jackson movies, and not read the books: This version is WAY more like the book than the Jackson film. Frodo crosses the river alone in the books, there is no Arwen. And it is he fights off the Nazgul with his last will, not Arwen.
No, Glorfindel, Aragorn and Hobbits come down with 🔥 brands and drive them into the river as Elrond and Gandalfs magic takes them out with the water.
@Reed Miller Gandalf says something in the 1978 version similar to "That was Elronds river who took out the ringwraiths, if I may say so, I added a few touches of my own, the white horses and so on" (Based on memory)
He doesn't control the horse though since he is dying.
Prefer this scene to the Jackson equivalent, because Frodo actually defends himself, despite his grievous injury. Much more heroic and indicative of his willpower. In the Jackson movies, although overall superior to the Bakshi version, they made Frodo too weak and robbed him of the strength that he had in the books.
Definitely agree there. I also prefer the fact that Frodo stands up to the Black Riders when they arrive at Weathertop in this film instead of just dropping his sword and falling on his ass like in the Peter Jackson films. And unlike the book, Frodo wasn't even equipped with a barrow-blade in this movie, just a regular dagger that Aragorn gave him.
I think that here Frodo is too much alive and brave, i just think that after being half dead for a week or so he qas doing a lot of effort to not piss himself in the horse, not because the Nazgul were therw, just because he was sick af
This is how it was in the book.
@@MiguelSanchezDelVillar this is how it was in the book though.
@@bostontowny4life744 I know, and it's better that way.
Here the wraiths have been illustrated into an empty world. I wonder if Bakshi took the idea from the words Frodo speaks describing how he felt no taste, did not smell the grass, Hobbiton being a distant image and saw the wheel all the time without any veil. Jackson left the red / flaming eyes away from the wraiths and especially the Witch King during the moments of hatred.
Sounds like symptoms of covid.
Well, Frodo at that point is close to succumbing to the power of the Morgul-knife which the Nazgul used to stab him in the shoulder. As a result, not only are the Nazgul becoming more real to him because they're trying to make him similar to themselves (they aren't entirely alive or dead but exist in a kind of shadow realm) but it's quite likely that Frodo is so ill that he can no longer focus on the world around him properly. My interpretation is that Frodo is experiencing something like a fever dream or a hallucinatory, psychedelic, and/or psychotic episode because of what the Nazgul have done to him.
@@OreadNYC I seem to remember he spoke those words when they were in Mordor, bit before the last effort to climb to the The Mount Doom.
@@onsesejoo2605 Yes, he did -- and he acknowledges at that point that he's almost entirely succumbed to the control and power of the Ring (which is why, at the last, he can't throw it into the fire with the result that Gollum has to fight him for it and bite Frodo's finger off in order to get it -- the Ring ends up being destroyed by accident even though it's trying to keep itself from being destroyed because in a sense, it has a mind of its own). The reason why Frodo can't remember anything about his past at that point is because when a mortal holds the Ring (the prime example being Gollum), it demands so much from its owner that it eventually consumes him. This could in part explain how and why Orcs managed to kill Isildur shortly after he took the Ring from Sauron -- he wasn't paying as much attention as he ordinarily would have because the Ring was already having an effect on him. Tolkien also obliquely implies that the Ring's level of influence over mortals depends to some degree on their personality and/or temperament -- in comparison with Gollum and Isildur (and even, to a lesser degree, Bilbo) Frodo is largely unaffected by the Ring until he begins to come closer to Mordor. One plausible reason for this is because Frodo is such an honorable and unassuming character. Gandalf for all his benevolence and wisdom is in Middle-Earth to influence events (and he admits that this would make him more vulnerable to its power -- and Galadriel is also susceptible to it since according to Tolkien, her presence in Middle-Earth is partially a punishment for the fact that her family rebelled against the Valar (suggesting a certain level of arrogance).
Other ringwraiths just don't reach this eldritch horror level.
I always Found them quite creepy with thier headdresses crowns being revealed they whear brown coats in this one
But I think the peterjackson ones all black coats were scarier.
However both freaked me out when I was younger .
These guys earlier in the film before they revealed thier faces did seem to be on crack and ....slightly cripple lol
However, it
Makes sense since souron turned them into shells of thier former
Kingly human selves .
@@harpseal9234 You still see them in their true forms, briefly, in the Peter Jackson films when Frodo puts the Ring on shortly before getting stabbed. They are withered husks of what they once were.
I dig this depiction of the Nazgûl, the green light reflecting off of their wonky helmets, each one with a unique design. Not enough details to really see them, but their ominous silhouettes are enough. Bakshi was a wild individual and I’m glad he made as many films as he did.
This version of Frodo seems more heroic than Elijah Woods Frodo
Absolutely
Oh, I agree 100%
One of the things this movie got better than Peter Jackson's films.
(Bakshi's version)
*Frodo faces one ringwraith, getting stabbed by a Morgul blade, and then tells off all nine ringwraiths at the river*
(Jackson version)
*Frodo drops his sword and falls backwards*
Well, Froso was half dead at that point of the book, i think Jackson got it better but Baksi was closer to the book, but yes, Elijah was a more passive Frodo
Quite honestly, I find the Nazgül a lot eerier in this cartoon, mostly due to their eerie-greenish appearance
I used to watch this in german, I remember their voices being a lot deeper then
Komm zurück zu uns... Komm züruck nach Mordor...
@@blackzaiken3094 Ja, so ungefähr
The glowing red eyes are also super effective. I almost wish the Peter Jackson Nazgûl had similar glowing red eyes.
I remember watching this film whilst tripping my nuts of with my mates and we all found this scene hysterical because it seemed to last forever. The whole experience was legitimately incredible
@@bloodyninen7 There's a few minutes before this video begins when the Witch King appears and he's having trouble keeping his horse under control and he uses a Force Choke on Frodo's horse in slow-mo and other stuff like that. Really trippy. Watching this as a kid, it all dragged on and on and on, so I can relate to what OP was talking about
Bruh this scene feels like an eternity
Dude weed lmao
anyone know who just said 'Go Back!' at the beginning.
it seems like eternity... particularly if you are stoned...!
This is my favorite Frodo.
As many said before me Frodo in this adaptation HAS character and guts. For me personally PJ trilogy isn''t a saint cow. Yes, it IS gorgeous, brilliant, no doubts about it, but Bakshi adaptation still has something unique in it. It is creepy, daring, nightmarish at times and overall doesn't pander to anyone. It just has STYLE. A masterpiece in its own special way. Brilliant Frodo, yet again.
wonderful voice acting just got these and the books for christmas too I'dve helped revive Frodo like his uncle Bilbo if it was me
The Peter Jackson films are superior in almost every way but I will say this: This film's version of Frodo is a million times better than the one in the Jackson movies. And I say that with no disrespect to Elijah Wood.
Carlisle the Cinephile I Commented something very similar on one of the other clips on youtube before I saw your comment. This is how I always imagined Frodo.
I love his design too ✨
Even tho this is old. I like both versions.
Especially when the ringwraiths show themselves to Frodo instead of cloaked figures. They show the helmets and red eyes
Couldn't possibly agree more.
@@tanzolo4487
The Entire Bakshi version of LOTR is FAR tighter to the books than Jackson's film.
While I Love Jackson's
"Middle Earth" I hate that he chose to destroy the characters and plot.
"The Ring! The Riiing!" Sends shiver down my spine...
I would rather be chased by the Peter Jackson ringwraiths rather than these..😰... by a longshot
Ah no, they are all on LSD and that's why things look so insane. There is no scare factor here.
They look just creepy. If only the nazguls in Peter Jackson had actually shown us what they look underneath those hoods (like the helmets representing the different Kings of men)
Gondor, Rohan, Easterlings, Haradrim, etc. You know?
Frodo's voice was the actor, Christopher Guard, who played Marcellus in the first episode of, "I. Claudius", and John Hurt was Aragorn.
Who incidently played Caligula in "I, Claudius".
Run you fool! Run!
So chilling.
i love frodo and beautiful white horse
I love, how Peter Jackson paid homage to this version of ringwraiths in "The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies"
He did?
@@janoschjobstmann4588 Yeah, the technique he used to portray the ringwraiths as well as their designs
2:12. "Damnit Brian, why didn't you just do that earlier?"
Hahahaha xD
lmao
I prefer the way Bakshi handled this scene to how Jackson did.
This one is almost word for word identical to the scene in the books. A couple minor changes in the dialog but otherwise very close to the source. PJ's version had significant changes (like the inclusion of Arwen)
This Frodo reflects the book's Frodo a lot better than the Peter Jackson's. This show a brave Frodo, Elijah Woods Frodo just suffer too much and aside from that is a bland character.
This film is Far superior to Jackson's by the simple virtue of holding to the letter of Tolkien's written word far better than Jackson's plot and character destruction.
thank you.. i miss this so much
This movie was closer to the books than PJ’s in many ways.
Because Bakshi was actually interested in following the book.
A looooot
*No horses was hurt during this animation
Bakshi's Nazgul are way better than Jackson's. Their true formers selves are never shown, only shadowy sillouettes of their shapes. Same with Sauron.way scarier because he's never seen. It lets the imagination go crazy, and that's definitely a plus.
Agree. I was disappointed when the nazgûls still had their robes/cloaks during the war in the live action movies, since they only had those as disguise during the hunt for the ring.
This is the single best scene of the best movie to watch while high ever.
Here's another one for you: There was a live action Dr Seuss movie from 1953 called 'The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T".
I found out it existed by waking up after having left the TV on one night and just seeing... that. For thirty minutes I was convinced I was having some sort of insane dream.
Loved this scene! Really liked Frodo in this movie
frodo was brave enough by himself he didn't need arwen in this movie
It was glorfindel actually
@@osergergfd2501
And Glorfindel did put Frodo on his horse and frodo made the run by himself! (In the books)
They have to put live tyler anyway possible 🙄
Not many people talk about it, but I think Bakshis version of the Nazgul was the most terrifying, they look so out of place, so unnerving, their movements, their shading. I don't think PJ could've matched this amount of terror put into Nazgul with live action alone.
Definitely the scariest version of the Nazgûl so far. The Jackson versions are great too, the cloaks and the shriek are iconic. They are less scary than the Bakshi version though.
1:47 is that the witch king?
Yes it is. :)
Witch King vs Lich King aka King Arthas. It will be some battle of Lord of the Rings vs WOW.
I saw this exact scene when I was 3 and it was all I knew of the story before reading the book. Honestly this movie is superb, especially in the creepiest part. The movie trilogy is very beautiful but it does not have the same atmosphere to me.
The 70’s. Just a decade long acid trip.
Lol
Lmao
I'm unclear why Peter Jackson made Frodo into such a passive wimp. In the books and in Bakshi's film Frodo gets more courageous and brave as they go along. Elijah Wood just sits there like a log while others lead him along from one adventure to another. I'll never understand the decision to do that.
Did you know that Tolkien had a secret book series, written under pen name Adam Medvidović ? These books were inspired with his Catholicism, for he was a devour Catholic, but in this books he was writing for grown up people, and he used great foreknowlegde of coming events, and this books are truly prophetic. He never published them, but after this attack on Ukraine his nephews secretly released the first book of the four books. The first book has a name "Night in Zagreb" under pen name Adam Medvidović. First I didnt believe this info, but then I read the book and thats Tolkien. And its clear why he never published them. He is using some strong words there and dark is the atmosphere. Those are not books for children, for Lord of the Rings were actually for his children. You probably heard of this already and im interested what is your opinion. Is this Tolkien? And second thing - do you know where to get other three books from that series? I heard rumors that they are deleting those books cause they want to change the church, and the books were also warning on that (and apocalypse) so im not even sure how long that first book will be on amazon, if its not deleted already
Anyone else find it terrifying that these things are so chimes together ?
Huh?
This scene was much better than the Peter Jackson version.
(I am not saying the whole movie is better - just this scene.)
LOL! The whole Movie Was better than Jackson's merely by virtue of Bakshi's Loyalty to Tolkien's written word.
This Remains the only version true to Tolkien intent for his world.
01:40 Frodo's gesture was sooo old 1978 omg lol
Huh?
Scenes like this Peter Jackson totally cut out of his version, moments that show you who these characters really are at their core. Not having Gandalf face the witch King at the gate of the White City another example of poor adaptation, for Aragorn and Gandalf's verbal exchange with the mouth of Sauron as it originally happened in the book.
Tolkien knew what a man of character, a man of wisdom, and the man who rightfully assumed authority looked like, especially one who understood the weight of his lineage and and the duties of lay upon his shoulder, namely Aragorn. Jackson, and his writing team totally did not understand these things.
Jackson made such a mess of this, turning Frodo into a damsel in distress.
The animation on the horse wave is amazing, sure Bakshi wanted his rotoscope style but I wonder how the movie would have looked if they just animated it in the normal way, sure still use rotoscope but not to that extent.
The best scene in this film in my opinion.
Anyone else getting black cauldron vibes?
This movie was a much bigger success than ‘The Black Cauldron.’ Although all this movie had to do was earn at least $1.00 to say that.
This is way cooler than the Peter Jackson movie.

When a cartoon made in 1978 is more accurate to the source material than a movie made in 2001...
That has nothing to do with how faithful either is to the book. You could make a big budget Broadway play in 2132 or a low budget children's graphic novel in 1983 and either will be as close to the source material as their respective creatives want it, it's just a matter of narrative imagination.
@@TFIta369 Errm sadly. it does. Ask anyone who has only seen the movie who saves Frodo at the Ford and they will say "Oh Arwen did!". Then show them the book. As for "narrative imagination"... Lol. We should be glad Arwen didn't fly off with Frodo in an F-16 before swooping around and blitzing the Ringwraiths in a fiery napalm drop... Cartoon got it wrong but it doesn't have to justify paying a huge salary to an actress whose sole acting talent is to cry on cue. Apart from that "skill" she's so wooden she could have played an Ent.
If you're going to make a movie based on a book at least try and stay faithful to a considerable portion of the book. When you leave out the only being on Middle Earth entirely impervious to the Ring... Well. You may as well make a Batman movie and use "narrative creation" to have everyone figure out who Batman is within the first 4 seconds because he runs around without his cowl.
Just imagine the shrieks of horror if that were to happen.
to true I thought the live action ones were a bit darker still it was another way to introduce me to the sequels of the Hobbit
1:40 A true inspiring speech of a politician
"Go back to the land of Mordor, and follow me no more!" shouted Frodo, waving a fist in warning.
The Ringwraiths paused. "Well, shit... okay. Let's go, guys. Didn't come here to get threatened, wait til Sauron hears about this"
Sauron: "What the fuck are you guys doing back here?!"
Ringwraiths: "Frodo told us to stop following him"
Sauron: "Shit, we didn't think of that..."
Lol
I think the lord of the rings should be redone as a TV series with frodo this brave, tom bombadil and the scourging of the shire
Amazon is currently making a lotr series based on the second age
That would be amazing. Make every chapter a hour to hour-and-a-half episodes.

Go back. Scared me. Still scary. Better than the film on this scene
No Glorfindel??
They change it to legolas for this film and arwen in the Jackson version
Yeah he was double shafted
@Bryson Reins He was cut from both films because he's a one-and-done character who adds nothing
Did Frodo really think the riders would turn around and leave him be when he said to go back? 😂
It's Frodo's last defense when he is succumbing to the ring's power -- it's all he can do at that point. The dialogue and idea are totally in line with the book.
But remember Gandalf's words to Frodo in Rivendell, referring back to the Ford: "You were beginning to fade . . . The wound was overcoming you at last. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid." Frodo had enough strength to resist, but he was still weak.
I think in the book Frodo invokes the name of Elborath which does hurt the Ringwraith's to an extent , but the Witchking strikes him mute with his magic much like he does in this scene .
The Ring was with Frodo though he lacked the power to wield it, the wraiths DID waiver for a second because of the power of the ring.
This Entire movie is superior to Jackson's films simply because of Bakshi's Loyalty to Tolkien's intent for his world.
Glorfindel looks different than I expected.
the animation style is great. the actual animation far less so.
Because it was done in rotoscope, the old equivalent of doing motion capture in grand CG environments today.
Wenn ich mich recht erinnere ist im Film von 2002 ,arwen die reitet weil frodo im Sterben liegt ?
I kinda prefer this Frodo, he tried to properly duel the Witch-King AND pulled his sword on them and told them off after getting stabbed by the Morgul blade. Nothing against Jackson's trilogy, this one just struck a chord with me.
I know this might sound strange, but I think I would like this version better if it had more of the creepy rotoscope animation and less of the weirdly animated faces. And some better voice acting.
Imagine this with the CGI used by Peter Jackson, this would be SOOOO scary.
I remember when waiting for the Jackson trilogy to come out. One of my big concerns was the Nazgûl. What would they look like. I figured if they were even close to this then it would be good.
Why does Frodo sometimes looks brunette and sometimes redhead?🤨
Not a again! Where is the f**ing Glorfindel?
Frodo failed his Will saving throw.
That was EXACTLY my thought
I guess I played too much DnD based rpgs
Who was yelling at frodo in the beginning?
Even rho its a kids film, imo the nazgul look alot more accurate in this version of the film than peter jacksons version.
This Entire movie is superior to Jackson's films, merely by Bakshi's Loyalty to the letter of Tolkien's written word. The characters and plot are 100% Tolkien as opposed to Jackson's addition of absolute Tripe.
Jackson claimed that he didn't have time to put in many parts of the books and yet he did find time to add over an hour and a half of absolute Garbage that doesn't belong! And managed to destroy The characters along the way!
This animated Bakshi version, Remains the only version that is true to Tolkien's intent.

Yeah, Jackson copied a LOT from This one.
This is absolutely my favorite version.
Jackson had the amazing Visual experience but Bakshi had Tolkien's characters and plot Nailed!
Jackson destroyed those 2 major elements.
(Character and plot)
wow ! So there is no Arwen in this version ?
Whoa, listen here you edgy shit. In the books, Glorfindel took Frodo to the Ford, but he had to leave the horse to fight the Nazgûl. So Peter made the stretch to have Arwen go with him, all the way to the Ford, replacing Glorfindel. In the books, Frodo wasn’t as weak as he is in Peter’s movies, meaning he could still ride a horse
So, the elf Glorfindel is the one who arrives to assist them with the escape in the books, and Frodo rode off solo, reluctantly. Peter Jackson wanted to expand Arywen's role in the overall plot and not only replaced Glorfindel in this sequence but is the one who actually rode the horse and called the "calvary of waves." Elrond is the one who commanded the flood and Gandalf added the touch of the horses.
i liked Peter Jackson’s version better..
Bakshi replaced Glorfindel with Legolas. Jackson on the other hand left Elladan and Elrohir out, putting some parts of their character into Legolas.
Thankfully no Arwen
how was Frodo able to outrun them by himself with a stab wound?
The horses, each carrying a rider, were doing all the running. Wee little man with basic clothing and no luggage, compared to nine heavily armored and much larger guys all carrying several weapons.
@@izarian42 oh right, plus they rode halfway across Middle-Earth to get him. still, if he's barely conscious he still needed to keep the horse in check so it wouldn't throw him off, stop running or run the wrong way
