Regardless of your prior viewing history, this is a deal you won't want to miss. The remastered deluxe edition of the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings is currently available on Amazon for just $5!

The Lord of the Rings: 1978 Animated Movie

$14.97 Now $5.00 (67% off) at Amazon

This 1978 adaptation uniquely blends traditional cel animation with rotoscoped live-action footage. This unusual approach even resulted in an unscripted moment—Aragorn's accidental tumble—which was cleverly incorporated into the animation. Such unexpected quirks add to the film's charm.

At $5, this remastered DVD is a steal. Even if you don't plan on watching it immediately, it's a fantastic collector's item to complement your other Lord of the Rings Blu-rays. For more incredible deals, check out Amazon's larger Presidents' Day sale.
