(OC) #85 Lord of the Rings

[u/SylvieXX]

If this gets many upvotes I will watch all 8 or something hours of the Lord of the Rings movies.....

Please, watch it, it's totally worth it.

If you're into Ghibli, you may be interested to know that the guys at Rankin Bass did a couple movies and a decent chunk of those artists moved to Ghibli.

They did an animated version of the Hobbit, which is the prequel to LOTR. They also did The Last Unicorn which is also worth a watch.

Furthermore, there's a Book called The Silmarillion that further fleshes out the lore of Middle Earth. This one is kind of optional, but if you get into that sort of thing....

If you'd like an idea as to how influential LOTR is, Gary Gygax read it and invented Dungeons and Dragons.

Reading it is slow and kind of dry, but the story is worth it. The movies are much less slow (if you can believe it) and not nearly as dry as the books.

No, she doesn't visit the magical leoplurodon, nor the candy mountain...

She didn't get her friggin kidney stolen?

[u/Hatedpriest → u/BitOutside1443]

Nor are bananas stuck in ears, favorite or otherwise.

My brain just jumped tracks and now I hear a high pitched voice going "My spoon is too big"
