(One where I later worked, but that's another story entirely.) Whiz bang film. Clearly I need to watch Wizards, as Bakshi was brilliant. (Yes, his version of LoTR was MUCH better than the more recent one. Not the book, mind, but a decent little film.) I clearly need to watch the South Park episode referenced.

It's OK, but not something I'd rush to watch again.<br /><br />Wizards - I only heard of it when a friend posted on Facebook that he had been reliving his youth watching it whilst his wife and kids were out. Just like you, I can't fathom how I'd missed it! I watched all sorts of films from different genres/countries/media as a kid; I just missed it!?! It's now on my youtube list to watch if I ever get time.<br /><br />Great write up Col. Brought back memories of misspent youth in darken rooms! ;Pantipixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640762728933252342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-51201600260357182042015-05-11T18:00:37.719+01:002015-05-11T18:00:37.719+01:00The Return of the King was made as a follow up to ...The Return of the King was made as a follow up to the animated version of the Hobbit but was by a different set of animators and had nothing to do with Bakshi.Whiskey Priesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15956327711660800903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-25798232581316862552015-05-11T15:56:22.954+01:002015-05-11T15:56:22.954+01:00They actually did make the second part to the film...They actually did make the second part to the film, only much later. It's not that great, but at least it for an ending. If you check the wiki about this movie it's quite interesting.<br /><br />If your keen to see some other classic animated movies from the 80's then you might like to see Gandahar, a French movie from 1988. Another is Les MaƮtres du temps aka The Masters of Time, thus ones' a Franco-Hungarian movie from 1982. I reckon their great!<br /><br />Cheers.<br />Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-268951710001203852015-05-11T14:04:33.699+01:002015-05-11T14:04:33.699+01:00God I love/loved the WWII Pacific sequence in Heav...God I love/loved the WWII Pacific sequence in Heavy Metal.<br />I've never seen or heard of Wizards either, but I recognise some of the stills.<br />Fire And Ice was a big one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879413617587155317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-64122573438244137492015-05-11T12:18:31.567+01:002015-05-11T12:18:31.567+01:00Went to see Heavy Metal at the time and thought it...Went to see Heavy Metal at the time and thought it was great (i've still got the poster somewhere) but never saw or heard of Wizards.
