Or a pirate version in two parts on Dailymotion (kind of French originally version of YouTube). I'm only assuming the Dailymotion one is pirate.
Never seen it and always wanted to. I thought the Animated 1st part of LOTR (ends at Helm's Deep?) I saw in 1979 in Cinema was good. I have the PAL DVD of it now.
I can play any region. There isn't a PAL version sold in Australia or somewhere else?
I found the Jackson LOTR OK, though last episode not so good and some gratuitous changes re: Aragon and Women.
The Jackson Hobbit maybe OK if you'd never read LOTR or the Hobbit. Too much changed and stretched. One or two movies better. However I think "The Wheel of Time" should have been 4 to 6 books, though I like epic and long series, so maybe I'm wrong about the Hobbit 3 part movie.
I liked the Studio Ghibi take on Wyne-Jones's Howl's Moving Castle, I've the book, so interesting there is a connection to the Animated Hobbit.

It's actually available on Amazon Prime Video in the US, $3 to rent, $7 to buy. It's on Apple TV as well for the same prices. An hour and 18 minutes long.
