| abstract | - NC: Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic. I remember it so you don't have to, and welcome to another edition of Old vs. New. NC: This is where I take something old and nostalgic and compare it to a recent remake. With that said, let's take a look at Lord of The Rings. NC (voiceover): Becoming the holy bible of geekdom, Lord of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien has revolutionized the style of fantasy and given a whole new respect to the genre. NC (voiceover): Many of us know about the Peter Jackson movies based on the books that came out between 2001 and 2003. NC: But there is another version that came out in the 70's that a lot of people don't know about. This was Ralph Bakshi's Lord of The Rings. NC (voiceover): While considered both a critical and box office disappointment, Bakshi's Lord of The Rings offered a very different take on the classic story, and has since then either been loved by fans or detested by them. But is it anything compared to the big budget extravaganza of the Jackson movies? NC: Now technically speaking, this is all opinion-based. But I have an online show, which automatically means that my opinion is better than yours. Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! So let's take a look at Ralph Bakshi and Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings! NC: Now seeing how the Ralph Bakshi film ends at the exact same point that the Peter Jackson film, The Two Towers, ends, I decided to include The Two Towers in this comparison as well as The Fellowship of the Ring. With that said, let's take a look at our main character, Frodo Baggins.
