Oh, sorry about the spoiler! I always have trouble resisting as well. ;)
I've never seen the animated LOTR. Is it any good? I always pictured the hobbits way furrier than I've ever seen them depicted. The book versions I read didn't have any pictures of them, so I had no preconceived notions.
For the time it was amazing. "The film is notable for its extensive use of rotoscoping, a technique in which scenes are first shot in live-action, then traced onto animation cels. It uses a hybrid of traditional cel animation and rotoscoped live action footage.", that blew my mind as a kid.
No problem about the spoiler, my mouse gravitates towards grey boxes.
When you mentioned the rotoscoping technique I thought of Fire and Ice, which I have seen, and Ralph Bakshi did that also! Now I want to see his LOTR. I don't know how I missed it as a kid. :)

Fire and Ice and Wizards were a favourite as well. Going to have to hunt them down again and watch.
