Bakshi's LOTR worse than I remembered

Wrong-o. Lots of us find much to be admired in PJ's movies. We're
just not so loud as the ones who hate 'em.

Heh, I caught the tail end of _Wizards_ on TV and it did
strike me that it was similar to the ElfQuest style. I idly
thought it was because Pini copied Bakshi. Interesting that she
was integrally involved -- I hadn't noticed that.

One thing that I remember about Bakshi's LOTR that I liked
was the "(S)aruman of Many Colours" scene. Better than PJ's
Ultimate Breakdance Smackdown.
