While Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy remains a landmark cinematic achievement, one issue with the film series was solved by an adaptation that preceded it by 20 years. In 1978, legendary animator Ralph Bakshi made a film adapting most of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and the following surge of popularity for the books led the BBC to produce LOTR as a radio play, a popular format at the time. Little did the BBC know that their 1981 production would remain one of the best adaptations of the books over 40 years later.
