Film of the week

A previous post quoted Ralph Bashki...where I mentioned that some of the background cartoon work was done by Thomas Kincaide. It's a cult film and can be found here:

 

 he also made an early cartoon on Lord of the Rings (it was part one, and not a hit). Peter Beagle (author of the Last Unicorn) helped write the screenplay. And yes, it can now be found on Youtube (until the copyright cops find it).






He used a slow rotoscope technique to do the orcs etc. some of his techniques were pioneered by his cult film WIZARDS

 

part two of LOTR was never done by Baski because his first film wasn't a hit...so it ended up being made by the same cartoonists that made the original Hobbit LINK
