I have very nostalgic feelings for<br \/>\nRalph Bakshi\u2019s <i>The Lord of the Rings<\/i>.&nbsp; It reminds me of the Age of the Video Store<br \/>\n\u2013 that popcorn-scented archive of categorized racks of colorful, terrifying,<br \/>\nsometimes lurid shelves of potential thrills and wonder.&nbsp; In the Kid\u2019s Corner, amongst the<br \/>\npredominantly white clamshell cases featuring Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer\u2019s<br \/>\nApprentice and compilations of mainstream cartoons, were what I considered the<br \/>\n\u201cmore mature\u201d animated movies: titles like Rankin-Bass\u2019 <i>The Hobbit<\/i> and <i>The Last<br \/>\nUnicorn<\/i> or Don Bluth\u2019s <i>The Secret of<br \/>\nN.I.M.H.<\/i> These were cartoons that were thematically darker and<br \/>\nstylistically unique, and to my young mind, Ralph Bakshi\u2019s <i>The Lord of the Rings<\/i> was serious stuff.&nbsp; Despite its shortcomings, I still consider it an ambitious and<br \/>\ninspiring piece of art that honestly attempted to adapt a fantasy masterpiece that<br \/>\nhad previously been abandoned as unfilmable.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another passion of mine was<br \/>\ncollecting coloring books, often buying a particular book for a single<br \/>\nimage.&nbsp; I had a huge collection that,<br \/>\nsadly, was destroyed by renters.&nbsp; Over the<br \/>\nyears, I have gradually replaced some of my favorites and found new books that<br \/>\nI never knew existed.&nbsp; I recently ran<br \/>\nacross this <i>Lord of the Rings<\/i><br \/>\ncoloring book by Whitman and was excited to see Bakshi\u2019s vision in bold black<br \/>\nand white line drawings.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
