King Bass
Where to find Disney Read-Along book Tolkien "Return of the King" based on Rankin-Bass movie?
The Disney read-along books (remember, with the chimes to cue you to turn the page?) published a version of Tolkien's "Hobbit" in 1977 and "Return of the King" in 1980.
They were based on the Rankin-Bass movies released at the same time.
I have found the book and tape for the Hobbit, but it was difficult to discover the existence of the Return of the King book, and purchasing a copy seems impossible!
I've tried Ebay, online searches, collector sites, chat rooms, craigslist, kizoodle, and even free-cycle!
I would like to know where to buy this book...or even if it's possible!
The film has a 94% rating of positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Richard Corliss of Time named it as the best film of the year. The main criticism of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, was its running time, particularly the epilogue. Even rave reviews for the film commented on its length. Joel Siegel of Good Morning America said in his review for the movie (which he gave an 'A'): "If it didn't take forty-five minutes to end, it'd be my best picture of the year. As it is, it's just one of the great achievements in film history." There was also criticism regarding the Army of the Dead's appearance, rapidly ending the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.
In February 2004, a few months after release, the film was voted as #8 on Empire's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time, compiled from readers' top 10 lists. This forced the magazine to abandon its policy of films being older than 12 months to be eligible. In 2007, Total Film named The Return of the King the third best film of the past decade (Total Film's publication time), behind The Matrix and Fight Club.
