Back in the late '70s I saw a cartoon movie of The Hobbit on TV that I liked a lot at the time. About a year later, I saw The Lord of the Rings animated movie, which had better animation, but I still liked The Hobbit better.

The Hobbit was done by Rankin Bass in 1977, with songs by Glen Yarbrough. Rankin Bass also did Return of the King. It was a very childlike fanciful version.
Ralph Bakshi did Lord of the Rings in 1978. It was his most ambitious project, and it has been much maligned. He never completed the trilogy.
