In the book (and the Jackson film) of The Two Towers, the "fire of Isengard" that breaches the Deeping Wall is explosives.
It continued to be the longest animated film from a major American studio for 45 years until it would be surpassed by Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in 2023. On a more trivial note, this movie was a record-holder as the longest animated film in the history of Western cinema, clocking in at 2 hours and 13 minutes, for 34 years until it was surpassed by the independent film Consuming Spirits in 2012. If you pay attention, Peter Jackson borrowed some things from this movie for his series- particularly the famous shot of the hobbits hiding from the Ringwraith in the roots of a tree and the shot where a Hobbit has his very large feet propped up on a table during Bilbo's birthday speech. There's also a little bit of traditional animation that doesn't use rotoscoping, but it's one of those blink and you'll miss it moments in the film. The film mixes bits of rotoscoping and live-action footage. note Though, Jackson stated that he was a fan of the film - see below. Later, Rankin-Bass produced a version of The Return of the King, and Peter Jackson did his own take on the story. And while the film did well at the box office, grossing more than enough to break even (which was very rare for non-Disney animated feature films at the time) the rest of the second book and the third book was never completed by Bakshi. Due to Executive Meddling, the original title, The Lord of the Rings Part I, was tossed out, resulting in heavy disappointment from viewers who expected closure to the story. It was released in 1978 and meant to be three films, but was forced to be shortened to two, with the intention of finishing with the sequel. The Ralph Bakshi adaptation of The Lord of the Rings is a combination of the first book, and half of the second book.
