	nIn our collaboration with Kaboom Animation Festival\, we present rarely-s

	tles to\nseldom-screened festival hits. Animation belongs on the big scree
	n and what\nbetter place to present it than at LAB111\, where Kaboom has i
	ts offices? So grab\na drink and come watch great animation with us!\n\nFo
	r many viewers\, Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings (1978) is remembered
	\nthrough worn VHS copies and is often overshadowed by Peter Jackson’s lat
	er\nblockbuster adaptation. Long criticized for its unfinished story and h
	eavy use\nof rotoscope animation\, the film nevertheless deserves renewed 
	appreciation.\nBakshi accomplished what filmmakers like Walt Disney\, John
	 Boorman\, and Stanley\nKubrick could not: bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s vast 
	and complex world to the big\nscreen. Its distinctive blend of live-action
	 reference and animation created a\nunique visual style that even influenc
