just watched return of the king 1980. much better than LOTR they went back to the hobbit art style though I did like a couple of the character designs in LOTR better.

LOTR was a entirely different company. There's a huge backstory around its production, IIRC the LOTR guys were surprised/angry when Hobbit and ROTK dropped. Productions started independently on Hobbit and LOTR with neither knowing about the other, the LOTR guys thought they had rights to Tolkien stuff when they actually just had American production rights or somesuch.
