The geniuses at Leningrad Television put out this masterpiece in 1991, a full ten years before Peter Jackson.
Cue up Gandalf’s eagle escape and elaboration at the Council of Elrond:
The above includes the entire first half of this 1 hr 50 minute extravaganza. More Fellowship of The Ring excitement here.
