I've seen it I'm afraid...

Read this it's funnier than the movie itself. 
Some quotes from the review:
Quote: 1. The Incidental Music.
When watching the film, the very first thing you get (along with the titles) is your first earful of the big, overblown, use-every-instrument-you-have-in-the-orchestra-or-else theme music. It continues unabated for for the next several hours. Many times Tolkien has written of the subtlety, grace, and magic of music and song; why, then, does composer/conductor Leonard Rosenman insist upon starting the movie with this symphonic Assault upon Dunkirk? A look at his other achievements tells us he's capable of better... Quote: 7. The Ring-inscription.
In Bag End, Gandalf asks Frodo if he sees any inscription on the Ring. Finding none, they throw it into the fire. After a moment. Gandalf pulls the Ring back out of the fire. Frodo comments with surprise that it is still quite cool. But they never bother to look for the Ring-inscription, which makes the whole business of throwing the Ring into the fire kind of pointless. Quote: 11. Saruman's Voice.
It's their business, I suppose, if they want to cut everything referring to Saruman's melodic and persuasive voice; but did they have to make him sound like a gecko with a sore throat? Quote: 18. How To Recognize An Elf.
- Sappy pseudo-cheerful woodland Elf-music plays whenever they appear.
- They have eyes like Bambi.
- They're all exposed three F-stops too bright. Quote: 48. The Blasting-Fire.
It's not enough to have explosives used at Helm's Deep, as in the book. Oh no! That's not nearly dramatic enough... so the explosives are now magical ball-lightning, hurled all the way from Isengard some eighty miles away. The filmmakers just don't seem to feel Tolkien's work is interesting enough to stand on its own... so they glitz it up.
Unfortunately, this sort of ignorant tampering makes the movie less interesting.

The orchestra now begins playing Christmas music as Gandalf rides Shadowfax through the Orcs, slaying at will. He begins killing them in hideous detail, and in gruesome slow motion at that. Two Orcs fall dead over the camera, the backs of their heads spraying blood. What the hell! Since they've already gone this far, they may as well make Lord of the Rings into a slasher flick too! Why not just give Gandalf a chainsaw and be done with it? [/img]

^^ LOL!! That was hilarious!
I've seen little parts of it, but never the whole thing all together. I've seen most of the Hobbit, though. Strangely, Legolas looks human when his father looks more like a toad.

Watched bits of it again and I most say the animators seemed to care very little about consistency.
For example:
Gimli sometimes have a cap and sometimes he don't.
He is also sometimes as large as Legolas and Aragorn and sometimes like he should be.
Legolas bow shifts from time to time between a regular long bow and a more artistic bow.
Also Legolas looks awfull when he smiles and runs...

When I first saw the animated version it scared the heck out of me. Then I saw it again and thats when I noticed how horrible it was. It is an insult to Tolkien's works in my opinion and I don't plan to ever watch it again!

yeah all the animated tolkien vids are preeetty gross, and disgraceful if you ask me...great for a good laugh though.
Ok in FotR, why does it always change from normal looking animation to like...really wierd, dark, half-real looking orcs?...funky - like the Helm's Deep scene at the end is totally unlike the rest of the movie (i think...it's been a while since i last saw it - and shall remain that way)
And Boromir should never wear a viking hat and mini-skirt...
And Thranduil needs to look like an ELF!
lol

Wow, the animated Bakshi fil was a disgrace! I didn't pay much attention to the last bit of it, the freaking orcs were a bunch of people in costumes stuffed with pillows, and the Balrog was some guy in a velvety lion costume standing upright....Biggest waste of a budget I've ever seen...
