The movie that looked so bad that the film processing studio in Spain thought the negatives were a mistake or prank.
Gandalf was a Juggalo?
This is probably the only animated film that has a genuine blooper in it.
In a scene where the fellowship runs across a field in slow motion, Aragon trips and falls over the sword in his belt at the end of a shot. They fucking animated it and left it in there! I burst out laughing every time I see that scene.

My dad was an animator on this! It was his first job in the industry
