One of the networks carried a sequel a while back called
"the Return of the King", which should have been subtitled
"Greatest Hits of Middle Earth". It was lousy! The animation
was awful, even worse than "The Hobbit" which was aired
a while back (and which featured songs and music by Jud Strunk).
Anyway, my understanding of the whole mess was that the studios
and Bakshi had a disagreement, and that Bakshi was going to go
do his own version of the second half, but since the studios
held the rights, he got tied up in legal problems. Meanwhile,
the studios put out that awful version that was on network TV.
