	No, Bakshi bought the rights to all of The Lord of the Rings
    from Disney, who bought the rights from Tolkien, and sat on them
    for 15 years, and decided they couldn't do anything with them.
	I believe that Bakshi sold the rights to the end of the story
    to try to recoup some cash after his big loss on LotR -- part I.
	I really wish Disney had done LotR -- I think they would at
    least have looked in the back of the book to see how the names
    were supposed to be pronounced!
