Discussing
Foolishness and Faith in 1978's The Lord of the Rings

In Ralph Bakshi’s animated adaptation, the hobbits are kindred spirits with the members of the early church.

This, this is everything: “Frodo couldn’t complete his quest on his own; Bakshi couldn’t complete his film; we cannot bring about our own salvation. But God works in the grace notes to redeem our foolish messes, transforming them into a story worth telling, again and again.“
