Okay this requires a bit of explanation.

 

I have the R1 DVD of Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings. It's a good DVD, but there is one thing I don't like:

 

They change the ending narration. The film originally ended with a narrator saying "so ends the first part of the War of the One Ring." The DVD ends with a new narration (that occurs slightly earlier) which says "the forces of darkness were driven back by the valiant effort of Frodo's friends [more I can't remember] thus ends the first great tale of The Lord of the Rings."

 

There's nothing wrong with the new ending, I just want the old one for nostalgia's sake.

 

Does anyone know if the various R2 releases use the original narration, or if any of the R1 rereleases do?

 

Thanks.
