Yeah, there was. It was a Rankin 3-parter as I recall. The Hobbit - The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. This, of course, confused the hell out of kids who wanted to read the books and had no idea what the hell Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers were. I was always under the impression that the Hobbit was the first, LOTR second, and ROTK third. Makes sense, right?
