Alright, I gotta question. Could something like this be done for Bakshi's LOTR? To preserve the original narration.

I assume so. It has been a long time since I have seen the Bakshi LOTR, what was changed?

They changed the narration at the end. Originally, the narration played over the final shot, and was a very brief blurb that promised a sequel. The new narration cuts in right when Gandalf tosses up his sword in the end and makes it more standalone (since a Return of the King film was never produced). Also, the narrator of the new version is clearly different from the narrator of the rest of the film.
