I've seen the whole film...many, many times. I watched it a lot when I was little (and I actually didn't realize it was supposed to have anything to do with the book until I was at least ten). I have a deep nostalgic fondness for it. This doesn't translate into any attempts to defend it or anything (someone once tried to explain to me why Bashki's LotR was awesome. I explained to them why it wasn't. He--it happened to be a full grown man--threw a temper tantrum and called me homophobic for not agreeing with him, because he also happened to be gay. I'm not homophobic--I'm you-phobic, silly Bashki-loving man!), but I'll still claim it, just as I claim The Last Unicorn as one of my favorite movies--I don't care how jacked up the animation is, or how outdated the soundtrack is (besides, I love the soundtrack on its own too), I think it's beautiful and shiny and Christopher Lee is made of win.
